Wordpress sounds pretty good. Can you host through WP, or is it just content-management?

Wordpress sounds pretty good. Can you host through WP, or is it just content-management?

There are two (REALLY confusingly named) options -- WordPress.com is a hosted service that starts at free and has some paid options you can add on to that; you get the choice of a hundred or so themes, many of which have some kind of customization options.

WordPress is also open-source content management software (available at WordPress.org -- see? REALLY FUCKING CONFUSING!) that you can host on pretty much any hosting service you choose. On that path, you can pick whatever themes and plugins (a.k.a. functional add-ons) you want, or build your own stuff.

I help build the core software that runs both of those options, as well as making my living building sites with it, so I'm happy to help with sorting out the confusions. Can't do anything about the stupid dot com vs. dot org naming, though.

I think I'm going to do it.

Now, to find another G4 case, or use my G4 MDD with a bad power supply?

Decisions, Decisions.

Ripping apart my MDD G4, I have it nearly gutted. I think I can keep the MDD look with a hinged piece of mirrored plastic, or the old doors itself, with a knob where the power button was.

Anyone else having trouble with Yahoo mail?

It works for me from phone/tablet/iPad, but not from my regular Win7 computer. I can log in, but when I try to open email, I get a blank white screen.

It is apparently a widespread problem.

Workaround for now is to access the "old" version using [link]

eta: 30 minutes later, it's working normally for me now.

I want to set up a production bible wiki for my team so that people will stop emailing me the same questions over and over.

What are my options for a free hosted wiki that I can make private? (Or if not free, low-cost. Basically I don't want to set up a server anywhere.)

Jess, the last time I used hosted wikis I was happy with pbwiki, which looks like it has become wikihub [link] -- I'm not sure how big your team is, but you can do 20 internal and 5 external logins on the free account.

Does anyone know a good analog clock app I can put on my Win7 desktop? I've found several online, but they all want to install other things and change my defaults. I just want an analog clock, and my clock Gadget has stopped working.

Thanks Amych, I'll look into that one.

The dying computer on which my Mom listens to audio while eating breakfast finally died. She needs something cheap with a headphone jack (to plug powered speakers into - she is a bit deaf and does not want to wear headphones while eating breakfast). Given arthritis and bad eyes she needs I think at least an 8 or 9 inch screen and (if not a touchscreen) a decent sized keyboard. So I'm thinking a cheap 8 or 9 inch android with a headphone jack. Since this is basically just to watch democracy now and the occasionally youtube vid or podcast it should be cheap. So cheap 8 to 9 inch android with headphone jack to plug powered speakers into. Recs? Under $80 ideally.
