Minor design tweeks

You may or may not have noticed a few changes I made to the design of the site. They include the following:
+ Changing the body text to Georgia. I like this font for reading moreso than sans-serif fonts.
+ Enlarging the font size across the board. Makes for easier reading on my longer posts and titles [...]

More notes on AngryJournalist.com

This week AngryJournalist.com broke the 2,000 comment barrier and has seen more than 125,000 page loads and 64,000 unique visitors. As my friend stated, the Web site has officially become of a bit of a meme. Here’s a list so far:
+ HappyJournalist.com - I thought this would happen eventually. Although, as Gawker and others have [...]


New theme and an upgrade

A few days ago, I noticed that after my hosting service “upgraded” their management system that my posts here started to appear in chronological order, rather than reverse chronological order like a normal blog. Not knowing how to fix this, I decided to upgrade WordPress to version 2.3.3. This fixed the problem, though I’m still [...]


Why I won’t run advertisements on AngryJournalist.com

A few friends of mine asked me why I refused to put up advertising on AngryJournalist.com, even something as simple as a few text ads from Google AdSense despite it being relatively successful in terms of traffic. I have a few reasons for this.
First, I really dislike advertising. I run the Adblock plugin on [...]


Two weeks later, reflecting back at the AngryJournalist.com experiment

It’s been two weeks since I announced the launch of AngryJournalist.com and since that time the site has exceeded every expectation I held for it. However, it comes with a mixed feelings about its so-called success, and I still see no solution for the problems that plague the journalism industry.
In just half a month, the [...]


Announcing AngryJournalist.com

Today, I launched AngryJournalist.com. Here’s its motto:
AngryJournalist.com is for the underpaid, overworked, frustrated, pissed off and ignored media professionals to publicly and anonymously vent their anger. Share your story. With any luck, you’ll feel better.
The site has a simple prompt for visitors: Why are you angry today?
Anyone may write their rant about what’s causing them [...]


‘Tis the season to redesign

I’ve redesigned my personal Web site, kiyoshimartinez.com and also updated my links page.
I thought about doing a very elaborate redesign for my site, but realized the more complex ideas I had, the more cluttered and unclean it would look. So, I went for a very simple layout that kept plenty of white space, iconic [...]


Introducing my tumblelog

You’ve probably noticed that I don’t post with any sort of frequency at all here at Nerdlusus. While I really do enjoy using and learning about WordPress as a blog publishing platform, it’s a bit cumbersome to use for things that are much more brief in nature. For instance, if I come across a YouTube [...]


I’m blogging for Justin.TV

You might have heard of Justin.TV, where he’s wearing a camera strapped to his head 24/7 and streaming it live online … forever.
The site put out a casting call for bloggers yesterday. I applied and was selected as one of the new blog team members today. You can read my first post here at [...]
