Wordpress.com Becomes Mobile Friendly
2009-10-21 12:37:00 Finally! Wordpress has launched two mobile themes that will be automatically rendered when someone accesses the Wordpress blogs with a “compatible mobile phone“. These themes will be independent of the themes rendered on web browsers. It will only depend on the type of mobile phone used. According to the Official Wordpress blog, mobile devices account for over 60 million page views per month on Wordpress.com blogs. The main reason for the launch of these mobile themes is said to be the inability of the older phones to render the widget and theme heavy blogs on their browsers using ancient technology. For the advanced phones (iPhone and Android) having latest browsers, they have launched the modified version of WPtouch theme. For all other phones they have launched the advanced version of their stripped down WordPress Mobile Edition theme. Both these themes do not have a huge difference between the design and quality. The main focus is on displaying the main content as...

Hundreds of veggie friendly Chicagoans celebrated Chicago VeganMania
2009-10-11 07:28:00 Line circles around waiting for Soul Vegetarian East food to deliver second batch I've been a vegetarian for four years and I was a pescatarian for one year, but it still boggles my mind when I go to vegetarian or vegan events and see massive amounts of people who eat like me, maybe because we're only about 2.5 percent of the population. It's not like I think I'm the only one who's a vegetarian, but when you hang out with omnivores all the time who have no interest in vegan food, a food connection is a relief. However, when I arrived at the Pulaski Park Fieldhouse at 9:45 a.m., and saw a line around the corner and past 1419...

Indian Government Sites Not Yet Fully Disabled-friendly – Now Who Wil
2009-09-11 09:43:00 The Indian Government passed the Disability Act in 1995, which among other things mandates that public information should also be provided in a disabled-friendly format to those Indian citizens who might have a need for it. With increasing proliferation of the Internet, electronic accessibility of information has become extremely crucial. In February this year, the government finally ensured that 50 of its websites shall be made disabled-friendly in order to make accessibility easy. The guidelines to ensure that a website is disabled-friendly is not a long list. Just a few important factors need to be ensured, like: Including the ‘ALT’ attribute for all images so that visitors who have problem viewing the image can easily listen to the ALT text using speech synthesizers Ability to know where the link is pointed at, without having to read the surrounding text Use of a consistent style to identify hyperlinks which is not solely based on color Use of frames to be avoided ...

Fall Office Fashions: Eco-Friendly Designs By Feral Childe
2009-08-23 05:05:00 Office wear doesn't need to be boring, most companies are embracing contemporary trends that are still conservative enough for the workplace.

Designer Feral Childe certainly doesn?t follow the same beliefs, since not only have they introduced a new line of office appropriate wear that?s verging on contemporary, it?s also eco-friendly.
Product review: Eco-friendly meds? And fashionable too
2009-08-20 13:45:00 At RedEye, we we tend to get random stuff in the mail. Magazines, batteries, candy--even a chocolate hand once. So when I received a packaged of little boxes that said things like "Help I have a blister," I kind of ignored it for a while, despite its eco-friendly claims. It just looked like a different way of packaging meds.At some point, my attention span was waning at work and I started scanning my desk to avoid the computer screen for a few minutes--and I ended up investigating the package from Help Remedies. Long story short, they peaked my interest enough that I'm telling you about them now ......
Lolla '09 review: Friendly Fires
2009-08-09 21:23:00 12:30 p.m. Budweiser stageEnglish dance rockers Friendly Fires have only one goal, and crazy, sweaty heat is no excuse: These guys expect you to move. It was easy to oblige with throbbing takes on "White Diamonds" and horn flourishes on hip-commanding stuff like "In the Hospital" and "Lovesick." If these frisky, '80s-influenced groove machines' less-danceable stuff like "Strobe" isn't as captivating, it's at least a moment to breathe, look around the bar, and say hey, whoever that is that came in with Molly Ringwald is looking good.Find tons of reviews, photos and more in our complete Lollapalooza guide...

Citizen-Friendly Portals From The Government Coming Soon
2009-07-24 14:20:00 I have been jabbering about how politicians and the government need to enhance their online presence, and it looks as if the UT administration has finally reached that decision. The Chandigarh Administration is in talks to develop a department wide front end interface for users which will encompass all the current and new e-Governance initiatives. It’s called the State Service Delivery Gateway (SSDG) and will go a long way in pushing user friendly, time saving and red-tape breaking schemes to the masses. If the project goes live; citizens will be able to download all kinds of forms through the Common Services Centers (CSC) outlets and submit them online. No more giving bribes to babus (don’t you just hate that?) or standing in long lines to get your passport forms. Sounds like a dream, I know, but just might come true. This Government of India initiative also aims at utilizing existing infrastructure and building more computing infrastructure. “The scheme aims at making all go...

Children are NOT Eco-friendly
2009-06-29 11:44:00 I don’t consider environmental concerns to be one of my ’soapboxes’, but it is something I think is important and tend to watch out for. I recycle, conserve water, buy CFL bulbs and more, both in an effort to conserve my own dollars and the environment. One thing I’ve realized recently that I’ve had to accept is that my children are not very eco-friendly. I don’t mean in the sense that they take up space, breath air, eat things, defecate and are much like a parasite feeding off this planet (aren’t we all). No, I’m perfectly okay with that, it’s the other things that bug me. Things like flushing the toilet three times after going (or not going) on the potty. Using half the roll of toilet paper to wipe with each time, or discovering kleenex and tp can wipe your nose and then using multiple pieces at every sniffle. They drop perfectly good food on the floor, slightly soil the occasional disposable diaper forcing me to use more, and...

Stop Being a Number - User Friendly Vanity URLs Coming Soon on Facebook
2009-06-01 05:24:00 While playing around (not literally) on a poster for a client to promote their Facebook page, we are often caught in the issue of what to print on it. Take WAT Media’s fan page for instance - it is www.facebook.com/pages/WAT/1469-5170337. Now even if we somehow manage to print it somewhere, I guess hardly anyone would remember it enough to go find it on Facebook by typing such a URL out.Things get worse for individual profiles like ours - basically on Facebook we are just numbers. However, there seems to be hope for a lot of us now. A good 3 months after it initially tested it out, Facebook now seems to be looking at providing vanity URLs to its users. Which means profiles and most like even pages can get vanity URLs - say Facebook.com/Maneesh (I’d like that a lot, though I know eight others who would like to beat me to it). And something tells me this is going to be a fiercely contested and highly spirited affair when Facebook opens it doors - 200 million people is huge ...
