The Beta News

Tweet Over the summer we’ve seen a bunch of presumed blockbusters falter after their opening weekends. Brüno was no success (if you’ve seen Borat, you’ve seen Brüno), Duplicity with Julia Roberts cost $60 million to make, but made only $40 million in the US. Land of the Lost, Will Ferrell’s $100 million adventure-comedy, made $49 […]

Tweet Last Monday I started as a writer at The Inquisitr run by Duncan Riley. To me this is a huge opportunity to come one step closer to my big dream - make a living out of blogging and social media. I’m covering the “graveyard shift” also known as the European time slot I make […]

Tweet The theme I’m currently using is from WooThemes it’s called Fresh News. It’s probably the best theme I’ve ever owned and tried.

Tweet My dear faithful readers. I’m terribly sorry about the recent trouble on The Beta News. I did an update a few days ago, unfortunately it messed up my .htaccess file. I’ve fixed that and everything is back to normal again. Well it is until I hit the “Update” button and update this blog to […]

Tweet As you’ve probably noticed, The Beta News has recieved a new look. I wasn’t quite sure that the old theme encouraged people to comment on my posts, and after all, commenting and discussing is what blogging is all about. So I’ve bought this lovely WordPress theme from WooThemes called FreshNews. Until now I’m more […]

Tweet I’m about to start season 3 of Show Me Your Desktop, but as any good interviewer I spent quite some time researching. In my “research” I contacted Scott Beale from Laughing Squid. I wanted to interview him. This is what he replied.

Tweet The twittermania continues. “Every time a bell rings, a new twitter service gets it’s wings” - You may use this quote freely. It’s almost impossible to keep track of all the new twitter services that are constantly launched. I’ve created a list of the most recent services. The list goes from Tweetmarks and spamplets […]

Tweet I’ve had this post in my head for quite some time. I’m not sure if it will work, but I have to get it out of my head. I tried stabbing my brain with Q-tips, but it doesn’t help anymore. Statement: Blogging is just like a massively multi player online game, it could be […]
