Two days back I took the decision to move from All in One SEO to Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin. WordPress SEO automatically adds several new columns to the posts admin screen.

Ever since the early days of Quake, Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike, I’ve loved online gaming, especially FPS. I’m currently trying my hand at Max Payne 3′s multiplayer (though I must confess I get fragged a lot more than I frag!). So, when I came across Blitz Brigade, I had to give it a try. Created by Gameloft, Blitz Brigade is a free online multiplayer FPS game for Android. You can become one of five highly skilled and totally badass classes and team up with other players to pound your enemies into the dirt and call them mean names. Key…

You’ve carefully chosen a niche market that appeals to your blog readers. It doesn’t matter if you’re blogging directly to consumers or to other businesses in and out of your niche. You faithfully and consistently post new, interesting blogs complemented with high-quality images. You know a little bit about search engine optimization (SEO) and are on the fast track to monetizing your blog.

I played Paper Toss on my old iPod a few years back and loved it. And, when I saw that Backflip Studios had released Paper Toss 2, I just had to try it out! Paper Toss 2.0 returns with a bigger and more fun environment. You no longer need to throw just paper balls, but you can choose from a wide array of items including crushed cans, bananas, tomatoes and more. And, you no longer need to aim at that one waste paper basket. Throw them at your boss or your coworkers or the poor intern who keeps moving in…

Below is a list of WordPress Themes that have been released in 2013 and stand out because they look good! Academica Academica is an education- and school-oriented CMS theme with a three-column layout and modern design. It is easy to customize and comes…
