Commented in 7 Best Free WordPress Plugins For Business Websites
I think the GTranslate-plugin is also worth mentioning. I installed that last month on my site and it didn't really grow the number of visitors, but the time spent on my site grew significantly. People read more blog-posts and also the information-page was visited way more. :-) It's not perfect, I know, but now it is not just in Dutch, but also English, French and Spanish, without the cost of a translator. :-)

Commented in How Much Does It Cost to Build a Website for a Small Business
Websites are tricky beasts for sure, and the pricing for one site can be anywhere from free to thousands of dollars.
However, it is like that proverb; you can only have two of the three, cheap, fast, or quality.
"How much does making a website cost?" is a vast question and getting to the answer we need to ask more direct questions;
What the purpose of your website?
There is a wide range of sites on the web that perform various amount of functions.
Types of websites: Educate people Facilitate commerce Promote lead gathering Access social networking Write a blog Offer training Create affiliate sales Boost their branding Sell their business's services Develop a reputation as an industry expert Provide entertainment
For example, a blog will be significantly cheaper to create and maintain while an e-commerce story has multiple functions and moving parts that require more skill and money to produce.
Without knowing its purpose, building a website will be challenging because you don't see the function it's supposed to serve.
Is your website's name important to you?
Website domains vary in cost depending on an array of reasons. If you can be flexible on the name, you can buy one for relatively cheap.
Have you considered hosting?
Your website host is the company that owns the server your website lives on. There are many options here with again a broad range of costs.
DIY or hire designer
If you have to talent to design a site yourself, sites like WordPress and Wix are types of shortcuts for web designing. These sites offer templates that can be dragged and dropped making the design stage faster. Using these DIY options will cause.

Commented in “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” Is Your Latest Problematic Fave
Take it easy, Baby! The ‘seasonal culture critic’ that brought you this slap-happy Rudolph takedown, Christina Cauterucci, might be lashing out because of personal issues. It can’t be easy even dealing when your D.C. nightlife blog’s gone under, so what if you’ve already gotten out of school and finally gotten a paying job. You try keeping your inner light alive turning out such work product as a defense of the one-boobed Christmas sweater and an acid-tongued take on why The Real L Word is bad for lesbians. Sometimes, wipes tear, even properly linking a meme is too much to endure. Yet, still, somehow, she's got a solid goddamn point here. I rather like her summation, too:
In real life, there are no Santas with unimpeachable moral compasses. Good people can still end up with coal in their stockings, and sometimes, the people who shame others the loudest are doing the exact things they condemn. It’s never too early to disabuse a child of her respect for authority. [Emphasis added.]
Sometimes it's not called Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer, sometimes it's called Karate Kid or Million Dollar Baby, and maybe you love them for their faults more every year, but they can still be genuinely messed up. While you may've gotten one thing out of it, if you happened to be the target of ridiculously cruel bullying for an intrinsic part of who you are, you might find that existential nightmare to be more stinging than you otherwise would. No reflection on you or your house-of-cards childhood, it's just more obvious when the allegory is impossible to miss.
Good news though, chum. You passed. "Diffabled" is an ideologically acceptable way to refer to the differently-abled. We decided so at the last Thursday night meeting of the disaffected misfits-among-misfits society. Thanks for your unwitting participation in the cruelly indifferent hellscape of our daily lives!

Commented in AIM will shut down after 20 years
My first pc was not really a pc in the sense we see it now. It was an Atari 800 XL, a secondhand from family. Including taperecorder for data, hahaha. After that it was a borrowed computer, same specs like yours. And then: years on other people's machines. Until they got sick of me, handed me spare parts and instructions in the likes of "I'll hear it if it burns down". My first Linux was also on someone else's machine, Red Hat. My very own first distro was a 5 cd pack with book of SuSe. But with the coming of Fedora I was convinced of the possibilities plus it installed a bit more adjusted to my knowledge of computers at that time (not too trustworthy). Good times. :-)
I forgot about MSN. Yeah, I have used that on Linux (with Pidgin). And only because most people were using that. ;-)

Commented in 300 Scientists Want NOAA To Stop Hiding Its Global Warming Data
We could save time by listing what, about this piece, isn’t paid for by Exxon and the Koch brothers.
The author, still at George Mason University, manages to work for the Mercatus Center in between Daily Caller pieces about the dangers posed by an out-of-control Sierra Club, the inherent safety of fracking and the sinister threat of rooftop solar power. The publisher, with a journalistic record several notches below that of BeforeItsNews.com, is owned by Koch confidante and fundraising partner Foster Friess. You may remember this well-heeled feller as a co-founder of FreedomWorks. You know, the collosal slush fund that founded the Tea Party.
Oh, and what a choice selection of signatories! Have a look through what’s being passed off as a set of scientists. C’mon, give that gang a once-over, why don’t you. See anything in common?
The congresscritter in charge of the now-farcical anti-science "House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology," Rep. Lamar Smith, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exxon, getting more payoffs from fossil fuels than any other industry, is how the Kochs got congressional subpoena power with which to witch-hunt federal climate scientists.
Much as there were those who, once they’d gotten the president’s ‘long form’ birth certificate then sternly demanded his complete college transcripts, this grandstanding idjut, unsatisfied by the long-since-past complete public release of his going MacGuffin, now struts and pecks about the barnyard demanding evidence that does not exist about crimes he cannot name, though if it's conspiracy theories you're after, he's got those. Having already compelled as much testimony and as many federal employee emails as he possibly could, doubtless this circus sideshow is meant to build up steam for a new round of pointless influence-peddling theater. His pool doesn’t heat itself, you know.
Yet another bought-and-paid-for bogus scandal meant to murky-up the truth about climatic changes we see around us every day.
People intent on denying climate change tend to pick one particular reason at-a-time why none of it’s true, right? One already-debunked, worthless-to-the-debate, magical-thinking nostrum they’ll pretend — if they suck their thumbs hard enough and really believe — means they have nothing to fear. Horseshit like this is supposed to encourage them. There’ll be thumbsuckers, not known for their principled belief in open-eyed, clear-minded and thorough investigation of the physical world in which they live, that’ll see this and know they’re right. When confronted by irrefutable evidence that their latest fantasy is exactly that, they’ll switch to another. Unthinking denial, just like this garbage.
OP, what’s your story here? Is this interesting? Is there a nuance here that’s gone completely over my head? Is this a classic moment in history, like: “Oh, how we’re we going to look back on this and laugh so hard in fifty years...” or something?

Commented in [Discussion] What Anime have the best/most unique art styles?
Katanagatari's got a pretty cool art style. I'm not sure how to describe it, it feels a bit "flat". Some character designs of the maniwa in particular are really nice.
I also like the scenery in most shows made by shaft. They tend to use a lot of geometric shapes and patterns in the architecture of buildings. Monogatari, mekakucity actors, nisekoi and madoka.

Commented in 'Pendulum Factor' could land Trump in White House
I saw an article linking Trump to our local, long-time rep Jim Traficant. You guys remember Traficant, right? He was that insane, corrupt mobster that kept on getting electing that would go on those crazy populist rants on the floor of the house? Yeah, well he was completely ineffective as a representative, but he Never lost an election. That brand of crazy, that populist "Speaking truth to power" anger speaks to a lot of voters. https://dar2dream.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/trump-channels-traficant/

Commented in Designer Creates Beautiful Logo For 2020 Tokyo Olympics And The Internet Is Loving It
I'll say what I said on Reddit yesterday; I actually do prefer the official logo to the one this "designer" has created.
One commentor shared this link, which also includes this video. Seeing the design in action, I can really get behind the overall branding.
It's not great, but you can see the T, and the typeface was obviously chosen to correspond with the shape of the logo. The designer's own explanation for the black bar is that "black represents diversity because it includes all the colours," which I think it pretty dumb, but the shape itself is strong and bold, complimenting the thin points of the gold and silver shapes well. The gold and silver immediately call to mind medals – victory – and the gold, furthermore, is the same as (or very similar to) the colour used in the Togo 1964 logo. And then there's the red circle – an obvious reference to Japan's flag, but also the only bold colour in the logo (aside from the rings, of course), which makes it a major focal point, and keeps the logo overall looking clean and elegant.
Is it perfect? I'd say no, but it's a sight better than Olympic logos of recent years. To me, what really makes it a great bit of design is the theme that can be made from all the shapes involved.

Commented in Why Being ‘Born Gay’ is a Dangerous Idea
Odds are, Shamus Khan wasn’t born to tell the very rich what they want to hear. Or, as he might prefer to call it, his “strong focus on elites.” Rather, his concern that our betters fully grasp how very much better they are, and that deep-pocketed patrons of the arts are properly fawned over for their generosity, is probably a ‘social construct’ in which he chose to be what the French might call a ‘fayot.’
Doubtless he will find an appreciative audience for this piece, in which he threatens that if we accept that some behavior may have its basis in an innate condition, then we must then be Nazi eugenicists, as a matter of necessity. Laurels and coin of the realm may rain down on his head for having conceived this brilliant indictment of homosexuality, and I have no doubt Khan is seeing to that presently. This obsequious need to be of service, even as an intellectual hired hand, is likely to be the result of cultural conditioning, more so than his having some genetic predisposition toward flattery of the upper crust, what he calls his work “within the areas of cultural sociology and stratification.”
Me, I accepted there might be some small genetic basis for behavior when I began to recognize my parents, quite strongly, in myself. And I needed even less obvious evidence than that to know that instincts and drives are often innate.
However Khan found his calling, his pronouncement that the very idea anyone has an innate sexual orientation is ”a false idol of bad science,” and more than just that, that it is “dangerous,” will be more warmly received by his intended audience than people that know better. Say, for instance, people that have had, to their despair and their to-anyone-else unimaginable suffering and alienation, an inconvenient innate sexual orientation.
Khan can’t help it that this screed is about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. Any inherent weakness in his argument in this piece is no doubt due to the pay rate he was offered by Aeon, and the missing zeroes at the end of his grants and endowments. If only society’s elites of elites were less stingy when it came time to pay their loyal sycophants, no doubt he would ’ve been able to fashion a better sort of work for them. Perhaps he will no make that case to them, as he sees about getting checks for this rich piece of work here.
I fully expect we’ll hear much, much more from this fount of traditional values. I very much doubt he could put a cork in it if he tried. Born that way, I expect.
