Trouble with our Feed
We’re experiencing trouble with our Feedburner feed – apologies and we certainly hope to get it fixed soon. (Oh, and Googlers who read this are most welcome to chip in to help )
About that Second “S” in SaaS – Awesome Service
”There is an app for that” – say the Apple commercials. “There is a plugin for that” – was my conclusion, while lookin for the rigth tools to move the Enterprise Irregulars blog to WordPress a few months ago. Seriously. The WordPress ecosystem is simply amazing, things that a few years ago required messing with [...]
