WordPress Multisite: How To for Beginners

I’ve been struggling to setup WordPress MultiSite. The few times I tried to follow tutorials online, I was thrown off because they all referered to dealing with an FTP program, which I’ve never used and know little about. I called upon the help of more experienced friends but our schedules haven’t allowed for any progress so I’m now determined to figure...

Life in Pictures

I’ve spoken of Life Documentation for quite a while now, but I’ve struggled to put it into practice. I love the notion of capturing life in a specific time and place through imagery, static or moving. I want to remember what I looked like, what I wore, where I lived and spent my time. I want to be reminded of people, places, things and thoughts perhaps...

James Blake (Splendour Sideshow) @ The Prince Bandroom – 27/7/11

Out of the blue, my boyfriend got me a crew pass for this Splendour Sideshow in Melbourne. I had previously Googled James Blake when I heard Sean was going to be driving him and his crew around, but everything I found online was quite tame in comparison to the baffling live experience my eyes and ears were privy to at this 2nd of two sold out Melbourne...

What's this Google + all about?

This week I've witnessed numerous Facebook statuses requesting invites to Google+, quickly followed by declarations to the tune of: "It's just Facebook by Google". Quite obviously the layout to Google+ resembles that of Facebook's and there are surely reasons behind this. People don't respond well to change. Can you think back to the last few times...

Publishing in the Digital Age: Nimble Content

Tonight, instead of our usual potluck dinner social session, the #techgirlsdinnerclub hit the city streets for a talk on Publishing in the Digital Age hosted by UX Melbourne. The special event was held at Horse Bazaar, a really cool little hole in the wall with great decor and an impressive audio-visual setup catering to, I assume, many various types...

Challenge: The 4 Hour Body

Sean and I have taken on a health challenge. Winter usually brings about laziness and gorging over comfort foods. Instead of putting on the winter weight, we’ve decided to challenge ourselves with a slow-carb diet. Ideally, we’d like to eat and exercise consciously throughout the winter so that once Spring comes about we’re in the right position to...

Out and About: Proud Mary, Collingwood

I’d like to make it a habit to get out of the house and get some work done within a cozy cafe environment. There’s something about being surrounded by life that inspires me to write. I’m making it a point to check out a few different popular hangs in our surrounding neighbourhoods: Collingwood, Fitzroy, Clifton Hill and Northcote. Also leaning towards...

Starting a Tech Business

Again this morning I awoke feeling frustrated. I finally have the time to work on my project, but I’m struggling to get the wheels in motion. At first figured my best course of action would be to start building a website that showcases some of my feature ideas, but I’m reminded now that the tools I need to do this don’t exist yet and I must venture...
