Just noticed this in my news feed: (No clue who Morgan Fleur De Lys is) First time I've seen this. :boid:

I was checking out my nephew's Nintendo DS and the first thing I thought to myself was, "Wow, I remember when the $300 console systems were trying to achieve this level of playability and graphics. Now, it's in a handheld that's considered trash by more serious gamer kids." Made me feel pretty...

Trying to finish up my first work in time for the Christmas boom. Not really sure what to expect, but the passive income model of Kindle Direct Publishing is really appealing. Any of you have any works self-published on Kindle? How they doing? Any insights you can share with a peasant?

I imagine since many of you work from home that you may have experience with this. Recently, I find myself sleeping pretty insane amounts. Last night, for example, went to bed at 8pm and woke at 12pm. 16 hours. Still tired and feel as though I could sleep an additional 8 hours easily. I've been...

Obviously I should be doing work right now, but, in true wickedfire fashion, I'm going to post rants about the state of current TV. Shows these days are just crap. I mean, really crappy. Mostly because the storylines are just garbage and have no depth. Without further ado, here's my rant: 1...

I'm preparing to launch a few digital products which will be distributed through various outlets, while each outlet has it's own tracking/reports, I'm wondering how you all go about tracking your overall sales and stats to measure growth, product popularity, the effectiveness of promotion...

Sorry to rant, but I just have to get this off my chest. I check out a few of the more popular internet marketing forums to try and stay on top of news, techniques and other things. It has gotten to the point where I'm pretty much just disgusted (like, I seriously feel physically ill) when I...

Just thought I'd share the news: Clickbank has launched a new color code system which rates accounts by their risk level. Seems additional fees are involved for vendors AND affiliates when a customer refunds or issues a chargeback. I'm still reading up on it, myself, but here it is: Refunds and...

My theme wasn't really designed to do this, but I'd like to have a standalone index page (using page template from theme) and move blog index page to /blog/ - everything else can remain the same. How would I do this?

I'm interested in coding a site that does the following: 1. Wordpress Plugin - Submits each article of the blog and it's Tags (and every new article) to the central database site. - Validates account level and restrictions. - Inserts 5 related articles, with similar tags as the main article...

Honestly, I haven't been following much politics outside of Wicked Fire, but, seeing as how political, economy, and government threads are always the most viral here, why hasn't one of you assholes started a show? I can see it already: Pewep debates Lukep on round 1 domestic policy debate...

I've come up with a very interesting idea that I'd like to pursue that involves licensing great music. But, from my limited research, even for something like a YouTube video, it's going to cost you like $10,000 in perpetuity (obviously it varies depending on the song and the artist) for even...

I'm bored. Thought this would be an interesting poll. votes are not public.

Hmm?

So, I've pretty much made the decision that I'm going to start producing some type of video content for my site. The problem is, I'm clueless when it comes to both production (which I'm learning) and copyright issues. I understand copyright with images and how all that works for websites and...
