Many of you out there would like to personalize your products, websites and more with your own logo. Unfortunately for many of us it’s just not that affordable. It’s true, this post does sound like a promotion, but I’m just having a good day.
If you would like to design your own logo’s and don’t have a lot of money and little experience I would recommend using AAA Logo. Below is some examples of a few logo’s I did in about 10 minutes. The software comes with pre-designed logo’s which you can just edit to suit your needs.
If you would like to use any of these images, which I doubt, because they’re branded, just drop me a comment. I can also put up the aaa logo files, which you can then edit. If you’ve made anything nice with AAA logo, please show us.
Extra : I’ve already recieved a request for a custom logo. If you would like a logo designed with AAA logo the cost will be about 20$. Please use the contact page to get in contact with me.

I usually don’t post my most difficult questions in my blog, due to the fact that I’m the one who is supposed to sort it out and THEN post about it. This time it’s different.
I recently made a post about the new Elgg theme Orkut, which I’m using in my new blogging network, but shortly after I discovered CosmicBuddy, the BuddyPress theme. Now CosmicBuddy provides everything that Elgg already had, which made me use Elgg in the first place.
The question is, start over with BuddyPress and the new theme, or stick with Elgg, and a much easier to use Admin interface?
If you think you can help me solve this question please drop me a comment.

More and more people want to use WordPress as a complete CMS, but because of certain limitations and the lack of a “Complete CMS Wp Plugin”, many tend to shy away from the headache their efforts will lead to.
Fortunately WordPress and the WordPress community is always busy making new things to fix YOUR problems, with the click of a button. Most of them even do it for free. If you do some searching on the net you’ll come across thousands of WordPress plugins who fulfil certain requirements.
If you spend even more time you’ll be able to find everything you need for a complete CMS. Most of us don’t like searching for hours on end and prefer if someone just gave us all the links right now. Well, that’s what I’m going to attempt. Over the next few weeks I’ll add posts explaining the greatest and most sometimes most under appreciated plugins the Wp community has to offer.
So stick around.
Useful Plugins :

There’s thousands upon thousands of great premium or free WordPress themes available online, but sometimes you want something else, something personal. The easiest way to get something personal is to design it yourself. Unfortunately many of us do not always have the skills or time to do so.
Something I do every night is search for something innovative and intuitive that can add to the WordPress experience.

Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve been comparing BuddyPress with Elgg. As many of you know BuddyPress is a suite of WordPress plugins and themes, each adding a distinct new feature. Basically a social network if you set it up correctly. Elgg is very similar is a Free Open Source Social Networking & Social Publishing Platform.
What I found is that BuddyPress and Elgg is different in so many ways and the limited time I spent on these two distinct products is a far cry from enough to lead me to a conclusive argument.
It comes down to your self. You will have to test both. So far Elgg is my favorite.
I enjoy using Elgg so much, I decided to setup a Social Network for Bloggers, called SonOfaBlog (SOB). If you have some time come over and join the community. I even plan on inviting some Elgg developers over to improve the user experience.

Testing your new WordPress installations or changes offline is very good idea, simply because it’s practical for yourself and your readers. Over the next few weeks I have to setup two new blogs and thought I would share the necessary steps to do so offline.
This series will hopefully get new additions every two days. If you feel like adding to the series, you can give me a link or a full comment and I will check it out.
