Tools For Creative People And Wordpress Showcase
Hey everyone. I was surfing Digg and I found out about an article from former Lifehacker contributor Tamar Weinberg who did an entry called The Ultimate Productivity Toolbox for Creative People on Lateral Action (he is now an associate editor over there).
Its a great post for creative and work efficient people who strive toward being able to raise the quality of their work. I’m always searching for web tools on the Internet (Google, I want to thank you for many successful searches). See, everyone needs help once in a while and that is why developers bring you these tools. So you can excel in all your areas of interest. Don’t just depend on yourself, don’t sit there and use whatever tool first comes installed in your operating system. No. Search for tools and use them to your advantage.
Of course, some tools require payment. But this shouldn’t prevent you from moving forward. No, dear reader, I’m not going to say you should download the tool illegally. Support the tools! Anyways, I know some tools are just too pricey, but don’t get mislead by the price. Some tools are very expensive, but at the end they just don’t deliver. Now, the trick is simple. Bookmark the tool you want to buy, study it. How? Search for reviews, ask people that are using the tool, e-mail the product’s creator and/or the company that created it. Its simple really, always be smart when buying on the Internet.
So don’t wait any longer, go find tools that will make your Internet experience an excellent one. 
In other news, Wordpress.org launched a showcase to their site to feature the best and the unique bloggers out there.
You can search, view by tags, and more. This a nice way of searching for interesting blogs which you can gather information, resources, check out downloads, see whats new in a certain niche, and so on. Try using this new page on Wordpress.org to your advantage!
If you used it to your advantage, comment on how did the Wordpress Showcase help you and how you’re using it to your advantage.
That’s all for now folks, see you on the next entry.

Tools For Creative People And Wordpress Showcase | lowerautoinsurance | October 31st, 2008Thanks for sharing these two posts. I didn’t know wordpress had launched a showcase.
Not to start with a piggyback, but I really advise as well to research the product you buy online as well, as there are so many shabby products out there . . . and at the same time so many worthwhile ones as well.
Another suggestion I would have is to add “open source” to your search. There are so many open source projects out there, and so many of them are fantastic quality. They are free products to use, with programmers behind them that work for company’s like Apple or Google. Many of the computer products that are bought today are just monetized versions of open source projects. I know once I discovered what open source was my whole computer and internet experience completely changed.
