Motivation may be external (for example, social approval) or internal (satisfaction from a job well-done, for instance). External sources tend to be transient, while internal sources tend to produce more consistent performance. Why Intelligent People Fail from Michael [...]

  • Ron posted an update in the group all can create groups?:   1 month, 2 weeks ago · View

    okay, so my new \”testaccount\” (user name) is a \”contributor\” but still allowed to create groups. That might be fine, I\’ll have to see though if I can change what contributors are allowed to do in case on a different / controversial site they start to create negative groups.

    Next task, I have to find some way to make the \”become a member\” easier. It is most annoying that the \”Activation\” email doesn\’t bother to mention any details at all. However, that should be relatively easy to fix. (Hummm, did I really want to dive into changing code on Buddypress … I guess I have no choice if I am going to use this stuff.)

  • Ron wrote a new blog post: Most Used WordPress Plugins   1 month, 2 weeks ago · View

    ThumbnailOver the last few years I found the following plugins most helpful: Akismet (by Automattic): Comes bundled with WordPress, Akismet “blocks 99.9% of spam” from reaching your blog. (Ok, it does a decent job, but let’s not exaggerate Akismet, ok?) Broken Links Checker (by Janis Elsts ): I only activate this occasionally to check for broken links, but it works well. [...]

The thrust of this website has always been one of education. In the past while it was specifically educating about Pandemic flu, however, I want to [...]
