Today’s video is Seth Godin at TED2009 and in it he gives an inspiring talk about ‘tribes’ and ‘creating a movement’. Seth’s Blog is one I try to read everyday, I suggest you go check it out. And if you don’t know what TED is you should go there  too.

You might have noticed that I have been tinkering away behind the scenes and there are a few new things here on the rossbennetts.com blog:

  • WP Greet Box is going to say hi when you first visit a post, and it delivers a tailored message depending upon where you came from… I think it’s pretty cool.
  • ‘Ads by Google’ have appeared in the sidebar using the Easy AdSense plugin and under photos and videos (with AdSense Under Image: reloaded)… I’ve tried to keep them minimal and relatively discrete… if you see anything that interests you, please click the link :) everybody has bills to pay.
  • I’ve imported many of the posts from my two other blogs over on Blog.une, Owe My Eyeball and Ross M. W. Blog. That meant I had to install the “Viper’s Video Quicktags” plugin, which almost seamlessly allowed me to import the video previously embedded with Anarchy Media Player which is getting a bit old these days.

There are more changes coming… just you wait… I hope you enjoy…

Mac mini server

rossbennetts.com is now hosted on this Mac mini server

After much mucking about, I finally got my new Mac mini server up and running and doing everything I used to do with Ubuntu (and more and more easily). Thanks to Kevin Leah for his very simple yet comprehensive how-to entitled Running Wordpress on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server and of course, thanks to Matt & the WordPress crew for making the installation of WordPress such a breeze.

Now if only I can maintain my vow to write blog posts more often… :)
