Moving house (metaphorically)

Hello peeps!  Bits and Bytes will be moving to its new home on Tumblr soon, due to its integration with Facebook and the fact that making short posts on Tumblr is a lot easier (and looks better because of the layout).  I'll be sure to post the new link when it goes live; and this time, I'm not changing my mind.

EDIT: The new Bits and Bytes is hosted on Tumblr.

The End (maybe)

Hi everyone,

Due to increased spamming and my own lack of enthusiasm to manage 3 Facebook pages + my own profile, a Tumblr blog and this blog simultaneously, I have decided that one of them must go.  Yes, Bits and Bytes is finally closing down.  I'll leave access open for another couple of weeks, but I've disabled comments so that I don't have to remove any more spam in that time period.

If you'd like to keep up with me, feel free to friend me at http://www.facebook.com/adam.dawson1 and say that you're one of my Blogger readers.

It's been a long road, and thank you all for being there for all of it.

God bless,
Adam Dawson ('Mada')

EDIT: I'm going to give this a break for now and see if the spammers are gone by the time I come back to it.  Perhaps I shouldn't have been so hasty in deciding to shut this down after all.

Spammers

Ugh, annoying Chinese spammers keep commenting on my blog.  I'm pretty sure that they aren't bots this time, but then again, they could be.  I'd love to be able to trace them back to their source!

It's a livin'

Whew!  After the revamp of my website business's...website, I think I now offer almost 2,000 individual templates (it says over 1,800 but I just added more template links).  The most awesome thing about the revamp?  I've switched from using the Joomla CMS system to WordPress, which happened to be one of the smartest things I ever did.  Trust me, if you're thinking of making a website (and please note that I can save you that pain by doing it for you), DO NOT use Joomla!  WordPress is, in comparison, by far superior and has prettier templates too.

So yeah, that was pretty much an unashamed attempt at advertising my business to you all.  So, ummm...did I mention I pay for referrals? :-D

I has a new blog

Behold my creation: Just Another Photography Blog
I'm quite proud of this one.

Oh, and you should check out the trailer for Disney's new fairy tale movie, "Tangled".  It's loosely based on Rapunzel, but from the little I've seen, the "lampoon the fairy tale" style reminds me of Shrek.  I like. :-D
