Always said you would like to have a social news site like digg, but didn’t have the time to develop or work on it? Thanks to slinkset.com, you don’t have to. They promise to deliver you your own social news site that you can customize, user your own domain on and auto-post links via RSS for free. Here are a few examples:
One more cool feature is it looks like you can create a private site too, that would only be accessible to the people you invite. Give slinkset.com a shot, and if you create one yourself feel free to share it here with us.

Yesterday I spend a little time playing around with my WordPress theme here, looking at adding widgets to themes that didn’t come “pre-designed” with them in mind. Thankfully for people like me Automattic has a great tutorial on how to get this done. Along with adding a few more features, support for gravatars and a third column I promise this version of the layout has 10% more awesomeness.

The CSS Text Wrapper is probably the coolest thing I have seen when it comes to what you can do with text on a web page. Then again… how many things have we seen?
This tool makes it easy to wrap your text on a web page around in new and different ways. No more rectangle blocks! You can make text wrap around curves, zig-zags, or whatever you want. To get started, all you have to do is use the wizard on their web site. The output will be saved as Javascript, XHTML w/ Classes, or Inline CSS/XHTML.

When looking at your basic FTP file listing in a browser, it can be a ‘bit on the dull and boring side. Why not spice that up with a custom user style? If you have Stylish for Firefox installed - and pick up the “FTP pages were awful” style you could even make them look this pretty…
No more ugly black and white boring listings for me, I like this much better. Not only does it look better but it is also much more functional too.

The main problem with content management systems (or sometimes referred to as CMS) is that many people find them complicated, too technical and way over their head. If your searching for an “every man” way of managing your content take a look at CushyCMS. A hosted CMS solution.
Hosted by them and edited on their servers, you can quickly create your content, with no worry about installing software or learning any programming languages. They say that your final product will be a standards compliant (and search engine friendly) masterpiece that can not be beat.
CushyCMS promises to be the easiest way to get a web site up in no time at all. I do have to say it is an interesting idea (and I wish them all the best). Curious to see how many people will turn to these types of solutions over your normal web hosting account and Joomla install for example?
