FeedMyInbox is a new service that recently caught my eye, due to the fact they make things very simple. They are offering you blogs, feeds and news delivered magically to your e-mail inbox. All you have to do is visit the web site and enter a web site RSS feed and your e-mail address.
Here is how FeedMyInbox explain the process:
Once you find a feed you would like to subscribe to, simply type in the web address (URL) for the site on FeedMyInbox.com. We will find the feed(s) available on the page, and you can select what you want to subscribe to. Once you subscribe to a feed, we will send an email to the address you specified. Simply click the link that is enclosed to confirm that your email address is correct, and you are all set!
It is an interesting service, to say the least.
Of course, if you want to get my feed in your inbox, that is easy enough to do without this service. Just click this link to subscribe to e-mail updates, so you never miss a post.

So you want to get up and going with your own WordPress powered web site, but you are afraid of installing it on your own? Thankfully there are a few ways you can get it installed without having to left a finger FTP client.
One solution would be to look and see if your web host has Fantastico installed. Via this cPanel addon you could have WordPress auto-install for you. Just login to your cPanel, and then go down to Fantastico and then find WordPress in the left navigation bar. Follow the on screen instructions and your set.
The second option would be to let the people at Install4Free do it for you. This is a team of volunteers who offer expert installs of WordPress for anybody who wants one. Now passing over your login details to your hosting account might seem like a bad idea but I have heard nothing but positive reviews of them thus far.
For me the WordPress install process has not ever been to difficult. I could see though where some people may be intimidated by it though. If there was third option I would suggest trying to install it yourself first.

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?

From time to time, I’ll go to the video game review sites like Gamespot and others to see what is new in the world of video games. Unlike the other areas of tech I seem to be involved in, video games are purely for pleasure and nothing else.
The problem comes in when you want to just get some reviews. You have to battle through popup ads, pretty graphics and ten page articles. If you don’t have much time, and you just want to know how good a game it try No Fuss Reviews.
This site will deliver you what you want, need and love most about video game review sites the easy to read thumbs up or thumbs down. Type in any game title and then the console that it is on and you can get a simple one through ten review of the game.
Another neat feature is, let’s say you don’t know what the title is exactly but you know it is for the Wii and it has "Mario" in the title. just type in Mario, select Wii on the side and it will give you all the Wii games with Mario in the title.

Fonts always confusing me when it comes to editing or creating a stylesheet for a web site layout. Thanks to CSS Type Set this is no longer an issue.
To use, just fire up the web site and paste in the text you wish to style. Then use the controls at the bottom of the web site to adjust the text spacing, line height, font color, font style, how it is formatted and much more.
This is turning a three hour job of playing with CSS, trying to get it just right uploading and downloading all into something you can do in about five minutes. CSS Type Set has earned a spot in my web dev folder for sure.
