Announcing the News Theme for WordPress
Jul 1 at 7:07pm by admin

The News Theme is one more classic Performancing WordPress theme. The theme intends to mimic the look and feel of a print magazine or newspaper, with paper-like upper and lower edges, which is quite suitable for blogs that want to put forth a newspaper-y type of image (aided by the display of the current date on the masthead).
The color scheme uses subtle shades of grey and blue, with the sidebar standing out with orange tints.
News Theme is a two-column theme with a horizontal navigation bar at the header, and space for details and links at the footer. This gives the site a clean look and feel, with a wide fixed-width main body and a sidebar wide enough to accommodate long link text or banners. The space on the header can also be used for horizontal banners.
The theme was authored by Design Disease in cooperation with Performancing, and support will be provided at the Performancing community forum.

Six Apart today announced new solutions that will enable businesses to build powerful social media and blogging communities on top of Movable Type 4.
The Movable Type Enterprise Solution enables companies to integrate their blogging and social media efforts into their existing IT systems. Expanding on Movable Type 4’s built-in capability to create and manage thousands of blogs and users, the Enterprise Solution’s LDAP directory server integration and support for enterprise-class databases– including Oracle 10g and Microsoft SQL Server – make it easier than ever to deploy and manage employee and departmental blogs.
The Movable Type Community Solution makes it possible to create a custom social media platform that can attract larger audiences, increase audience engagement, and improve loyalty. Where Movable Type 4 on its own allows for registering and managing site members, the Community Solution incorporates rich member profiles, member blogs, “Digg-style” recommendation tools and other features that help new and returning visitors engage with the site and one another.
“Our customers have been using blogging as the cornerstone of their social media strategies because it is a compelling way to converse with readers, customers, and employees,” said Chris Alden, EVP and GM of the Professional division at Six Apart. “The Enterprise and Community Solutions bring new capabilities to the Movable Type 4 platform that will enable businesses to build even more engaging social sites for communication and collaboration.”
Types of Wealth

Are you wealthy?
The wikipedia on ‘wealth’ describes it as follows:
Wealth usually refers to money and property. It is the abundance of objects of value and also the state of having accumulated these objects. The use of the word itself assumes some socially-accepted means of identifying objects, land, or money as “belonging to” someone, i.e. a broadly accepted notion of property and a means of protection of that property that can be invoked with minimal (or, ideally, no) effort and expense on the part of the owner.
Let’s include the time, work and money factors into wealth. Assume that you can stay at home, not work, enjoy your leisure time, and still earn money for a month. Your amount of wealth is only for a month.
What if you could generate income while not working for an unlimited time span? Then you would be wealthy forever.
How do you achieve it?
Business experts indicate that you should make your money work for you. You need to become an investor. This means all your money should go to investments that require little or no attention. First you get seed capital and go for the following recommended investments:
1. Stock Market
2. Mutual Funds
3. Real Estate
For as long as $100, you can start playing around with the stock market. The latest tech advancements allow you to stay at home and monitor your portfolio online. Brokerage firms typically give lesson on technical stock analysis - which looks at the patterns on the trading charts and give brokers and idea when to buy and sell.
If you prefer to have another party manage various portfolios for you, you might opt for a mutual fund instead. Mutual funds pool money and can invest in a variety of securities, including fixed-income securities and money market instruments.
Real estate investments could provide you with rental income. For instance, you could start looking at foreclosed properties. When a promising property becomes available, buy and develop it. Find some tenants to lease to and you are on your way to some regular passive income.
The recommended process to wealth is to get an initial seed capital, then invest in stocks, mutual funds and real estate. Make sure you would be getting regular monthly income that should pay off your monthly expenses. There is always a level of risk. Be aware of it and prepare to accept that some investments will not pan out.
That’s the general theory. Start learning all this. Practically apply it to your life. Be on your way to unlimited wealth.
