We found a great domain, LikethatIdea.com, but we never spent time promoting the site. So we’re putting the domain up for auction.

Our asking price is for a low $350 but we’re open to what you may have to offer. Minimum bidding price is $100. You can check out the details via GoDaddy Auctions:

We’ve transferred LikethatIdea.com to a new server. Yes, I know…we haven’t been very active on this blog.  But perhaps we’ll have to take a look at what to do for this site.  Stay tuned…

Like that Idea just upgraded to Wordpress 2.8. If you’re curious of what new features this version of Wordpress brings, check the video out.

CNN has good article today titled, “When toys were magical without being pricey“.  It is a reminder that sometimes the gifts with the most value are not always the most expensive gifts.  The writer reminds us of why we are so fond of childhood memories.

Be it a board game, marbles, a jump-rope or a pack of crayons, none of them cost more than $10. But if you think about it, I bet you remember the names of the kids with whom you played. I bet you remember a particularly intense game of Scrabble.

I remember that the joy wasn’t from the toy. It came from playing with people who loved me, like my mom, sister and grandma.

I’m not putting down the blinking, electronic $450 gizmos. I’m not saying your child won’t remember their hefty, creaky grandma playing Wii tennis with them three decades from now.

But try this. Go on and get Junior that pricey thing he just has to have. Then think about a great game from your childhood that didn’t cost as much as a monthly car payment. Throw in a jump-rope too, or a paddle ball.

Yes, this is another Wordpress post.  We’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.7.  Check out the new features in this video.

With Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barak Obama, I’m sure depending which presidential candidate the support, people will either be putting him on a pedestal that is higher than he deserves or smearing his good name.  I’ve always admired Powell and would remind others that is truly one of America’s greatest heroes.

Per a Fox news reply, HERE IS A LIST OF GENERAL POWELL’S MILITARY DECORATIONS:

Defense Distinguished Service Medal (with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters) Distinguished Service Medal, Army (with Oak Leaf Cluster) Defense Superior Service Medal Legion of Merit (with Oak Leaf Cluster) Soldier’s Medal Bronze Star Purple Heart Air Medal Joint Service Commendation Medal Army Commendation Medal (with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters) Presidential Medal of Freedom (order of precedence, if worn) Presidential Citizens Medal (order of precedence, if worn) Bronze service star National Defense Service Medal (with 1 Bronze Service Star) Silver service star Vietnam Service Medal (with 1 Silver Service Star) Army Service Ribbon Army Overseas Service Ribbon (with numeral 3)

My favorite quote from Colin Powell:

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.  Excellence is not an exception; it is a prevailing attitude.

Wordpress 2.6 a href=http://wordpress.org/development/2008/07/wordpress-26-tyner/was released/a a few weeks ago.  Better late than never, but I finally got around to upgrading this site with this latest version of Wordpress.

During the time I have covered Wordpress a href=http://likethatidea.com/tag/wordpress/here/a and at a href=http://cmsreport.com/wordpressCMS Report/a, I have always considered Wordpress more as blogging application and not really a full featured content management system.  However, ever since I installed a href=http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-brecker/Wordpress 2.5/a on one of my sites, I can’t help but think that Wordpress now rocks as a content management system.

If you haven’t looked at Wordpress in the past year or so, I recommend that you do yourself a favor and a href=http://wordpress.org/download/take a look/anoscripta href=http://www.sibresource.ru/#1083;#1072;#1085;#1076;#1096;#1072;#1092;#1090;/a/noscript at what you may be missing out.

Below is a brief video tour of 2.6 prepared by Matt and company.
