Kym in Real Life 3: The Day WordCast Hell Froze Over
Things I Freakin’ Love: Free Twitter Graphics for WordPress
In the ongoing battle-to-the-death between myself, Dave Moyer and Beth Skinner as to who can elicit the most Twitter followers on the amazing Twitter platform, I stumbled upon a great free Twitter resource this morning, whilst in bed, that gives you free Twitter-related graphics that will encourage your WordPress readers to subscribe to your Twitter feed. (Alright, Beth Skinner linked me to it.)
On offer at two sets of follow-me-on-Twitter graphics in both *.png and transparent *.gif forms. If you’re a WordPress connoisseur in need of a dose of cute and quirky, move your mouse cursor over to the free graphics available.
Another way I’ve advertised my nonsensical Twitter-related activities is through using Richard K Miller’s WordPress plugin, What Would Seth Godin Do. This plugin allows you to display HTML code of lines of text which you specify at the top or bottom of each of your blog posts; there are clearly options out there and you are only limited by your imagination Internet! So how do you promote yourself on Twitter?

Things I Freakin’ Love: WordPress
It was with curiosity that I ventured into the WordPress community many months ago to see what the hype was all about. Sure, I understood where the community springs from and what keeps it strong; WordPress is free software that now powers an alarmingly large number of websites. It is a behemoth that shows no sign of slowing down, supported by a rich, thriving community of designers and plugin programmers who volunteer their invaluable time to create extensions to the core functionality of WordPress for kudos and software that is already free. But what is it about this community that elicits such impassioned responses from its users, who swear undying allegiance to both the WordPress software and the community surrounding it?

The Day WordCast Hell Freezes Over
Good evening Internet! It finally happened! WordCast hell finally froze over and gave me free reign over the the content and production of WordCast episode 9. And by hell freezing over I mean my lovely co-hosts Dave Moyer and Beth Skinner not being available for hosting the episode at the last minute, and myself having free reign over this episode as me having free reign over this episode. So there you have it, me in front of a microphone with lots of hours to spare babbling nonsensical things about the latest and greatest in all that is WordPress; After all 9 out of 10 nutritionists recommend that kids use WordPress. (Helps with the indigestion.)
So tell me, do you think I took advantage of the free air time I had? Of course I did! Not only did I enjoy listening to myself talk for nearly 20 minutes (not having two other hosts to banter with really makes the episodes short) but I had the pleasure of my family thinking I was crazy for talking to myself non-stop for 20 minutes. I did get very thirsty however.
Hope you’re all having a lovely time out there Internet and episode 9 of WordCast will be released on Tuesday.
