Yes it is in Spanish… but I am learning Spanish and I need to learn some happy, romantic stuff as opposed to the stuff that will put me in jail. For some reason, my Spanish-speaking friends think it is funny to only teach me bad words and pickup lines. (It won’t be so funny when I repeat them to their parents I’m sure.)
I listen to this song when I walk around the university to and from classes and work. It’s a pretty cool beat to walk to and most people think I’m drugged as I walk around with a stupid grin on my face most of the time. Enjoy.
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?
Tweet tweet! Follow me on Twitter.

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?
