Social media is on fire right now!!

First you may ask yourself…What is social media? Here is a brief description from Wikipedia:

Social media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media use web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social media dialogues. They support the democratization of knowledge and information and transform people from content consumers to content producers.

Bloggers beware!!

July 8th, 2010

So recently I was setting up a blog for a customer and I was looking for a good theme that was free, because I was going to modify the layout of the theme with color and graphics to best fit the customer.

The only thing that I ran into that I would caution everyone is the theme was hijacked. Here is how you can tell if the theme is hijacked:

1. Download and install the theme into your press blog.
