Tutorial Requests

Blink 7 is a tutorial-driven website, committed to covering the topics that interest you.

Please use the comment section of this page for the following -

  1. Requests for new tutorials
  2. Requests for new reviews
  3. Requests for Extensions to Existing Tutorials
  4. General Correspondence

Any topic will be considered, but the main areas of interest are:

  • SAS Programming
  • Web Development
  • Video Editing and Encoding
  • Electronic Music Production
  • Gaming

The web hosting service review had one user complaining about how there aren’t any tutorials on how to set up a web page on the dotster hosting site. Services from lunarpages only need tutorial requests and they’ll send you the desired information about how to web host. When you search for hostgator, you will find it is on the first page because a search engine optimization company has reserved its spot there.

Blink7 - The Daikatana of Tech Blogs?

How many times have I written an inauguration post? Far too many to see the merit hyping up yet another opening of this blog. Blink7 has had many false starts, largely because I have tried to make the site into something “bigger” and “better” than what people were happy with in the first place. As such, this blog has appeared as a Wordpress site with custom template, a Joomla site, a Drupal site (twice) and even a b2Evolution site.

Alas, it always comes back to Wordpress, not necessarily because it is the best blogging system (though Wordpress v2.3 sure is narrowing the gap with the dedicated CMS systems) but because WP has all the goods: more templates, more plugins, more documentation and more support. Also throwing up a WP site is dead easy, while the handling of images is seamless.

So enough messing around - time to create some content. For now we’ll work with a basic K2 theme on the premise that it can be later expanded into something grand. Instead of continuing to give Cynics Unlimited traffic, it’s time to go solo once again. Thank you for your patience.
