Blog – Thoughts
https://thoughtsbypc.com/category/blog-2
Blogging about life’s this and that. Ne of the most challenging questions I have received from a newbie of an Instagram group that I ran was. I want to take good pictures. Can you show me what to do? Now I am an iPhone only happy-snapper so I was quite flattered that this person even asked. What about I write a post about it and share it with you. This is not a technical article on photography. As I said I am an iPhone guy. And it goes without saying that I don’t do client work and I also don’t take phot...

Designs – Thoughts
https://thoughtsbypc.com/category/blog-2/designs
Admiring ‘them designs’. Making a better Lorem Ipsum. We are fans of Lorem Ipsum here at Collective Network. Fans like most of the people that use it. It is a great way to add some copy to quickly visualise a design during its initial stages. The problem with Lorem Ipsum is that its value diminishes after those initial iterations when both client and designer have refined their work. What is actually required after this point is a better Lorem Ipsum. Continue reading →. April 15, 2016. April 15, 2016.

I have shared 2 photos recently on both Instagram and Flickr and I have noticed more engagement in Instagram. While this result should not be surprising, what is somewhat been a bit of a revelation for me has been the power of. I’ve had my Instagram account for a few months now, having resisted opening one as I already had Flickr, without a lot of success of driving any activity (not that I was trying too hard). Most of my shares were a straight. Photo with 3-word description. June 18, 2015. Email (Addre...

The WordPress Author – Thoughts
https://thoughtsbypc.com/2015/08/09/the-wordpress-author
I have a few WordPress posts as part of this site, but this is my first venture into documenting how WordPress works from the perspective of an author. I started creating this document to help out a few people who either will be using WordPress for the first time as an author or will once again try to use WordPress to write (after finding it complex in the past). Communicate the message well. The full document is available for everyone here: The WordPress Author. It’s not perfect, I am sure I can i...

The last Job Market Demand came out in Super Easter. That was quite a while ago now, and it’s high time we have a quick glance at what the market is doing. Has it picked up, or has it plummeted even further into the abyss? Unlike other JMD posts. I’ll keep this one as short and succinct as I can. Continue reading →. August 24, 2014. September 17, 2014.

Notes / Articles – Thoughts
https://thoughtsbypc.com/category/notes-articles
Some notes and some article posts over time. Lessons when you don’t breakeven. This post is a sequel to Old Fashion Viral. If that post is too long, here’s a 1-line summary: Our collective group organised a day event to sell our designs and spread the word about our group. Now the market day flew by and it was a failure. There’s no need to beat around the bush, when you don’t break even, then you just lost money. So it’s time to lick our wounds and throw down a few hard lessons learned. July 5, 2016.
