The Press Release Is Dead — Use This Format To Pitch Instead

Off Topic

"I’m UTTERLY SICK and TIRED of dealing with MILLIONS of tech entrepreneurs and (some) PR people who have ZERO clue how to pitch me/TechCrunch/the media. Their pitches are long-winded and rambling. They ask if they could ‘send some more information’, as if I care. I have no idea if it’s interesting or not until you send it! Many just ask me out to lunch or coffee. (Thanks, but I prefer drinks, and I also prefer drinks with my *actual friends* — fine if you have somehow become someone I like to drink with!). You see, if I took all these offers up I’d never have to pay for food or coffee again. But I’d also never get any work done.

Thanks! Having the ability to access all the modules for 1 site would be perfect for me right now. Jumping in at $50 a month, for me right now, is a little expensive.

I wanted to ask for a new subscription option. Basically, at this point I want to work on one site and have the ability to use all the modules. Could there be another option between VIP Premium and VIP Unlimited - an option to have access to all the modules for one site instead of unlimited sites? Or maybe the VIP Premium option could allow access to all the modules for 1 site so I can develop using all the modules?

Yea, Arstechnica came out with this article on Windows 10. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/the-windows-10-free-upgrade-for-pirates-more-confusing-than-it-seems/

I thought the headlines were funny. I wish Microsoft would get out of the browser business.

I found this article very informative. I'm thinking about adding some sort of non-logged email subscribed input so that even if a visitor doesn't signup, I can still get an email address "second chance".

I was looking to activate the GUI interface - if that's the correct term.

Right now I'm seeing this

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I'll start working on what I need for my site.

Thanks, I was just curious. I was using CKEditor on another site and yea, it was a real pain to customize.

Is there somewhere I can activate the GUI editor? For this post I'm making it's a box where I can manually add BBCode if I choose. Was there an ability to use the graphic interface on a JR site?

Thanks!
