Tomorrow, July 1 is the first Unofficial International WordPress Day and it’s about time, too. It’s basically a celebration of the existence of WordPress which is teh awesomifst!!

For those of you who have been interested in starting a blog but aren’t too sure of where to start, I have one (well two sorta) words for you: WordPress. Whether you’re looking for a hands-off approach (WordPress.com) or you’re tech-savy enough to host your own blog using your own domain name (WordPress.org), this is hands-down the best software out there in my opinion. And I’m not just saying this because by doing so, I am automatically entered to win a ton of great prizes.

I currently run about a dozen websites and all of them are powered by WordPress. It’s incredibly easy to use and it’s friggin’ FREE! That’s right, free. Plus, there is a group of heaven-bound developers working all the time to enhance the design, security and efficiency of the software. It seems like every time I turn around, there’s a new update to install and with each one, it just keeps getting better.

If this post seems rushed, that’s only because I know that most of you guys aren’t interested in all the technical jargon that I would normally be spouting off about software, standards and the web in general.

As always, feel free to contact me if you need any help getting your blog started. As most of you know, I’m a little obsessed and therefore, extremely willing to help.

Our new CD, Dirty Lowdown Adventure which came out a few weeks ago on Max Recordings is now available for purchase on iTunes.

If you’re interested in picking it up on iTunes, I would suggest just buying the entire album for $9.99 because it’s 21 songs long and at 99 cents each you couldn’t even get half the songs for that.

We worked on it for over 2 years so we’re pretty excited for it to finally see the light of day.

Click on this sentence to check it out on iTunes now or just search fo “The Good Fear” once you’re there.

For what it’s worth and if anyone’s interested, I’ve come across some good music lately.

I’ve gathered a few songs and created a mix using Muxtape (which rules, by the way) and you can have yourself a listen over at crasymaker.muxtape.com.

Some of this stuff is new and some is a year or two old. Most notably, I’ve been really into Bowerbirds, Matt Mays & El Torpedo and Sam Roberts. The other stuff is great, too.

Grab your headphones or turn up the volume and give it a listen. Enjoy.
