Hey Twitter, where do my @replies go?
During the past couple of months I've now and then noticed some of the @replies and @mentions I've received don't show up on my Twitter account. I know they exist, cause I've seen them on the "sender's" feed. I just don't know about them until I go and check the feed. For instance yesterday I had received this reply. Didn't know about it until I went to see their feed. It's not listed amongst my @ interactions. I do get spam replies though. By the way, if you do get spam on Twitter (like everyone else does), remember to always report and block the spammer. If you don't know how, just ask...

Of making tea
A common misconception is the tea should be made in boiling water. If the water is too hot it will make the tea bitter. Tea possesses flavonoids and antioxidants, to mention some of it's health benefits, and heat can destroy some of it's good qualities. Green and white teas also start to taste really grassy, if made in too hot water. Different tea types are made in different temperatures. Black tea usually can take the highest temperature, about 80 to 95 °C (176 to 203 °F). Green and white tea should be made in 70 to 80 °C (158 to 176 °F). The steeping time varies mostly from 1 to 15 minutes...
Hempseed rolls
6 dl flour* 1 1/2 to 2 dl soy flour 4 to 5 dl water 1/2 dl rapeseed oil 11 g dry yeast or about 30 g yeast hempseeds (at least a fistful) Warm the water to about 40 °C. Combine the water and the yeast. Add hempseeds. Gradually add flours and soy flours to the water-yeast-mix. If the mix feels too dry, add a little more water. When the dough starts to seem like dough (you know, something you could mold into things) add the rapeseed oil. Make sure the dough doesn't get too wet nor too dry. Leave it to rise for 30 minutes. Take a shower, tweet, make an ass of yourself on Facebook or have...
How web design should be seen
I have come to a conclusion on how web design should be seen. As an entity. Of course there are lots of different smaller and bigger details in the design, but simply put there are three main issues. The following list includes these main issues in their order of importance. The order of a design process may be somewhat different. 1. Content Content is of course the main thing on a website. Without content the website doesn't exist. Well, it can exist, but it's pretty much blank. Therefore content should be the priority. The site is build around the content, not the other way around. 2...
Social Media Tip 13: Set goals, create tasks
In time to time it's easy to sink into thinking what the heck is the point of all this. Why am I sharing where I am or what I'm doing, and why am I writing these blog posts. Does anyone even care about my tweets or what I liked? It's frustrating. The frustration may lead to long and unnecessary hiatuses or even quitting. Setting goals and creating simple tasks is one way out of this situation. Think about what you want to accomplish. A new job, perhaps. Getting noticed. Making sure everyone else will learn about this-and-that-very-important-issue. Selling something, gaining more customer...
Social Media Tip 12: Refresh
When was the last time you blogged? Or when did you tweet something you were really proud about? How's your Facebook page doing? What's going on with your any other social media accounts? At some point you may hit the wall at one or all parts of your online life. If you start to feel bored of your own content do what I'm currently doing: Freshen it up. Do a complete or a partial makeover for your social media identity. Rebranding is quite okay. It is most likely lots of work and maybe even a bit dangerous. However if the your brand is not doing extremely great and if it feels dull to yours...
