V1 was good for a laugh — thanks for being brave enough to share!

Really love your V8s. Very modern, clean, and a calm entry into the site.

Also loved V10. Stands out from the crowd.

Current site also very nice.

Just an FYI. I was in the same predicament and ended up getting a Google Voice account. It’s free and receives text messages.

Good, straight forward article – we sometimes need to be reminded of the simple stuff when bogged down in a project or overwhelmed with information. Thank you Selene.

P.s. The site design looks good to me. Nice subtle texture to the background. How’s it done?

I have a similar problem. My fb account needs mobile verification to be reactivated (they blocked me for some reason… It’s just an account I use for games, but still)
But being the careful person that I am, I don’t trust facebook enough to give them something like my phone number.
Especially because they’re known to sell peoples personal info to 3rd parties.
So I’m scowering the web for a work-around -.-

Mark, have you found the solution of this problem? I can’t receive SMS from FB too. My account is blocked.

I found your post while searching for a fix for what seems to be data-mining by FB. I have a real problem with ‘everything’ I do, including any fan-page i set up being tied back to my main account. Google+ may be on to something by allowing you to separate your friends and relatives into smaller, more manageable groups. I refuse to give facebook my phone number, let alone my cellphone, my lifeline that i rely on daily. my account is locked because i will not give them my SMS number for verification. By the way, facebook does not have ANY customer support in which to deal with this.

Sorry to vent here but I am so pi$$ed off right now. Why should I have to go out any purchase another phone just to use facebook???

Time is really important and managing time effectively seems more important for me. I appreciate the tips especially the part of being realistic and meeting extending deadlines. I have a tendency to cram but I guess I have to learn to budget my time and priority.

Although I am not a designer, I could be able to use their advice in managing my work priorities. Maybe I should look for kindergarten planner so that I could be able to organize my working load. I am going to check their Twitter too so that I could learn more things from them. Thanks for the interesting article.

The only distraction for me while working is the social networking sites. It is because I checked it and used it in promoting something so it wasn’t a big hindrance. Maybe I should learn how to prioritize more and budget my time. But I have to admit that disconnecting could save a lot of time. Thanks for the tips in increasing productivity.

WordPress is definitely a good platform to use for blogging. I didn’t know that there are so much it could offer like the sidebar, footer, etc. All I know is how useful widgets and how wonderful other wordpress themes could be. Thanks for the insights about wordpress as cms.
