Almost everyone online is on one or more of the social networking sites out there. If someone says he does not know what Facebook is, the only reason for that would be because he has been living in a cave since the last few years . Unlike this caveman, I have profiles on many of these social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Youtube, etc. So, I was looking for an easy way to connect my blog with these social media, and I found this great WordPress plugin – Social Media Widget.

It took me just a few minutes to install the plugin and set it up to show the icons and links to my profile on the various social networks. The icons are available in different styles and sizes. Even though most of the social media sites are supported in the plugin, you can also add a few custom URL of your own. You can see it in action on my sidebar, it looks something like this:

Go check it out on the WordPress Plugin Directory for a full list of features.

After about 1.5 years of being my own boss, I finally signed a contract for a job as a Software Developer yesterday. It was about time! . At first, I badly wanted to be self-employed and it worked fine for me, but it’s not something I can do for long term.

Working from home was great at first, but after a while I started getting bored sitting at home all day, and working at hours that most people would normally relax or sleep. Gradually, I was losing the motivation to work, especially because I was doing the same things over and over again for each project.

But now, I’m already beginning to feel like I’m alive again . And I’m gonna be programming again, so that’s great. It’s time for me to explore some new horizons, learn some new skills, master my own skills, and above all, to stop sitting on my ass all day at home in front of this screen!!
