Over the weekend I moved house, and I’m finally settlig in and getting everything out of boxes and into it’s new home. Moving is a painfully slow process, especially when it comes to getting all the services sorted, such as gas, electricity, phone, TV and so on. Unfortunatly the phone cannot be recconected for about a week, meaning I currently have no Internet at my new place…I am currently posting from University.

When I return online expect a few reviews of some sites, along with a tour of my new place, hopefully in video format, among other things. Keep leaving comments, sending emails and dropping your entrecard, as I am still checking things!

Sure there are plenty of of image hosting sites out there, but it can often be a pain to take a screen, upload it, get the link and so on. Especially say if your trying to explain something to someone quickly, visual cues sure can help.

GrabUp is a new application exclusively for the Mac which makes sharing screenshots a complete breeze. It’s as simple as taking the screenshot, waiting a second, then hitting Apple + V. No website involved, no clicks, no browser needed. It’s surprisingly fast, and hopefully stays that way over time.

If you want a really, really simple way to upload screenshots, then I can’t recommend GrabUp enough. Congratulations to Jon from j0n.org on such a neat time saving app.

It may have taken longer than it should, but ChrisBrandrick.com is finally running on the stable release of Wordpress 2.5. I mentioned in a previous post that the latest version of the popular blogging platform was on the way, and now, as you may have read on other blogs, it finally has arrived.

After having the new version installed for over a day now, I have familiarised myself with the new layout and although it is a very different it has several neat new features which overall make the back end experience all the more a pleasure to use. If you haven’t upgraded, be sure to do so now.

Yet again this post is a day late! Just like last month I will post this list every month as a thank you for those Entrecard users dropping on my blog, so if you want to see yourself in this list and gain a linkback, be sure to drop your entrecard on my blog often.

For those of you unfamiliar with entrecard be sure to read my post about it here. Anyway without further a due here is the list of those that dropped the most cards on my blog in March:

• Chalk is Cheap
• Yimto
• Technically Easy
• Toast & Egg & Me..
• Entrecard Store
• Timothy Adam Designs
• Lee Doyle
