<p>There seems to be no limit to the amount of tools for bloggers but <strong><em>Jetpack</em></strong> brings a lot of those tools together into one neat &amp; powerful package.</p>
<h2>What is Jetpack?</h2>
<p><span class="thumbnail-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2Fjetpack.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1369092905366',272,420);"><img src="http://teksocial.com/storage/thumbnails/2618311-22732426-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1369092905368" alt="" /></a></span></span>Jetpack is the plugin for self hosted WordPress sites to give those users the same awesome features that users of WordPress.com get with their sites - like social sharing, powerful stats and CDN access. It's maintained by Automattic, the company behind <em>WordPress.com</em>, <em>Akismet</em>,&nbsp;<em>Gravitar</em> and <em>Polldaddy</em>. Automattic serve more people per day that many other sites, they do that by trying to make the web better.</p>
<p>The best thing about Jetpack is that it's <strong>cloud enabled</strong> - it offloads the hard work from your own server to WordPress' super fast could network so you get everything that a self hosted WordPress site has but with all the power of WordPress.com's servers. The list of features keeps growing and as of writing currently Jetpack has 25 individual modules.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://teksocial.com/socialblog/rss-comments-entry-33735804.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>MouseX for Mac - Mouse Tracker Review</title><category>Mouse</category><category>TekSocial Youtube</category><category>free apps</category><category>mac application</category><category>mac apps</category><dc:creator>AnnS</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 13:49:45 +0000</pubDate><link>http://teksocial.com/socialblog/2013/5/20/mousex-for-mac-mouse-tracker-review.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">260236:3167054:33733787</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Not all apps are meant to serve a big purpose.

<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://teksocial.com/storage/fb.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1368761120124" alt="" /></span></span>The kinds of adverts you see on Youtube and Facebook are very different. On Youtube you get some banners, overlay adverts and video adverts. The video adverts are short videos played before content, I often find they are actually the same adverts I see on TV! The overlay adverts pop-up a little way into the video, can either be text or banner and obscure the video. That's exactly the kind of advert, one that&nbsp;obscures&nbsp;the content, that is explicitly forbidden in the&nbsp;<a title="Acceptable Ads" href="http://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads#criteria" target="_blank">Adblock Plus acceptable ads policy</a>. Luckily all 3 of the ad types on Youtube get blocked by default with APB.</p>
<p>Facebook Adverts are something altogether different, they have 7 standard formats and many more&nbsp;supplemental&nbsp;formats. Blocking all of those is a bit more complicated, luckily Adblock and their awesome community have you covered.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://teksocial.com/socialblog/rss-comments-entry-33724263.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Cheatsheet for Mac: Shortcut Manager</title><category>TekSocial Youtube</category><category>app store</category><category>keyboard</category><category>mac application</category><dc:creator>AnnS</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2013 13:19:20 +0000</pubDate><link>http://teksocial.com/socialblog/2013/5/16/cheatsheet-for-mac-shortcut-manager.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">260236:3167054:33721448</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Do you hate having a bookmarked PDF or notepad with all of your app  cheatsheets? I used to have a Google Docs spreadsheet that was just full  of them, but it became increasingly difficult to sift through and find  what I was looking for. By that point, I might as well have not used the  shortcuts at all.</p>
<p>That is why I love that I found Cheatsheet, an app that actually  handles all of those shortcuts for you. It runs in the background, and  any time you want to check the cheatsheet for any app you are using, you  bring up a page of the shortcuts. That's it...super easy to use, and  full of useful key combinations you didn't even know existed.</p>

<p>We all want to be healthy, and we all know how to achieve that:  proper diet and regular physical activity. But we don't all like hitting  the gym, which can be boring and even uncomfortable. As a woman, I feel  especially self conscious at my local gym that is dominated by weight  lifting males. Instead, I choose outdoor activities like running, hiking  and biking.</p>
<p>I was originally using an overall health tracker for this, but found that it wasn't quite right for me. Then I found RunKeeper.</p>

<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 200px;" src="http://teksocial.com/storage/adblockerplus_logo.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1368545537316" alt="" /></span></span>There&rsquo;s no denying that the whole internet is plastered with adverts, many of them are either annoying,&nbsp;intrusive&nbsp;or both. That&rsquo;s the kind of&nbsp;advertising&nbsp;that you&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;don&rsquo;t want to be subjected to. And it&rsquo;s exactly the kind of adverts that&nbsp;<strong>Adblock Plus</strong>&nbsp;wants to get rid of.</p>
<p>Many of the ads online are banner adverts, some of them are out of the way but most of them are placed above the fold or within the flow of content.&nbsp;Because&nbsp;of that we&rsquo;ve become so used to seeing them with the rest of the content that we often look past them as if they weren&rsquo;t even there. It&rsquo;s called&nbsp;<strong>banner blindness</strong>&nbsp;and it&rsquo;s one of the reasons that adverts keep getting more and more intrusive.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s so easy to set up adblocking in your browser all you need to do is install and activate the awesome&nbsp;<a title="ABP" href="http://adblockplus.org/" target="_blank">Adblock Plus</a>&nbsp;plugin.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://teksocial.com/socialblog/rss-comments-entry-33712908.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Injustice: Gods Among Us - iPhone Game Review</title><category>App Review</category><category>Games</category><category>Super</category><category>TekSocial Youtube</category><category>iphone game</category><dc:creator>AnnS</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2013 13:20:03 +0000</pubDate><link>http://teksocial.com/socialblog/2013/5/13/injustice-gods-among-us-iphone-game-review.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">260236:3167054:33691651</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/new%20illustrations/injustice-gods-among-us-review-01_zps75a7d80f.png" alt="Injustice: Gods Among Us" /></p>
<p>I have always loved DC comics, cartoons, TV shows and video games.  Anything having to do with <a href="http://teksocial.com/socialblog/2011/8/10/the-dark-knight-rises-whats-happening.html">Batman</a> is especially beloved, and from the  time I was a kid I was obsessed with the villains. Joker, Scarecrow,  Harley Quinn. Poison Ivy...they are just a few of my personal favorites.  So it is no wonder I love Injustice: Gods Among Us.</p>
