Ever heard one blogging engine like this? It’s quietely new and few people have use it. The name itself is taken from swahili greeting which means What’s the news?. I haven’t try this one because when I try to install it on my localhost it doesn’t works, it said need php_pdo_mysql.dll extension to be activated (although I’ve already have it activated).

Check out their website and see complete details. Below is some features excerpted from the website:

* Modular, object-oriented core for easy extensibility
* Supports multiple database backends (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL)
* Uses prepared statements throughout to protect against SQL injection attacks
* Media silos to directly access various ways of media storage, like Flickr, Viddler, or the server’s
filesystem
* Atom Publishing Protocol support
* Multiple users (authors)
* Multiple sites on one installation
* Support for static content (“pages”)
* Plugins
* Tagging
* Importers for Serendipity and WordPress

Nothing to say, just take a look :

When it comes to graphics, most Internet marketers shy away from using graphic templates whether it’s ebook covers, website layouts or promotional banners because they firmly believe that by using graphic templates, they are tarnishing their own business. They want to own a unique identity and hence will always find a professional graphic designer to do the job. Well, you’re in for a big surprise!

When you purchase a graphic template, you will be able to customize it to an extent or even build a totally new design based on it! What’s the point of using the template then, you say? Well, it serves as a source of inspiration and ideas for a totally new design. You can’t derive anything from a blank canvas, right?

On top of that, you are actually saving a lot of precious time that you can otherwise spend on more important matters like developing new products or market your products. When you buy a pre-made template, you only need to edit a thing or two to give it an identity of your own, and that gives you more time and flexibility to work on other stuff.

Okay, let’s say you argue that hiring a designer to do the job is equally fast. That may be true but don’t forget, hiring a professional designer to do a custom design for you will cost you a lot of money. Unless you need a totally unique identity that you are aiming to establish firmly in your niche market, you don’t need to get a designer to design it for you.

Not all graphic templates are suitable, so you have to be careful when choosing one. Consider quality over the price, and you’re on your way to creating a positive image for your business while saving more time for more productive chores!
