What is a Pseudorant?
A rant by definition is:
“a speech or text that does not present a well-researched and calm argument; rather, it is typically an attack on an idea, a person or an institution, and very often lacks proven claims.”
Ok so what is a “Pseudorant”? By the definition above a pseudo rant would be a rant that is “not genuine” or “false”.
This is very true to the original purpose of Pseudorant. This site was designed to share information that I found interesting with people. Being my first blog I was not sure of the direction I wanted to take the site in, so I tried many different approaches and angles.
I felt a lot of pressure to write a certain way, and to cover certain topics. This expectation was self defeating to the original purpose of Pseudorant.
While I do enjoy writing tech guides, it is the not the main focus I would like for the site. I would rather share all the interesting aspects of the internet and web culture I come across on a daily basis.
The internet is so massive and evolves so quickly that there is always something interesting happening that others should know about. With this being said I am going to actively pursue a slight shift in the focus of the site.
I will still continue to publish tech guides periodically about various topics I come across but I want to share more with people than just how to troubleshoot. I think that a lot of the subjects I will be presenting will appeal to the same audience that has read the blog for the past few months, and I look forward to any feedback or suggestions people have to offer.
I hope you look forward to the new content I will be posting, and keep checking back for all the latest happenings online in the tech world.

EntreCard is Back Online after Fire at Hosting
EntreCard is backup and running after a fire at their hosting.
For those who use EntreCard you probably noticed that is was down from Saturday afternoon until Monday morning.
The message on their site informed people that a fire had broke out at their hosting company causing the company to shut down in order to address an issue of faulty power transformers.
As of today EntreCard is back up and running so you can all get back to dropping your cards. I have just recently started reading some articles about Power Dropping and was looking into some good ways of doing this when their server went down on Saturday.
I will have to get back to work on that tonight. If you are a member of EntreCard please feel free to drop us your card or advertise on the site.
Just a short post today, as I need to get back to work on a client’s website. Thanks for checking out Pseudorant. We appreciate the support.
New WordPress Theme & Logos – Revolution Hacked
New Logos Compliments of Aaron Gilmore
As many of you have probably noticed, Pseudorant has under gone a major change. That’s right! We have a new theme. The theme we are using is a modified version of the “Revolution” theme by Brian Gardner.
After collaboration between me and Joe we decided this theme would best suit the needs of the site in the coming months. We have been planning a lot of major upgrades and additions to the site so we are trying to get a good infrastructure in place ahead of time.
Areas to note in the new theme are the RSS Subscription Icon and FeedBurner Widget which Joe incorporated into the sidebar menu. The addition of 125px sponsor slots and EntreCard widgets. A Top Posts Widget which is currently under going some repairs, and much more!
For those who have been to the site in the past 20 hours you have probably noticed things breaking and being fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience. The bug search is ongoing and just when we have one thing fixed we come across something else that needs to be reworked. If you come across anything on the site that seems broken please let us know. (Email – Paul | Joe)
NEW LOGOS!
The biggest point of interest on the site is our new custom-made Logos! Pseudorant’s new Logos were designed by Aaron Gilmore.
He has an extensive background in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, traditional illustration techniques and classic art styles.
He accepts commissions for all of his work, and quotes very affordable prices so anyone can afford to have their site look better than the competition!
If you are looking for an amazing artist that you can afford to work with, I would highly recommend contacting Aaron for any of your project needs.
For more information check out Aaron’s website at:
As always thanks for checking out Pseudorant! We appreciate the support. Please bear with us through the new transition and you will be happy with the future updates we will be bringing you!
Pseudorant on FeedBurner! - Help us Burn our RSS Feed!
Blog now on Feed Burner, Please Subscribe to our RSS Feed!
Hey everyone! You have probably noticed the new Feed Burner icon on the site. Ya I know, it has a purple background in the widget space. As someone with the OCD this is all I have been able to think about for the past 20 hours.
Joe who is more of a wiz with stylesheets and widgets than I am, has already instructed me on how to fix it but being the creative individual that I am, I implemented the code in a ”unique” way so I am waiting to hear back from him on the new fix.
But other than that, Pseudorant is now signed up on Feed Burner so please subscribe to our RSS feed. We still want you to visit the site because that’s the best way to truly immerse yourself in the bulk of our rants, but when you can’t make it to the site then settle for the next best thing… RSS!
We are currently at 12 subscribers on our RSS feed, but we are hoping for a lot more.
We will be hosting a small contest for all the readers that once we hit 250 subscribers we will post several sets of custom made icons, available for people to use in their blogs.
I am very obsessed with “Glass” buttons and will be making a bunch for our new theme that we will be implementing soon. (But I can’t talk about that now.)
I will be making many extras that we will be hosting for our readers to download, once we have hit our goal of 250 subscribers! So tell your friends and get them to subscribe!
