Moments ago, Turkish broadcaster TRT confirmed on its website what fans were speculating about already for days: Hadise Açıkgöz will represent the nation at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. Being music lovers, the Substance01 team decided to help creating a new profile for Hadise’s Fan Club on Myspace. The 23-year old singer is well-known in Belgium, where she was born, as singer, songwriter and since recently even as television presenter. With this choice, Turkish television picked an experienced entertainer to represent the country on stage in Moscow. TRT officials assured the young singer significant influence in the choice of the song and the act. It is unknown yet if her song for Moscow will be chosen entirely internally, or if the public will be involved in some way.  

If you are looking for a publishing tool that lets you concentrate on ideas instead worrying about the mechanics of production, WordPress may be just the thing for you. After using a few other open source content management systems, Substance01 upgreaded to a custom build CMS that we enjoyed every minute of using it, but there are reasons why today Substance01 goes WordPress: Open Source Software, User Friendly, Standards Compliant, SEO Friendly, Large community Support and Themes Support. Thinks like a writer To the extent that a content management system can, WordPress thinks like a writer. The workflow is intuitive enough not to trip us up when we are halfway into an idea. It stays out of our way, giving us only the tools we need, and only when we need them. In WordPress, it’s easy to create and edit categories, easy to write themelines for all my categories at once, and even easy to tell when we are writing too many words for the page — because WordPress also thinks like a designer. Thinks like a designer Even though this is the web and not print, we as designers still care how the type is going to sit in the page. Over 90% of web users never change the default font size. WordPress’s live preview, continuously updated as we write and save, showing us what most readers will see, and lets us revise for better copyfit with one tenth the effortwe used to make. Even if you’re not a copyfitting freak, there’s something about previewing your writing in your layout that’s better than seeing it in someone else’s. There are other great web writing tools out there, but this is the first I know of that lets me see my site as I’m writing. It helps layout, it helps tone, it helps everything. Respects web and typographic standards You can write in XHTML, knowing the CMS won’t mess it up. Or you can write in text, knowing it will get converted to standards-compliant XHTML, complete with typographically correct punctuation. Some other high-end blogging software does this, too, but you have to install plug-ins to make it work. WordPress does it out of the box.
