My name is Phil Newton, and this is my website about personal development, productivity and other self improvement based topics.

When I'm not writing articles for this blog, I'm creating software for my shareware business. I also blog about programming and game development, and write articles for software developers (although I'm sure they're useful to other people too).

For those who are curious, this site runs WordPress 2.0, with the following plugins installed:

• Akismet - Does an excellent job of blocking comment spam.
• Author Highlight - Makes comments from me look different.
• Exec-PHP - Lets you run PHP code within posts. I use this in conjunction with the smart archives plugin.
• Related Posts - Lists related posts at the bottom of articles.
• Smart Archives - Used for the archives page.
• WP-ContactForm - Used for the contact page.
