6 ways to work better with your boss

A  smooth working relationship with the boss can have a telling impact on your overall job satisfaction and morale. We've all worked for the do-nothing supervisor who shoots down every attempt at independence from any of his subordinates. In such instances, you must strive to balance pleasing your boss and driving results. Here are some pointers on how to build a better working relationship with your boss.

Of course, but when you do that, you're stuck with your default posting format and styling.  What if you want to have a Thumbnail for your post,  but instead of the thumbnail appearing inside of the post entry, you only want that thumbnail to appear on the front page of your blog – and using a completely different style than it would in your entry ? This is where ...
