Music pioneer and “America’s Oldest Teenager” Dick Clark, has died today of a heart attack. He was 82.

Although most known for his annual New Year’s Rockin’ Eve telecast, Clark’s American Bandstand  laid the blueprint for shows like Soul Train. A rock-n-roll staple, the show also provided a platform for hip-hop artists. Check out his interviews with LL Cool J and Run-DMC. So long, Mr. Clark

  21. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .
    net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of
    the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and
    am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.
    net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress
    content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
