Rss by Email?

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Sorry for the Delay in postings but I have a couple of big projects come in that have eaten up a lot of my time along with my new found addiction to WOW(another post).

This latest project i’m working on was looking to communicate with users of the website in as many ways as possible so I have gone ahead and hooked them up with Feed Burner via Google. Which will allow users to sign up to receive daily/weekly updates via email from the RSS feed from the website, this will make it so people don’t have to have a  feed reader or worry about checking the website daily. They can get to in their leisure via email and check out the specific information that is relevant to their interests.

I think it’s great as it’s not like a newsletter where someone is piling in everything from a month long activity it’s just quick little announcements from the rss to let you know what’s new.

Also for website owners it gives you all the stats and information to let you know if it’s being used so you can determine if it’s worthwile to keep running on your website.

Quality Stock Photo’s – Stock Expert

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

There is always times when designer’s of all walks require stock photo’s to finish up their magazine ad, or to find the perfect fit for the latest website project. I have used all kinds of different services but for the last year I have mainly used Stock Expert.

The Images are Royalty free so after you pay the fee you are able to use it without continued payment or conern of number of times it’s been re-produced for your ad campaign etc. The images are excellent quality and I have to say the community is great.

A quick search and you will be bound to find just the right imagery your project requires. I will note though that Istock is another great one but usually I find Stock Expert is more affordable.
