Great post on how companies are going to spend internet dollars in 2010.
I've written about Zenfolio before (Zenfolio Photo Website Discount), so I won't go into all that it offers - just my new discovery! One of the resources they offer is the ability to easily create an "Embeddable Slideshow". You get many options including:
After you've made your selections, you just click on the "Create Slideshow" button and it automatically generates the html code to copy and paste into your website - - or here at Activerain in a blog post (like this one) - - or in your Activerain Profile.
I know that there are many other ways to create these automatic slideshows - I've seen many of them right here at Activerain. I just wanted to show you another nice feature offered by Zenfolio. One bonus is it automatically links back to your gallery on Zenfolio.
Today was very lazy for me. Work was alright, then I mostly played games after getting home (COD: MW2 and Uncharted 2, in case you were wondering.) and started thinking about this whole lifestreaming thing. So, I've decided I'm going to try out Tumblr. It seems like a good way to share stuff I think is cool, as well as bringing together all my social media profiles, including Twitter and Last.FM.
I'm going to pick out a nice theme and make it all bright and bonny as well.
Posterous will still be my main place for more personal stuff, but I'm going to set it up so it automatically posts to Tumblr (in fact, this should be the first post to do so). I have to pick a theme and everything, but I'll be so happy if it works properly. However, I'm going to keep Facebook away from it, for the most part. That's more for "real-life" friend stuff. Oh, and Cafe World.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. My main man Gav is coming round so I can discuss my ideas for the site with him and see how much of it we can do ourselves. I really want to be up and running by the end of the year, but I fear it'll be too late for the multitude of "Best of the decade" articles I was planning on having. Bah. Never mind.
That'll do it for the noo. Hope to catch you all on Tumblr very soon.
All the knitting I've been doing recently is now up on my website. Fourteen, count 'em, fourteen brand new hats modeled by my lovely friend Jennifer.
Waar de de rest van de Nederlandstalige websites voor Apple nieuws
nauwelijks meer vernieuwend zijn, naar een muffe hangplek ruiken of
allang de geest hebben gegeven heeft uitgever IDG besloten, dat het
tijd is aangebroken om een Nederlandse MacWorld website te starten.
Dit zal er in ieder geval voor zorgen, dat de kussens van de
Nederlandstalige Mac-websites eens opgeschud zullen worden. In ieder
geval weer OK om een nieuwe speler te zien en te lezen.

My website will be updated by the end of the week. Worked on so many great projects this past year... Alberta College of Art and Design and Porto Montenegro to name just a few. Here are some examples from the commercial gallery on my site. Check it, www.dwaynenorman.com
Exiting news on the Google Website Optimizer front! The optimisation team over at Google have launched an extension to their API that allows CMS providers to include the Website Optimizer service into their platforms, thereby enabling their customers to run tests without ever having to touch their website code (all happens on the backend, i.e. what page to serve to what visitor).
