Johnson Boxes and How To Make Them

February 23, 2010
Tools

Johnson Boxes are one of those things that everyone refers to and assumes that everyone knows all about them and how to do them – but in my experience they don’t. Following the ‘clean page’ option last week which most people spotted as a potential sales/squeeze page it seems logical to follow it up [...]

Thesis Clean Page Option

February 18, 2010
Tools

I am truly, madly, deeply in love with Thesis – it is the best wordpress theme, bar none.  It is worth every single penny I paid for it.  I would pay a lot more.  It is probably the most valuable single investment I have ever made for my business. One of the joys is how [...]

Newbies Pit Stop Tools

A friend said to me the other day, when discussing some new geekery “We are toolsmiths” and he was quite right.  I love new shiny toys and tools. We were discussing Google Wave* at the time  but the tool I want to bring to your attention today is Dropbox – a fantastic tool for anyone [...]

This is a lovely little extension for Firefox for all those web builders out there – ColorZilla provides a whole raft of tools for analysing colors and so forth on websites.  Very pleased to have this at my finger tips.
This one came as something of a surprise to me – I didn’t even realise this [...]

Busy Busy…

August 25, 2008
Tools

I’ve spent the last couple of days grappling with a whole new set of skills.  I build websites, it’s what I do and how I make a living.  Anything I can do to make it easier, provided it’s ethically acceptable, is of benefit.  As I have said before I will spend money to save time [...]

The Cost of ‘Free’

June 3, 2008
Reflections Squidoo Tools

‘Free’ is a somewhat emotive word on the internet – we all seek the ‘free’ information that will give us the key to success, we look for the ‘free’ tools that make our job easier, we mutter when we discover that something that purports to be ‘free’ actually ends up costing us – even if [...]

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

January 31, 2008
Tools

Illustrating your website or blog is always a thorny issue. Do you, don’t you, how many, what, where are just some of the questions that spring to mind. I don’t use a huge number of images on my blog because it’s not always appropriate, but I do use them on websites and lenses. [...]

Do Your Homework

January 22, 2008
General Online Marketing Tools

I made a comment to a colleague that I spend hours, even days, on keyword research until I am happy I have the best information I can distil from the process before I so much as put finger to keyboard to build a site. He couldn’t believe that I would spend so much time [...]

Fail to plan and you know what will happen

January 6, 2008
Online Marketing Tools

It’s an old adage – Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail. It’s absolutely true.
I freely admit that I am somewhat obsessive about planning but that is because I have found it works. When I don’t plan, I twiddle about at this and that and feed the time thieves a positive banquet. I’ve [...]

Announcing the birth of a new edition

December 18, 2007
Squidoo Tools

The last two days have been frustrating. I decided it was time to revamp my ‘Silver Lining‘ Report which is all about making the most of Tags on Squidoo – though many of the techniques can be applied to other sites as well. Suffice it to say all did not quite go [...]

New Squidoo Portal

December 12, 2007
General Squidoo Tools

The ever increasing range of specialist sites at Squidoo has been increased by Squidflix – brilliant idea! The whole idea is to have a Movie review site where ‘you the viewer’ can take part by using the new duelling questions module, which I have to say I love – it gives a new [...]

Worth Looking At -2

Squidoo Tools Worth Looking At

A second site in this occasional series is one that has cleared away some clouds of confusion for me. Yahoo Pipes is something folks rattle on about and I have never got round to really sorting out in my head. Having decided it was time that I did I came across a [...]

SnagIt for Free

December 10, 2007
Tools

 I was aware that an older version of Camtasia had been made freely available as were most folks around but until reading CKMarketing’s excellent blog today, and catching up on some old posts I did not realise that SnagIt had also been made available in the same way.  You can download SnagIt here and then [...]

I do like a Win-Win situation…

December 5, 2007
Online Marketing Tools

I do like a Win-Win situation – and it’s surprising how often you can find them if you keep your eyes and ears open. Browsing around some of the excellent blogs I cam across courtesy of Entrecard yesterday I came across ‘Give Away of The Day‘. Now, like most women I love a [...]
