| | Sun, 10 Aug 2008 11:22:51 -0400 | | | This is an approach that allows you to manage your authored content in the cloud with Google Docs. There are many reasons you might want to consider authoring your blogsite content in Google Docs; here are just a few.
- It's a great place to write content, perform spell checks, and collaborate on new posts with your team.
- The formatting capabilities and user interface is similar to Microsoft Word, so you can enjoy the benefits of an application you may already be familiar with.
- Google Docs provides a place where you can keep archives of everything you write.
- Google Docs provides a word count feature.
Google Docs is free - you can setup an account in minutes and begin writing immediately. You can also copy and paste from Google Docs directly to your Blogsite editor window without fear of dragging along any strange formatting classes and styles from desktop applications such as Microsoft Word. Benefits for FireFox Users
As you may know, editing blog posts with FireFox on the Mac or PC's causes paragraph breaks to to be generated as two line breaks. In contrast, Internet Explorer automatically generates the more common paragraph format using the HTML paragraph tag (<p>). If you want to create your blogsite content with FireFox and with paragraph tags, Google Docs makes it much easier.
Google Docs allows you to enforce document creation standards in HTML with paragraph tags. As a result, your text can be generated as normal [HTML] paragraphs and with other standard HTML tags (see Format | Normal Paragraphs setting in the Google Docs menu). Before you copy and paste the final content into the Blogsite editor, simply set the highlighted selected to Normal Paragraphs; the copied text will contain proper paragraph tags. And this formatting will be preserved if you edit a post created through this process in the future. This approach allows you to mimic the same HTML paragraph generation process that occurs when authoring new content with Internet Explorer and provides a far better experience for your visitors and content that's easier to maintain. | |

| | Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:25:35 -0400 | | | A search engine that includes all of the best domains for finding free content for your blog, your website, or other content development tasks. I was having lunch with a few of our customers last week and one of them remarked that it was a pain looking through all the free content sites for images, articles, and stories that can be reused for blog posts and articles. I had also experienced this - the Creative Commons directories are wonderful, but not as friendly as good'ol Google's format and layout. And the new Creative Commons filters in Google are excellent, but your searches include the entire web - not always ideal if you're trying to narrow your scope to professional produced images, videos, and text.  Sooo... I decided to build a comprehensive aggregation of all the great content sites that are free (or mostly free) and host it at GimmeFreeContent.com. Like the content it recommends, it is free to use so please spread the URL to your friends and colleagues.
Be sure to submit your suggestions and comments - I'm sure this could be greatly improved and I'm confident many of you know of some great resources. Enjoy. Cheers! --bf See Also- Gimme Free Content

- Creating a search engine in 90 seconds
Most businesses have many Internet domains; a web site, a blogsite, a media room, and perhaps other sites for support or special marketing content. Some of the content may be secure and some is intended only for discovery through extranets or intranets. Internet-based businesses may also have a social forum, a product catalog, or perhaps marketing partners with high-value content about their products and services. According to Bill, "Creating and managing a multi-domain search solution that comprehensively addresses user requirements present a number of security, technical, and usability challenges. These challenges can be addressed with good planning and design. But the key requirement is to provide your visitors with an on-domain search solution that is comprehensive and leads your visitors to the information that will help them regardless of which content application it happens to reside." Register today to hear Bill and many other experts including Matt Cutts (Google), Chip Heath (Stanford), and Satya Nadella (Microsoft) covering topics about search engine strategies.
