Picmonkey is free, simple and powerful.

Picmonkey
Makes The Web
Visual

Picmonkey is a powerful online photo editing site that offers more than just photo manipulation. The free account is inexpensive and considerably easier to use than Photoshop.

It’s powerful too!

You can easily create infographics – I do it regularly – and with the collage feature you can add images to the infographics, like the one to the right. It’s simple! Following is how I created the sidebar image. [Read more…] about Create Sidebar Ads In 11 Steps With Picmonkey Collage

x.vindicosuite.com Is An Unwanted Redirect (Intrusion)

May 6, 2015 by EnnisP 5 Comments

Take nothing for granted!

A Quick Search
Revealed The Solution

I recently noticed some unusual click-thrus on my site, and being the curious person I am, I investigated further.

The clicks were actually a redirect, which means people were attempting to navigate to one page but instead being taken to a completely unexpected page, a page that had nothing to do with anything on my site: x.vindicosuite.com.

The last time I checked, that URL delivered a blank page.

Tees For Everyone

I did a search and found several posts explaining what was happening. It involved Sitemeter, a visitor tracking service for websites. Any site that had their code installed was vulnerable to the redirect.

The bad news is, even though Sitemeter was notified well over a year ago, they’ve done nothing about it.

I only discovered the problem in May 2015 so there is no telling how many visitors this glitch has run off. Frustrating! [Read more…] about x.vindicosuite.com Is An Unwanted Redirect (Intrusion)

SiteGround – A Great Hosting Option

Web Hosting

SiteGround Is Breaking
Support Records

For years I hosted with HostGator and they were great up until recently. Down town started to increase and support was difficult to connect with.

The last straw was waiting 45 minutes for a chat and almost an hour for a phone connection.

I began looking around for a replacement host and discovered one I think will be good for at least another five years, SiteGround.

They received positive mention from Chris Lema, a WordPress guru of sorts. WP Site Care did several tests over a number of months which convinced them to move their accounts over to SiteGround.

That convinced me too, so I moved. What I’ve found so far is: [Read more…] about SiteGround – A Great Hosting Option

Edit Photos Online With PicMonkey

February 6, 2014 by EnnisP Leave a Comment

PicMonkey's free account offers everything I need.

PicMonkey Does
Everything You Need

If a picture is worth a thousand words then it only follows that blogging is improved manyfold by the inclusion of a few images.

And because that is true smart bloggers will do everything they can to reinforce their blogging points with pics.

It also makes sense to use your own photos or screenshots. The pics you buy or borrow from online portals usually come with conditions, which make me nervous. Take your own pics or borrow them from friends without condition. That works.

The problem is pictures aren’t always internet friendly, even the good ones. They’re often too big and occasionally the exposure or clarity isn’t the best. Solution? Edit the pic online. [Read more…] about Edit Photos Online With PicMonkey

Convert Videos To iPod Formats

March 21, 2010 by EnnisP 4 Comments


 

I recently purchased DVD’s which I wanted to show to a large crowd. To do that I needed to project onto a large screen in a bigger than usual hall, not my TV lounge. I could have carried a standard size DVD player to the location but using an iPod seemed like a much easier way to accomplish my goal. The problem was getting the video files converted to an iPod format.

It wasn’t a difficult process but I couldn’t have done it without direction from the local iStore (I use a MacBook). Following is what worked for me: [Read more…] about Convert Videos To iPod Formats
