| I finished my first week at J&J 2009-06-08 |
My friend Jess introduced me to delicious.com, a website used for creating a bookmark repository. A user adds bookmark to their account and shares them with others. It’s a great way to find user-valued links and the hottest web sites.
I’ve switched from displaying links through Wordpress on my “Resources” page to displaying my Delicious bookmarks. Access resources here.
I stumbled upon a blogging management website called Tumblr. The front page seems very Googlish and simple, so I thought I’d give it a try, and signed up. The “dashboard” is very easy to navigate with things like account information and posting capabilities in very easy-to-find locations. Tumblr also has a “Goodies” page with a widget that you can download to seamlessly add textual information to your “tumblelog.” Overall, it’s a lot like Blogger, but with a different design.
In my ongoing quest for new photo galleries, I found the NextGEN Gallery featured on the Wordpress news feed on my Dashboard for my website. The gallery doesn’t seem to have any linkages to Flickr or other photo management web sites, but looks like it works in the same way as my current gallery: FAlbum (which integrates Flickr).
This is an example of the gallery in use at AYChan.com:
The gallery website also has more examples of use. The NextGEN Gallery is pretty spiffy and worth a look.
