Adobe Video Site Option

Here is an additional option for my client. This video template provides a simple way to combine multiple videos into a video showcase. The showcase is easy to edit and comes complete with visual subnavigation and captions for chapters within the videos. The template could be used for anything, but it has a great set of features geared toward displaying your personal video collection.

Site to host videos...

A client of mine contacted me for assistance in a new project - - He wants to create a secure video portal where he can easily upload videos to a controlled audience of clients and industry peers.

I found a possible solution -- Google Video application.


Sounds cool, right?

SQL database tables - HTML Symbol Code

I realized today that symbols, such as apostrophes, do not always translate properly when input into a sql table. Testing came up with problems on my Windows platform; Apple read the symbol and symbol code properly (yet another reason why I love my apple Mac oh so much).

In any event, it's an easy fix to put in the html code for symbols. Examples can be found above.

It's a beautiful day...

Driving in the DC/Virginia area on a day like today? Priceless... especially if you're fortunate enough to have a convertible. This song says it all... My God, I LOVE Queen!




Can't help myself... here's Bohemian Rhapsody my all-time Queen favorite.

U2

Wow... Amazing concert at Fed Ex. I went with my brother and Sharon; we had a great time.

Fall cleaning?

To celebrate the first day of Fall and bid Summer 09 farewell... there's nothing better than a routine round of checks and balances on my portfolio of web projects. There always seems to be something to fix, adjust or just plain fiddle with. My conclusion after today's workday? I should do this more than once a season... lol

UPDATE (9/22/09)... I thought the equinox was always on the 21st? It's NOT and I reported the above incorrectly. For future reference, here's the date/time of solstices and equinoxes.

Life is good...

The Redskins pull-off a win against the Rams today...Life is so good. GO REDSKINS!

Friday projects....

TGIF... I know it's lame, but it is true. The only thing better than Friday is Saturday (a blog friend of mine will hopefully agree.). Two major things occurred today. I addressed a Windows vs. Apple issue for the 5995 header template. Certain versions of Windows didn't like my transparent background on the logo image... not a big deal, I've adjusted and reloaded to the test site. I'd love to have this finalized today with the webhost. Keep your fingers crossed.

Go Skins... we need a WIN against the Rams.

Google Gadget - Share it

Guess what? Found a google gadget called, "Share it" that can be installed on your website/blog to 'share information on your Facebook or Twitter'. Here's the link if you want to try it out.

Note:  This is not as cool as the Wordpress Sociable plugin by any means - - Sociable has a ton of options to choose from as shown below.

Google Steps to Take...

When you launch your site, visit Google.com to (1) submit the URL; (2) verify the site; and (3) generate/upload sitemap. I have added links in my bookmarks listing that may be helpful.
