Adventures in Twitterland...How Twitter can be used by educators and bloggers

As you can see by the right column of this blog, I have a Twitter account.

Twitter defines itself as a "real-time information network that connects you to the latest information about what you find interesting."

A common perception of Twitter is that it's just a place for people to talk about what they're doing. But the site's best function is as a news source.

Help Me Improve KHGN's Site

I need some feedback on the KHGN Web site that I manage. There are somethings I know I want to change, but I'd like some reader feedback.

Let me know what you think. Specifically, I want to know what you think about our photo galleries, videos, site organization and all the stuff on the sides of the pages.

Free Web Application of the Week: PhotoXpress Can Sizzle Up Your Presentation, Website

The World Wide Web can be a jungle for images that can bring a little spice to your multimedia. But most of the time, it'll cost you.

I manage a blog for my parent's business in Ohio as well as their regular e-mail marketing. A lot of the time, I need some sort of art to go along with the e-mail or post. For the past year or so, I ended up using istockphoto.com, which is a great site, filled with every image you can ever imagine.

But it costs about $2 to get a small graphic.

When I needed a graphic for a Prezi I recently did, I asked around for a site to find free stock images. That's when I was turned onto Photoxpress.com.
