  • The Value of Photographic Meta Information

    This spring I got WAY behind with my online photo sharing. Generally I’m pretty consistent downloading photos from my iPhone4 to my computer and uploading them to Flickr, but for various reasons (mainly busyness) I had almost five hundred photos on my iPhone today dating back to Spring Break in March. I had to delete…

  • Brainstorming PlayingWithMedia.com with Popplet

    This evening I used the free iPad app “Popplet Lite” to brainstorm the outline of a book, “Playing With Media: An Invitation to Create, Learn and Share.” Here are the results! The in-app resolution is a lot better than the exported JPG versions, even at a larger resolution. Hopefully a PDF export will be more…

  • Configure Autoposting to a WordPress Blog from Emails via Posterous

    If you manage (or want to manage) a shared or “team” blog, there are several different ways to solicit posts from different people. For self-hosted WordPress blogs, the free plug-in TDO Mini Forms allows designers to create customized forms on sites for contributions. This is nice since it allows specific content to be solicited, and…

  • Tips for adding images to Custom Google Maps #gct

    I received an email this evening from a participant in my half-day workshop, “GeoApps for Learning: Google Maps and Google Earth,” which I presented in early March at the Heartland eLearning Conference. He is running into trouble getting his students to add images to their shared, custom Google Map. These are a few tips I…

  • How to automatically publish blog posts to a Facebook page

    Twitterfeed is a free service which (among other things) lets users automatically publish blog posts to a Facebook page. As the name implies, Twitterfeed can also be used to automatically post content to Twitter. I’ve found its capabilities unique, however, since it allows publishing of a web feed to a Facebook PAGE instead of just…

  • OKC WordPress Users’ Group March 2011 Meeting Notes

    These are my notes from the March 28, 2010 Oklahoma City WordPress User’s Group meeting held on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond. Our group meets the last Monday evening of every month. My thoughts and comments are in all caps. I presented on mobile tools for posting to WordPress (including Posterous) and…

  • Moderate comments on a Posterous Blog

    If you use a blog for any purpose, including a class blog students access, it’s VERY important to configure it with comment moderation enabled. One of the easiest (and free) ways to create a blog today and share rich media (images, audio and video) as well as text with hyperlinks is to use Posterous. When…

  • Plant Your Flag in the Sand and Claim It

    I had an opportunity to take some photographs at the beach this week in California. In thinking digitally, these images seem to ask: What does your digital footprint look like? You talking with media yet? How about your students? The best way to proactively take charge of your digital footprint is to publish “claimed” content…
