2nd June, 2007 shrinkpictures.com announced that they have resized 3 million pictures.

The websites has an online tool that allows you to Resize Pictures without the need to install any software on your locl computer. The website has been operating since September 2005 and now resizes around 400,000 photos each Month.

Not only can you resize photos but you can also turn your own photo into an avatar. Making an avatar from your photo is very easy - just follow the simple steps. The only difference between resizing a photo is that when you use the Avatar maker it resizes and crops your photo to a square. Simply choose your photo, select the size and a few seconds later you can download your new Avatar or thumbnail.

We all tend to have our list of favourite websites and Blogs that we look at from time to time. I came across a great utility website the other day that can let you know when a web page changes. Rather than opening up all of your favourites and going thru them one at a time Web page monitoring can do it all for you and send you the results.

Changedetect offers a Free web service that will monitor not a website, but a web page for any changes to it. When I looked at How it Works it is pretty simple from a user’s point. All you do is log into your account, load up the URL of the page you want to watch and then when the page changes you can see it in your control panel. The best part is that the actual changes are colour coded making it easy to see what has changed.

The Benefits of using a web based service for this should be obvious. Like other web based software you don’t need to download anything and run the risk of installing software from an unknown source.

I logged into the Demo admin panel just to get a feel of what is on offer. I was pretty blown away by the Features available. You can bulk import your bookmarks, set up a schedule for monitoring changes in pages and even select the notification option when a page changes.

A Nifty service that I have already signed up to, I give it a big thumbs up.

There is much talk today about Web Site Advertising and Search Engine Optimization tips, and how to land higher in a SE’s (Search Engine) SERPS (Search Engine Results Position). But little is talked about how properly used “White Hat” SEO techniques will inadvertently assist in website accessibility.

Most times it’s very true, that marketing a websites and accessifying a website will butt heads. Accessibility states that content is king, and end-user usability/accessibility must prevail before any marketing hype - and especially any “black hat” usage. SEO has stated in the past that alls fair in love and SERPS! Accessibility was not considered, sometimes not even a option.

Well, fast forward into the ever evolving world of SEO. Content has always been prime SEO consideration, but never more than now. In fact, content - and more importantly for this article - accessible content stands as the basis for all SEO work. Next to the high priority of obtaining Incoming Back links (IBL) from that high PR (PageRank) site that drive so many SEO professionals crazy, there is, “The Copy” (The Content).

Keyword rich copy is important, yes, but now it seems more than ever, that the actual layout, or page markup – of a website – needs to be rich. Rich in accessibility. If you think about it, when a user has problems accessing a site, whether it be inaccessible navigation, or content way “below the fold” - while advertisements about Viagra are at the top of the page, what do you think a SE’s searchbot will think (can they think?)

SE’s are becoming much more capable in their discernment of a page or site that is targeting real people, or just trying to make an AdSense buck. So the shift has been for the good of accessibility!

When a person wants a website built for their Mom-and-Pop store, what I like to ask them is a very simple question (among many other questions of course), “do you have an older Aunt/Uncle/relative that has a sight impairment, or do you know of anyone who suffers from any disability?” Most times, statistics tell us that they do know of a loved one who fits that category. I then launch into my “Accessibility Statement”. As I evangelize the accessibility movement (Web Design Standards Movement), I most likely will get the reply of, “that sounds great…but will that help my website be on Google’s top ten in one month?”

I’m sorry to say, but unless you’re linked from Google itself, along with 5 other PR10 sites, you’re gonna be sandboxed for awhile! But – and this is a big but – accessifying your website will most definitely help your SERPS in the long run!

That’s why I’ve been involved in Web Standards for four years now. As a member of the Web Standards Group, as well as membership in the Guild of Accessible Web Designers, I strive to achieve maximum accessibility in designs, while using the latest, cutting-edge eXtensible HyperText Mark-up Language/CSS markup. These coding practices fully validate with the W3C standards for XHTML/CSS, as well as comply with the W3C’s WAI - A, AA, or AAA standards.

Everyone who has ever wateched TV or seen a movie has heard that phrase. Not everyone can get to enjoy the Playboy lifestyle but that doesn’t mean you cannot learn all about the cool gadgets you can buy on the market right now to become a spy. This is why you need Spy review so you can find out about the gadgets. You may not be able to Buy an Aston Martin with an inbuilt rocket launcher, but how about a spy phone instead. Not only is it freely available, it won’t cost you anywhere near as much either!

Not only can you learn the tricks of becoming a spy, but you can learn what to look out for as well! If you know how a spy might be planting a telephone bug you will then know how to prevent your phone from being bugged!

Spy Review is a great site that has a lot of articles on all things spy that you can easily make or purchase - don’t take my word for it go and have a look at all the past articles on spy review for yourself.

(PS - every fullstop on this article is in fact a hidden spy camera - you really should stop doing that in front of your computer)

You know I have met so many funny and witty people in all my years of life, and then I have also met some people that thought they were funny and witty but they just weren’t.

Some actors lean how to be funny or how to be witty , and they go off and make millions of dollars being funny and witty.

Being funny and witty comes natural to some and others may never be funny and witty no matter how hard they try, the will never learn to be funny .

Most funny and witty people become entertainers simple for the fact that many people pay to see funny and witty people in action and will sit through hours of funny and witty acts on stage.

You might wonder why I have mentioned the ” Funny and Witty” so many times in this blog post….Well maybe I too was trying to be funny and witty by posting funny and witty every other word.

You might not find that funny and witty…….or maybe you will……..
