The days of paper-based planners are long over for most of us. Between the electronic appointment reminders on our phones and tablets, cloud-based calendars like the Google Calendar and the elaborate calendar tool built into Outlook, very few people still keep a paper calendar.
One of the best features of these iCal calendars is the ability to share them with anyone and everyone. With Zetabee’s iCal JS Embed, you can share several calendars, all merged into one, on your website.
Track How Many People Open, Read and Delete Your Mass Emails
Posted on July 13, 2011 - Filed Under Web Site Tips | 1 Comment
Mass email campaigns are used by nearly every company with an Internet presence. We receive at least 200 of these emails per day from bookstores, software developers, local grocery stores and even dating Web sites. Most of these mass emails end up in the trash folder without being opened.
If you are using or considering a mass email campaign for your Web site, tracking how many people read your emails is essential to gauging how powerful your mass email campaign is. CampaignCog can track this data, along with how many people quickly scan or delete your emails.
Link Directly to Webpage Quotes
Posted on July 6, 2011 - Filed Under Web Site Tips | Leave a Comment
Bloggers often borrow quotes and link to articles on other blogs as source material. These citations provide a helpful resource for readers, and also give a respectful nod to other, often competing, bloggers. However, if the linked article is lengthy, readers can become frustrated with finding information related to the original quote.
What would be more helpful for readers is linking directly to the quote in the original article so that when the link loads, the quote is highlighted—much the way the Google Toolbar allows highlighting of search terms. Citebite is a service that creates a direct link to quoted material with just a few extra seconds of work on the part of the blogger.
Send Files Uploaded from JotForms to Dropbox

JotForms is already one of the easiest ways to build Web forms for Web sites. The form builder is simple enough for even the most novice of site owners to use, and embedding a form in a Web page just requires one line of script. However, up until now, any files sent from clients through one of these forms would go to your email, causing inbox chaos.
Dropbox integration for JotForms is quickly taming the inbox clutter. Instead of files going to your email, they can now be sent straight to a folder on your Dropbox account.

While interactive elements add appeal to any Web site, they usually take a great time investment to create. Videos take time to storyboard or script, and even the shortest slideshows take time to select photos and screenshots.
Wibbitz is part video and part slideshow, but instead of taking hours to make, it works instantly. Even better—it automatically updates itself.
