Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:04:24 +1100

We’re Making Pages Better

We want to make sure the tools you use to manage your page are as effective as possible. Here’s an update that may affect how you connect with your audience:
Improvements to Insights: You’ll now see a new public metric called People Talking About This underneath your fan count to show the number of people on Facebook who have engaged with your page in the last 7 days. Learn more in your Page Insights.

Reviews and Discussions: The best way to encourage conversation and feedback is through posts and comments on your Wall. To focus on this, we’ll be removing the Reviews and Discussions apps on October 31st. Learn More

If this includes your page - i suggest you back it all up…like now! :D

7 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULDN'T SWITCH TO WORDPRESS

Mon, 01 Aug 2011 22:56:00 +1000

I read this article here.

There are many reasons why people should switch to Wordpress. For instance, if they’re using a plain modify-by-hand html page blog - then for sure, upgrade already. But hey - i wouldn’t recommend Wordpress i would recommend tumblr or blogger.

Maybe they have an eCommerce site? Once again, no, i wouldn’t recommend Wordpress (plugins call for another thing to go wrong) - i would recommend Pixomod.

Oh, maybe they want to upload galleries - bah - see above and add “sexy slideshow without plugins”.

Hey! SEO - hmmm…overcomplicated SEO maybe, but still - if you’re using Wordpress, have you checked your image alt tags recently?

Design - not all sites are able to be customised as freely as you imagine. All Wordpress sites come with at least a couple of static modules.

Plugins - too - many - plugins! *tears hair out*.

Remember - Wordpress is Free and you get what you pay for. It’s like Firefox really. Dying a slow painful death. Its turn will come…Chrome anyone?

Selling Your Products on Facebook

Sun, 17 Apr 2011 09:00:05 +1000

So, you have a website, and on that website you sell products? Be it a download or a gift hamper, maybe even clothing…whatever it is, you sell it on your site?

So, you have a Facebook fanpage? Do you sell those same products on there?

You do? Awesome, but do you have to go to Facebook and manage two different sets of products? Those on your site, and those on the Facebook products section as well? That’s annoying isn’t it? It’s also a waste of time and effort. We should do something about that, contact me.

You don’t? …and why not? There are potential clients out there that you could be showing your products to. We should do something about that, contact me.

Either way, your products have the potential to be shown on your Facebook fan page and managed from the one single admin that sits behind your website. This my friends is the power of Pixomod. I’ve made this system with you in mind. So head over to the Pixomod website and check it out :)

Your website is a powerful too, that should work for you, not the other way around!

a bunch of website don'ts...and a few do's

Sun, 07 Nov 2010 23:04:00 +1100

A lot of people on the internet make websites for their businesses. But more commonly than not a few design flaws seep out from inside the trap door in which they would normally reside.

1. DON’T use splash pages:

Unless you absolutely must, do not use splash pages. Don’t waste your visitors’ time on the intro page and force them to “click to enter”. If used, splash pages should contain valuable information.

2. DON’T use “click here” links:

“Click here” links are bad practice for usability and accessibility reasons. They are context and device dependent and do not provide enough information to users or search engines.

3. DON’T write in all caps:

We all know writing in all caps on the web means you are shouting. When you want to use all caps on your website for decorative reasons, use CSS and the text-transform property.

4. DON’T underline text that isn’t a link:

Website users expect links to be underlined. To avoid confusion, don’t underline text that is actually not a hyperlink.

5. DON’T write bad alt text, and always provide alt text:

The alt attribute is a textual replacement for the image which is not being displayed. It must always be used, even if the image in question is purely decorative–in that case, the alt attribute should be an empty string.

Do not write inappropriate alt text. Write alt text that is clear, concise, and explains what the image is conveying. No more, no less.

6. DON’T use justified text exclusively:

Justified text may look great, but it can also cause large holes in the text which will harm the legibility.

7. DON’T autoplay media:

Never autoplay embedded audio or video on your website. Let the user have complete control over the functions of embedded media.

8. DON’T put non-ascii characters in the URL:

One thing that is rather common, especially on websites whose content is not in English, is URLs that contain unencoded characters such as space, å, ä, or ö. While this works most of the time it can cause problems.

9. Google it:

If you’re not sure how to do something or wether something is best practice or not, just Google it. It’s simple. Google is God, it knows everything. I’m going to write my next post on Google and it’s awesomeness i think :)

p.s. i stole most of these from Web Do’s & Don’ts.
