Today’s modern websites aren’t built on one technology; they’re mashed together to create a product that can accomplish more – without the extra development expense. For example, when adding a photograph to Picasa, it could automatically post to your blog, website, Facebook, and Twitter. In addition, Picasa is built to manage and edit photos. Have red-eye? No problem, Picasa has a solution. Since Picasa is free, take advantage of its great tools. This article will explain how to get initial photos uploaded and sorted into a proper album – which is one step closer to having them appear on your website. Here are the simple steps to do just that!

Uploading photograph to a public album for the world to see.

With the launch of our new BLASTauthor (beta) we want to introduce two new features to help when authoring articles – the paragraph and advanced editor. The paragraph editor is useful for creating content that is easily ‘scannable’ by readers. The advanced editor gives authors the freedom to create their own style (format) for the layout of articles. Stick around as we explain the differences between the two editors.

Yesterday, Google released a new feature that gives Place Page owners the ability to respond to reviews. Every business has the opportunity to be listed on Google Maps and Google’s 7-pack. Unfortunately, only around 7 to 10 businesses will make it to the first page of the results. Those with reviews, good or bad, have a greater chance of being seen. Now you have that opportunity to respond to them! Your professional response to these reviews can build strong relationships - or ruin them. Let’s take a look at this new feature along with a few suggestions on responding to reviews.
