One Click Event Websites

Many people hold events for whatever reason. Planning the event alone can take up a lot of time, including the time it takes to create a website for the event. RegOnline has an easy to use Event and Conference Registration Form.

RegOnline looks like they have a great solution for creating event websites all with one click. They have new event websites which look really nice and are very easy to read. The themes also make me feel what the event is about through the use of colors and images.

Although the themes look great, I found that a couple event websites displayed the main text more towards the left edge and it was very noticeable, at least for me. That would be a small distraction, but would not prevent me from registering for an event.

It looks very simple to find information on a page and registering for an event appears to be easy; fill in a form and you’re done.

If I was planning an event, I know RegOnline would probably save me a lot of needed time to focus on the event, rather than worrying about putting a great website together. Overall, RegOnline is user-friendly and a great solution for event planners.

Photoshop: Removing Backgrounds

This is a tutorial for removing backgrounds quickly in Photoshop, rather than using the eraser tool method. This tutorial comes from ThemBid.com. Although, I don’t agree that it is a quicker way than using the eraser tool. Maybe that’s just because it was my first time. It is easier in that it allows me to erase parts that I messed up on without erasing the actual picture with it.

The tutorial is really easy to follow, so if you need a new way of removing backgrounds from images, try it out! Check out the one I did below. I took an image of a man golfing, and placed the man on an image with snow. It may not look perfect, because I’m very new to this.

Advertisement Placement

Have you ever seen an advertisement that seemed out of place or just really funny? Oddee compiled a list of 15 unfortunately placed ads. It makes me wonder how many of them were on purpose, except for the online advertisements.

My favorite one is of the car that hit the bus with a sign that reads: “If you don’t have GIO Third Party Property Insurance, we suggest you don’t hit this bus.”

Coke Zero: Life As It Should Be

Coke zero is a drink with real taste, zero sugar and also a new website that allows you to direct your own tiny movie and save it so you can share it with others. Life as it should be is Coke Zero’s campaign. It’s really fun and easy to do with black and white films that Coca Cola has collected.

You will be asked to fill in words for the character(s) to say. Also change the way the voice sounds by moving a slider to the left or right causing the voice to sound slow or fast. There is even a tips button that will help you out with this, for example: using periods or commas to change how the person says the line. Later, your movie competes with other movies for a high rating.

I tried out The Secret and it shows a man and a woman on the beach, and the man is whispering something into the woman’s ear. She says, “Oh _____, tell me your secret.” I added Joe for the blank and then it asks me to fill in what the man says, “I was hired to be here with you.” Then I named it Spy on the Beach 2 (only because when I first tried this out I was playing with it so I couldn’t give it the same name).

Go direct your own movie, it’s fun!

Free Web-Phone Service

I just heard on FOX News about this. I stayed up until 11:00 PM EST just to hear about it, only to miss it! So, I searched for it and found it on their website.

A company in Silicon Valley, Ooma Inc. wants to provide customers with free, unlimited domestic phone calls. This would require a broadband Internet service. The catch is that you would have to buy a gizmo for $399! That might sound expensive, but considering how much it costs per year to pay for phone service, it has to be worth it, right?

They will also give you a second line for free with voice mail and conference calling.

Ooma Inc. began selling the gizmos last month with an invitation-only offer to U.S. residents.
