As a professional web developer and graphic designer, I’ve always found one of the biggest challenges of a website project has been obtaining content from a client. I think many clients go into the web project with some type of field of dreams mentality, that if they just build a site, people will come irregardless of the content. I find that more than a few clients don’t seriously consider what type of content they’re going to put on their site ahead of time and those clients that are on the ball enough to actually write some content for their website usually find the the most annoying ways to deliver it.

I found a nice site today with a refreshingly simple interface to upload and securely store up to 1GB of files online. At dropboks.com, there are no long forms to fill out. No applications to download and install. You just navigate to the page, login, upload and download files as needed.

I was cruising dealcatcher.com on new years day and found this great deal on a Verbatim Store’n'Go 4GB USB Drive for just $17.98 from OfficeMax.com. I didn’t really need the thing, but knowing what the normal price is for even a 2GB drive, I jumped at the deal and ordered one right up. I figured this must be some kind of super after Christmas clearance price or something along those lines. I promptly paid the total $28.07 with the tax and shipping and set about waiting for my new toy to arrive. More of The Little Flash Drive That Couldn’t

If you’re a graphic artist or developer, especially one with a new MacBook Pro or any of the other Intel chip equipped macs, you should RUN to the Adobe website and download the free beta version of Adobe’s latest generation of the popular Photoshop application dubbed Photoshop CS3. The application is a free 2 day trial BUT, if you have a registered version of Photoshop CS2, you can register that serial to unlock the new beta version for unlimited use. If you don’t already have CS2 and want to use the new version, you will have to purchase a CS2 liscense and then upgrade from there.

In recent times anyone can easily start web hosting business. Even a small investor can offer hosting services by purchasing virtual dedicated hosting packages. Along with hosting services people should offer free domain name and web templates to make their business a success. In this regard they need to have good command on business software for which they should obtain basic IT knowledge in the form of 646-171. Additionally 640-801 and 646-392 certification can also prove very handy for such people.
