Photography
Topic: Resources
My sister and her teenaged daughter drove down from Nashville, Tennessee to visit family and friends this past week. Donna told me that my niece Andrea loves the historic homes in and near the downtown Mobile, Alabama area. But she said that finding photographs of the homes were scarce. Donna told me that Andrea was interested in taking photographs of the homes and selling signed and numbered prints on the internet. We even discussed Andrea publishing a book of her photographs. (Andrea got a digital camera for Christmas because she loves taking photographs. I can't wait to see her current portfolio!)

I found a web site called "Photo Stock Plus" several months ago and told her I would send her the web address. Well, you know me, I've got to share this resource with everyone who reads my blog. Click on one or both of the banners below and check it out.

"Photo Stock Plus" is a great resource for obtaining, selling or sharing photographs with friends, family, or business associates.





Take a look and let me know what you think. I have stacks of negatives and photographs (from about 40 years of my life) that I am itching to post on the internet. However, Andrea will more than likely get her collection on the web before I do. I am sure that you will see her name again.

Until later, I am and will always be... Frank

XSitePro Software
Hello everyone! If you have not noticed by now, I believe that knowlege should be a shared resource. That is why I break one of the most important and sacred rules of consulting: "Do not share your resources. People will bypass you and you will lose customers."

First off, I do not have customers, I have clients. A customer is someone who you have no interest in... except to collect their money. Clients are people you nurture and who you do not want to take advantage of. Clients are people who you have their best interests at heart. So, having said that....

I just found out about a software program that will allow you to create websites quicker than most website building programs! It is especially great for people that have a fear of using HTML programming.

In addition, it has quite a few features that should keep you aware of specific details that may affect your web business. To learn more....click here to watch the "7 Reasons Why You Need XSitePro Now!" video

If this interests you, and you are ready to purchase this exciting software program, click on the image below:




Let me know what you think of this resource. Until next time....I am and will always be Frank.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I wish your Christmas is everything you expect and more! I know today while I am fortunate to spend Christmas with my family and friends... there are many families who are not together. And... there are many families that do not have proper shelter and necessities. Save a place in your prayers for those less fortunate than us. With our help... The American Red Cross can help those souls. Please give what you can. Funds or blood. Until next time... I am and will always be... Frank

I found a way for you to get quick updates to my blog. It is though a service called "FeedBlitz". They recently published an imaginative variation of a well known Christmas poem that describes what their service provides. An excerpt of their poem follows. It was copied from their news website.

'Twas the blog before Christmas
'Twas the blog before Christmas, when all through the house
No blogger was stirring, no hand moved the mouse.
The postings were stacked by the tag cloud with care,
In hopes that more readers soon would be there;

The users were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of updates danced in their heads;
And me with my podcast, downloaded like that,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out from my laptop there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my desk to see what was the matter.
Away to the portal I flew like a flash,
Tore open the reader and refreshed the cache.

The enclosure attached soon gave me to know
That new entries were here, more news I should know.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a raft of new updates, eight headlines so clear,

With a quick Wiki update, who could it be?
Our investor, of course, a leading VC.
More rapid than eagles his portfolio came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Blogspot! Now Feedster! now, Movable Type!
On, FeedBurner, FeedBlitz! (On Marketing Hype!)
To the top of the feed! To the top of them all!
Now blog away! blog away! blog away all!"

As valuations that before the wild bubble do fly,
When they meet with a fund, mount up to the sky,
So up to the top of the investments they flew,
With RSS data, and named it Web 2.

And then, with a twinkling, I read in my news
Each notable posting, contrary views.
As I drew back my hand, and was turning around,
Down to my trackback he came with a bound.

His comments were brief, what was ado?
Were adwords OK? Did users click through?
A bundle of mashups he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

Our AJAX - how it twinkled! Our tagging - how merry!
We socially networked to his brand new BlackBerry!
Our RSS valid, we were well syndicated,
We subscribed to the feeds that we loved (and we hated);

The stump of our web site held tight in our teeth,
The hyperbole encircled his head like a wreath;
We tagged Technorati, we blogged with the best,
On Feedster we surged and made the A-list.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And marked us on Frappr, and Flickr he searched.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Updated his blog, up our OPML rose;

He sprang to his feed, gave his investments a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

**

With best wishes from FeedBlitz to everyone this holiday season!

The Web of Life

The way I see it, life is similar to a web. As far as that goes, my vision of life is different than most people’s views. Our souls are long strands through time. Tied together, through the spirits of our children. Who in time, will tie onto other strands of spirits in time. Our lives are not limited to just one individual’s existence here on earth. Our lives are continuous throughout time. From generation to generation. That is why religions teach us to treat our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. We are. Our time on the physical plane of existence is limited. The physical world prohibits, no, rather hinders most people’s abilities to remember the spiritual side of life. The one that is everlasting. Everlasting calmness, or everlasting torture, or everlasting non-existence. Everlasting, none the less. Teachings tell us that our souls will live forever. They are. They always have. They always will. Our souls do not live entirely inside our bodies. Our souls grow in the memories of others. When we encounter each other, we effect the other. Every encounter changes the course of each individual’s strand of life forever. When we see something we consider unjust, we hurt. When we see something we consider just, we glow. Our spiritual side of life, outside our physical existence, is without the ability to “feel” the pleasures that the physical side of life has to offer. Most would say that our desire for physical pleasure is our downfall. Actually, it is our feelings of ego that gets in the way of that. The feeling that someone is “loved” more than another. We, as spirits, should love everyone. How we express and share that love is different with each person. We express our love towards our parents differently than we express our love towards our children, our soul mates, or our friends. We weave a web each and every split-second. What the web ends up looking like is beyond our imaginations here on this world. On the spiritual side of life, we are aware of everything. We are one, yet we are us. We, in our physical forms, are able to weave our strands of the ribbon of life as we see fit. We have a choice to hurt, or glow, in our encounters with other spirits. We have a choice to have a life of strong ties, or one of weak knots. Read the teachings that have been passed down throughout time. Keep the web strong as you travel through your portion of time; you never know whom you may influence. Or who may influence you. When your soul leaves your body, and you take a look at your web, will it be tangled or strong as the finest thread?
