Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. As a wordpreneur, sooner or later, you’re going to need to transcribe something you’ve recorded — an interview, a webinar, a speech on video or audio, whatever. For those of you with heavy transcription needs, you’ll probably want some automated speech-to-text conversion software to help save you oodles [...]
Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. I absolutely positively do not need software tools for photo and image processing and manipulation, having collected what’s in my toolbox literally from years of futzing around with this stuff. I haven’t even upgraded some of what’s in there to their latest versions, preferring to rely on my intimate and [...]
Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. Didn’t get much in the way of “Wordpreneur Tools testing time” this week, so didn’t. No need for that to keep you away from putting some cool tools to work for your respective enterprises though. I’ve discarded the crappy “tools” that have crossed my desk; here are the [...]
Just a heads up folks that the majorly substantial introductory 51% off deal for Joel Friedlander’s Book Design Templates for Microsoft Word ends at midnight tonight. PST, CST, EST, heck if I know, just think right freaking now, willya? Joel Friedlander’s an award-winning book designer, and he’s put together this excellent selection of template designs that [...]
Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. You want free, useful tools to help you with your wordpreneur duties and projects? Of course you do! Dropped the ball last week, getting too busy to do one of these WpTF installments (should have planned for it, I know). So let me see if I can make up [...]
Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. You’re probably a Facebook user, like a few kajillion other folks. And maybe, like me, you’ve ended up using it as a notebook of sorts, recording your thoughts, observations, events, or whatevers in your Facebook statuses over time. Probably nothing planned. In my case, I found myself [...]
Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. Today’s tool is a design tool, as in graphic design, as in “something a lot of technical and writer types think they can do themselves but actually suck at.” This one’s meant to do one thing easily and well: Turn a quotation — or any relatively short [...]
Just an update to the little (OK, big) issue I had trying to run the WordPress Send to Kindle plugin I mentioned earlier in today’s Wordpreneur Tools Friday. In short, the Send to Kindle feature didn’t work here on the Wordpreneur blog, and trying to use it would simply produce an operation timeout error message. [...]
Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. Sorry, busy week, so only writing about one tool today. And its something I’ve been holding for later (read on for why), but again, busy, and although I have a nice sized list of potential Wordpreneur Tools to look at, they’re still to look at. This one, [...]
Click here for past Wordpreneur Tools Friday recommendations. Just some buzzing among many of our peers in the past week or so over this one little bit of news: Google’s announced it will be shutting down its Google Reader service in July. As the most popular of the RSS reader services, lots of us use [...]
The two tools you’ll be reading about in today’s Wordpreneur Tools Friday installment are in the “not quite recommended but pretty dang curious” category. I like what they promise, but I’m not sure they deliver what they say they will. The way I think they should, anyway. Or what is delivered isn’t cost effective as [...]
I’m calling this week’s Wordpreneur Tools Friday installment the Old School Edition. Here we revisit in a sense a couple of old, pre-Internet era must-have business resources but with a decidedly modern day angle to the way they’re implemented and/or put to work serving our operations and objectives. If your technical skills are merely in [...]
Is it March already? Holy Cannoli, we age too fast <sigh>. OK then, time for another Wordpreneur Tools Friday! No theme for this installment, except for this: These are a couple of very helpful tools, I use them myself, and as is often the case with WpTF-recommended tools, they’re both free. Click here for past [...]
Let’s call this latest installment of Wordpreneur Tools Friday The Chrome Productivity Edition. Just giving you a heads up on a few tools I’ve used to help me with wordpreneur work. The first thing you’ll need to get and use, if the edition title isn’t enough of a giveaway, is Google Chrome, Google’s free Web browser. According [...]
Hello again, Grasshopper! Following are the tools that caught my attention (or tickled my memory) the past week, each with just enough Wordpreneur smarts and promise to make room for in our overcrowded psyches, for possible “further exploration” potential, at the very least. So here they are, in this, the second installment of the new [...]
Let’s start a new tradition hereabouts — new-ish, anyway, since in a sense, we’re revisiting our roots. Grasshopper, let me introduce you to… Wordpreneur Tools Friday! The concept’s simple: Every Friday, in a single post, I’ll give you a few (or more) links to “tools” you may find useful as a wordpreneur. To do, well, [...]
WordPress users: Wouldn’t it be neat if there were an easy way to add those attention grabbing boxes on your posts or pages? What am I talking about? Eyes down, Grasshopper. At the bottom of this post, see that red bordered round cornered boxy thing with the yellowish background and the link in the middle? [...]
Transferring huge files online probably ranks among the highest “tech tasks” performed regularly by those of us in the publishing industry. Writers and editors need to send each other stuff all the time. In most cases, the transfers are all handled and go smoothly via email file attachment. But sometimes, those file sizes hit truly [...]
