Whytespace Ltd’s Blog

For all those of you who are using blogs and do not have comment moderation turned on, a word of warning.  I recently had a client contact me that several of their old posts had been hijacked by someone dumping inappropriate links.  Now you might ask what purpose could that possible serve, well it falls into a dark area of the web called link dumping and the sole purpose of it is to get links back to your website via any keywords imaginable.  So although it might be a pain to moderate every comment coming to your blog, at least you can be sure that only appropriate comments are showing up.

Hey Everyone! We have started offering a new FREE service – MyBlogSpace.ca. This website is designed to offer free blogs to individuals and non-profit organizations to get their feet wet into the wild world of blogs. If you would like to get your very own blog setup, just drop us a note and we’ll get one setup for you and as long as you are using it for personal or non-profit you, it is yours FREE.

If anyone is looking for a tool to help them manage, edit, and email digital photos, they don’t have to look any further than Picasa (www.picasa.com).  Picasa is a free piece of software – yes it is free – developed by Google as a premier digital photo management tool.  Simple download and run the installer program and then Picasa starts it’s magic.  On first run, it even asks if you want Picasa to find all the picture files on your computer.  Now, unlike other photo organizing software, Picasa doesn’t move your photos or make copies of them, it takes note of their location on your hard drive and pulls references into the program.

Check it out and if you have any questions just give us a call.

Just a quick note of reminder that Whytespace’s web, email, and database services will be undergoing routine maintenance on January 1 and 2, 2009. On these days, users may experience intermittent down times. If you have any concerns, please contact us.
