Help for Haiti

Haitian quake survivor

I just donated $100 to Mercy Corps to help with the earthquake relief in Haiti. Considering that our own 7.0 quake could happen at any time, my heart goes out to these fellow fault dwellers whose desperately poor island nation has been decimated. Our help matters. Check out their blog for up-to-the-moment reports:

Dashboard lets you edit your site yourself!

Dashboard is the name of my new, fully editable website service which allows you to log in and work on your website at any time from any computer with no special software or training. It works on a hosted framework with modularized components. Editing is a simple matter of clicking a module and adding your text. Page elements can be rearranged by dragging and dropping and it supports video and other multimedia. Some of the built-in features include:

• Integrated blog with comment moderation
• Integrated event calendar linkable to online registration and payment solutions
• Easy to create photo galleries and slideshows
• Secure contact forms
• And more!

Plans start at just a buck a day ($30/mo.) Several projects are rolling now, I’ll post links as soon as we’re live. Super exciting!
