Site Updated!
Sub Navigation Buttons
I just updated my home page with a great new Stack from Gary Byrd of rapidweaverthemes.com.. I follow Gary on Twitter and in the RapidWeaver forums, I have also done some mock up work for him. I saw that he released a set of stand alone button stacks. So I made a request of him to see if he would make a stack that was basically a sub navigation for a site that does not use the built in RW tool bar function. I had a make shift sub nav on my site made up of a Blocks page and the blocks built in button block. I then used the great PlusKit plugin to import it into a text Stack on my home page.
A More Elegant Solution
Once I saw that Gary had release the Awesome Button Stack I was pretty sure his talents would be called into play for my request. So I tweeted a message to him with my request and he was more than glad to oblige me.
Great Devs and RW Community
I cannot thank Gary enough for this great Stack and his efforts. Also, the great RapidWeaver Community of plugin and theme developers that I follow on Twitter and on the RW Forums. I just love that on Twitter you can be in contact with the devs of the products that you use.
Keep up the good work RW devs and thanks again!
Great Apps for iPhone and Mac
Great New iPhone App
Pastebot is a great new app from Tapbots. They make some very cool iPhone/iPod Touch apps that are very well designed and are easy to use. I own two of them, Convertbot and now Pastebot. Pastbot is the new release and the more I use it the more I wonder why this was never done before.
Clipboard on Steroids
With the companion Mac app, Pastebot Sync, you can now transfer photos from the iPhone directly to iPhoto or any other place that you would like on your Mac. Or you can copy a photo from iPhoto onto your iPhone. Think about this for a minute. Say I want to just put one photo onto my iPhone and I do not have the time to plug in the iPhone, allow it to do its backup and then sync everything. Now, just select the picture you want and copy it to your clipboard and there it is on your iPhone. Wow, that makes things so much more convenient and handy. It is one of my favorite new apps.
A new Bird on the Block, meet Kiwi!
Kiwi is a new Twitter App for the Mac from YourHead Software, the RapidWeaver plugin devs. YourHead is venturing outside of the RapidWeaver area and branching out to a standalone Mac app.
What makes Kiwi unique is the ability to apply a different theme or style to the app for a more personal touch. It is now my primary Twitter app on my Mac and I know that it will only improve over time.
Try this out and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
