Managing Pop-Ups in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome from Practical eCommerce
Posted by: | CommentsTalk about time management. About the only thing better than the information in here is removing and blocking all games. Here is another Practical eCommerce article that we can all use.
Managing Pop-Ups in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome | Practical eCommerce
Ecommerce professionals spend many hours each day online. They monitor their businesses, check email, market products, post to social media sites, watch the competition, or otherwise do any one of a hundred business-related activities.
Into the midst of this online experience come pop-ups—ads, forms, controls, whatever. Perhaps, most of the time, you don’t want pop-ups interrupting your browsing. But other times, you do. For example, if you are looking at prices or specifications on a competitor’s site, the “compare products” feature probably opens in a pop-up window. Some ecommerce platforms also use pop-ups to display reports or other information. And, more specifically, if you use PayPal to process online orders, you must allow pop-ups for at least the PayPal domain.
In this article, I will describe how to find and use the pop-up manager in three popular web browsers: Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) 9, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrom…READ ON..
Skype Meeting for Virtual Online Learning – VOLBC 5
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the ideas Danna Crawford came up with to get folks to open up and share information is our monthly meeting using Skype.
In the Army we would have referred to the meeting as a BOGSAT (that is a Bunch of Guys Sitting Around Talking) where more things get resolved than in any committee.
We meet on the third Monday of each month at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. Attendance is open to all members and everyone has a chance to talk about what they are involved with and to bring up any challenges they are facing concerning all aspects of online business. Most issues are resolved in the meeting and those that are not are followed up on by someone with knowledge that may help.
This is like getting a lifetime consultation contract for the price of your VOL membership. But it is not all business. The meetings are fun, entertaining and may last well into the night, so join up and join in, and have fun.

“For the past year, I’ve been producing Photoshop and Illustrator video tutorials for Ecommerce Developer. For my 100th post (this one), I wanted to do something a little different: offer some free files for you to use in web design projects.
These files are all available for commercial use for free under the creative commons license. Attribution is not necessary, but is welcome.
In these collections, you will find pricing comparison tables, web boxes, swatches, an icon set, vector elements and various other web elements. Most of these are available in both Photoshop and Illustrator, with just a few exceptions.
Each of these designs has been created in a way that allows you to easily change the color scheme to best fit your theme. I will briefly explain how to do this in the accompanying video.”

“A concern I often hear from those new to social networking is the amount of time it takes to manage engagement activities, such as tweeting or posting status updates to Facebook and LinkedIn.

This article presents five tools that will help you make the most of your social-networking time. You won’t need to use all five, however. I simply want to give you a good selection to choose from”. ...read on...

via Google Apps: Free Business Tools, Plus Collaboration Services | Practical eCommerce
As Google expands the number of tools and services it offers, it also seeks to package those services so they can be linked with each other and between the main user and other collaborators. This is the idea behind Google Apps, a suite of productivity and collaboration tools.
Google launched its Apps program in 2006, with “Gmail For Your Domain,” with 2 GB of storage and the ability to link the Gmail account to a custom domain name. Later that year it included other services like Calendar, Talk and Page Creator.
