Highlights for 8/15
Google Custom Search - Business Edition
We integrated the newly-released business search from google today for a client and it’s absolutely great! It allows you to have your own private-label search and index up to 5,000 pages for only $100/year ($500/year for up to 50k pages).
Google simply gives you an XML output of the results, and they can be customized/styled to fit your site perfectly. Kudos to the team there for finally making this happen.
Feeling Tired?
Here’s a productivity tip that can help anyone: if you spend most of your day in an office chair and always feel exhausted, then get up!! Exercise is not only essential for a healthy lifestyle, but it’s also essential for a productive workflow.
I recently started a diet/workout suggested by Tim Ferriss (mentioned here) and feel as fresh and psyched about work as ever. It’s only 3.5 hours per week for me, so make time for it.
I Wish I Had this Idea
Ever see something so cool that you instantly wish you had thought of it first? That was my very reaction when discovering Jott. Amazing little app, works like a charm.
8 Tips for a Stronger Call to Action
These tips from email labs can be applied to email marketing or website copy. Either way, it’s fantastic advice and a good read for those that are not born marketers.
Ever Want to Set Browser-Specific Styles?
In comes the CSS Browser Selector script! This was discussed a while back when 37signals wanted a way to set browser-specific styles. It became a life-saver for me recently when I needed to set a style for Safari. This little piece of javascript allows developers to easily set styles for a ton of browsers, and even set styles for when the user does not have javascript enabled. It’s now part of my toolbox and it worth learning about.
