So I had an Idea this morning thanks to a chat that I was in over at arewestillcool, last monday. I went over to there site and participated in there chat, a good time was had by all. They have a little image in there sidebar advertising the next chat on May 19 at 9pm est. I liked it so much that I thought I would grab the image and put it in my sidebar to try and get more people to come join the chat.

Here is what I came up with…

I built a page where you can put in an image URL and a Link URL hit send and bam!!! you get an email with the code you need to put it in your blogs text widget. There is plenty of instruction and a few rules, but have at it.

, or you can click on the little ballon with the puzzle piece.

Added Bonus!

While I was building this page I decided to ad an extra feature. There is a section in the form letting you choose to have your code posted publicly so you can share you Image Link with the rest of the world. If you choose ‘Yes’ I’ll grab your code and put it in a textarea box and post it above the form. This way anyone can grab it and put it in there sidebar.

Check it out, tell your friends, but don’t abuse it. Also if you find any glitches let me know. Have fun

I would just like to announce that our Original Poster Boys ‘MercyMe‘ have had another revision of the their ever expanding Blog. This is one of my favorite parts of my job. Also, one of my favorite parts of the way web2.0 and blogging has redefined the way we view the web and its content.

With ever changing content and updates that roll in about every week, it seems like we are always having to find another little space to put a new item. With blogging type content you had better be prepared to add, add and add some more. I mean it when I say, ‘You had better be prepared‘. If you’re not, the next thing you know you’ll have a completely jumbled site with crap all over it. Your viewers wont be able to focus on much and you end up with people that only read the posts. At that point all your extras go to waste.

I think we accomplished most of our Goals with the latest revision of MercyMe. We’ve cleaned up the navigation and simplified it by putting it in a standard horizontal arangment. We took all the extras and condenced them into images that we placed in a single sidebar. There’s no explination need for what they have available, if you cant figure out what you’re clicking on than you may need glasses.

Bart has recently start Twitter, so we brought that in for you to check out. The MercyMe web crew, who is awesome by the way, has had a pretty killer audio player on the Official Website for a while now so we decided to add that for you’re listening pleasure. The Blog Roll seems to have expanded to a double column. (I swear those blog rolls are like rabbits) And finally we added a little section at the bottom for those who are curious about what has been going on in the past or just looking for something specific.

I hope you all enjoy what you see and if you have any suggestions or you just like to say nice things, I’m all ears.

Happy Blogging,
