I have just recently added Google Apps to my website. I made this move because I have been getting tired of receiving spam and annoying e-mails. This move was not based off of the need to have a bigger e-mail inbox as the set-up I have right now is more than enough. I really am starting to see how great of a system it really is and how ideal it would be for Biola to be on such a nice system. In fact an educational institution like Biola would get extra features that I currently do not have access to with the service. I definitely will have to spend more time using and abusing the system. I will not only be using the email services but also the calendar and document services too. I’m excited to think of what it could do if implemented in the California School Project website. We will see if that is an option in the future.

Rapid VPS

I am excited to share about my web host, Rapid VPS. This is a great company which has awesome support, the most features that I’ve ever seen and all at a cheap price. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who is looking to get a reliable Virtual Private Server. They have the experience and the tools to help you with any problem and have exceeded my expectations in providing easy management and over-the-top features for your web hosting experience. The fact that through the control panel: you can restart your server, restore an image of your server, or reinstall the OS if your server goes haywire is a feature you rarely find.

I have been with them for over a year and a half and have been very impressed. They do have special pricing available if needed and they happily host my non-profit organization’s website: California School Project dot Com. Their motto is “root is everything” and to Rapid VPS, root is really everything. You get root access to your server and much more than you could ever ask for.

AdaptiveBlue Widgets

I posted information earlier about a great Netflix widget. However I was looking around some more and found another great Netflix widget. This widget is provided through AdaptiveBlue. AdpativeBlue is a great service if you want to add beautiful widgets to your website using RSS feeds from common websites. They provide widgets for services like Amazon, Blockbuster, Epicurious, iTunes, Last.fm, Netflix, New York Times, Rhapsody, Rolling Stone, Snooth, Wallstip, Wine.com, and Yahoo. The great feature is you don’t even have to have an RSS feed; you can show the best selling books off of Amazon or the music you’ve purchased off of iTunes. You can sign up for other features that include keeping track of stats, toolbars that help you see media reviews fast and easy, and also add great information to links about books, movies, music and stocks. Many of their features integrate with common platforms.
