Webmaster Resources

This post will be a collection point for miscellaneous resources for Rotary Club webmasters.  It will be added to from time to time.

  • Web Developers Virtual Library: Very useful and comprehensive tutorials and articles.
  • Jotform.com: provides a great resource for generating web forms in a drag-and-drop environment.  Reportedly you can even host the form on their site.  Otherwise, it looks great for simply designing a form and copying the code to your own site.

Online Photoshop - for Free!

Photoshop is the ne plus ultra of graphics editing.   It’s even a verb now.  But a little pricey for most of us.

Adobe has given us a break with their free online photo editor and photo storage at Photoshop Express Online (www.photoshopexpress.com).

(Don’t forget Picasaweb for your photo albums.  If you use Google Apps for your club administration and communications, Picasaweb fits right in.)

Thwarting spam when signing up online

Sometimes you have to sign up online for something and have to provide your email address so a confirmation link can be sent.  But you really don’t want to open up your email address to spam.  What to do?

Simple.  Drop by www.temporaryinbox.com and get a temporary email address, good for 6 hours, that lets you sign up, then visit www.temporaryinbox.com to pick up the confirmation email.

A nice trick to be sure, though it may not be a good choice for places that require you to use your email as a login name.
