The party has begun around the world and we just wanted to join to say “Happy New Year 2008″! to all our friends.
Cre8asiteforums has a party going on for members only (free to join). We’re excited because we have many plans for next year, with more ways to include and support the Cre8tive Community.
As always, we thank you for your support and friendship.
Granted, the story originated with one person’s view of what happened, but it sounded so juicy it was impossible to ignore.
Cre8asiteforums members, who weren’t there, had much fun imagining what it may have been like when Google’s Matt Cutt’s appeared at a session on paid links at Pubcon and, by some witness accounts, cast an evil spell on the panelists.
Matt Cutts Shows Up, Panelists Freeze
It is a tale of excitement and woe, of secret handshakes and loose lips, the drama of good and evil writ large and played out on the seminar floor…
We’re on a roll at Cre8asiteforums. Next up is Pierre Far (aka “eKstreme”), to the moderating team. He is the third new moderator added this week.
Pierre is a long-time member of the community, who has strong “fan base” in the search engine marketing industry. Noted for his SEO tools, Pierre is also that “geneticist turned webmaster” guy.
He will be moderating the Google, Yahoo! and PPC forums, as well as adding his support to the growth and personality of Cre8asiteforums.
You’re invited to welcome Pierre and share in the celebration.
Are we done adding moderators yet?
To help guide the new Social Media and Tagging forum added to Cre8asiteforums, Chris Winfield, of 10e20, has accepted the role of Moderator.
He is teamed up with Liana Evans, of SearchMarketingGurus, who became a new Moderator yesterday.
We’re excited to bring in folks with a passion for social media and search. The Cre8asite Community is welcoming them in:
“One of the things that sets Cre8asiteForums apart is how we handle tough topics. Privately, the staff here has been thanked on many an occasion for how we attempt to keep the integrity of a person or company intact during a rough public moment.
We believe that opinions are a good thing, and sharing one’s thoughts and ideas with openness, a willingness to listen to other people and a disciplined non-attachment to one’s own views makes for a pleasant experience for everyone on the boards. “
If you’re like me, you might already have a couple of toolbars attached to your browser of choice.
The thing is though, they are all useful in their own way.
Another one that just came out is the Netcraft Anti-Phishing Toolbar.
This is the type of tool that can help stop phishing attacks, where con men use logos from banks and other businesses in deceptive spam to try to steal your personal information. A Tutorial from Netcraft helps explain how to use the toolbar most effectively.
Nice stuff.
The staff at Cre8asiteForums have had the ability to scan RSS feeds that we’ve subscribed to, but this was available to us “backstage”. One of our Tech Admins, Stock (aka “Grumpus”), came up with the idea of trying to find a way to offer it to all members, but there were some hurdles to overcome first.
Today he’s announced and launched the new RSS to Posts option.
The idea is that if members see something there, they can start off a discussion in this new forum and discuss it with the other select members that have also subscribed to this separate forum (this is free by the way.)
We’ve been blessed at the Cre8asite Forums with a Technical Administrator whose programming skills are the technical equivalent of angels dancing on the head of a pin.
He also likes a little Jack Daniels.
A year ago, he launched his present website, which shares his forum nickname, ILoveJackDaniels.com.
I’m sure that he would really appreciate some birthday wishes for his website. In the most personal post on his pages that I’ve seen, he discusses the birthday his site shares with the whiskey, the redesigns his site has seen, his efforts to get more comments, and his thoughts about blogging.
