HMAUS Signal Supporting Macintosh and Apple Users in Hawaii

A *heavy* box of books arrived in my mail yesterday afternoon. It barely fit in the mail bin!

These are the 40 books of Lorelle VanFossen’s book, Blogging Tips, What bloggers won’t tell you about blogging, that will be given free to the students at the Web Weavers Workshop.

I checked the contents and couldn’t help but take a peek at a copy. WOW!

This is one book that you’ll be keeping close to your deskspace at all times. It’s that good. It’s 95 pages of valuable tips and ideas. And each page generally has two to four items. Good table of contents and it’s indexed well.

You don’t need to even be remotely interested in blogging. If you have a web site and if you develop web sites, you’ll find find this book valuable.

You could buy this book here. Or you could get it free at the next Web Weavers Workshop AND spend prime time with Lorelle.

Lorelle has graciously accepted our request to be our guest sensei for an all-day hands-on workshop on WordPress. You’ll not find a better teacher with so much vivre and personality!

The Web Weavers Workshop is on Wednesday, October 22 from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, at the Manoa Innovation Center. Registration fee covers the room rental, class material and lunch.

Recently, Marcie Katz mentioned needing to print her Apple Address Book into a small booklet and couldn’t find a way to do it. As promised I did some research and found an easy way to extract the information so that another program, FileMaker Pro for one, could format and print it.

It’s a PHP application created by Thomas Bruederli (labs.brotherli.ch).

I placed a copy of it here:

It looks like a great little piece to turn into a WordPress plug in. I’ll post an update when I get that done. Meanwhile, if you try it, let me know what you think.
