Saving your bookmarks online plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer

About a month ago I had to do a full recovery on my computer. It was the hardest thing to do since I had a lot of creative drawings, photos, video tutorials ect. So needless to say my lesson was back up back up back up! And of course buy an external that backs up your stuff at night.(more on that on the next blog.)

Luckly I was able to recover my bookmarks which I use frequently by using this plugin called Xmarks which went by the name fox marks. If your a die hard Internet Explorer fan Xmarks has added the a IE compatable version of the plugin.

Anyway how this plugin works is you create a user and a password and it syncs(copies your favorites to their server) to what bookmarks you have and backs up your bookmarks on their server. The best part is your out of town on someone else's computer your able to login and view your bookmarks.

Check this out if lets say you had to do a reinstall you just go back and reinstall the xmarks plugin, login and update your bookmarks and its like you never lost them.

So now when you tell someone you found a cool website and you bookmarked it you can retrevie it online with no problems. I believe also you can share your bookmarks page for your friends to view as well so its a pretty cool favorites plugin.

So check it out Xmarks.com

How To build a successful blog

I found this video on Problogger. Tim Feriss talks about what are some steps to creating a successful blog in general. Its a really good video to watch and is about 50 mins long. So even if your not watching the video you can listen while you work on your other graphic design work.

So check out the video. I will be posting more sometime next week on how to use movie maker.

Company logos interesting article.

If you kept up with the logos such as the apple logo and the IBM logo they have come a long way.

Branding is everything in the eyes of your consumers and many companies today have shed their old logo with a fresh look. I would have to say that the new apple logo is a big improvement with its relations to the products they release.
