Resource: How To Survey

5 May 2008 at 12:44 pm (How-Tos - Other, Resources)

Part 1 of 2. Key information (process, resources) on how to conduct surveys from Katy Dickinson, a “Sun Sigma Black Belt” (whatever that is!). Oh - it’s related to Dr. Deming: “I was also in one of the last classes that

Dr. Deming
taught on statistical management methods, in 1993.”

Resource: Feed Icons

We were talking about the importance of the “little orange icon” in class last night, so I decided to play around with the “text boxes” in the WordPress widget barn. Feed Icons is a great place to download the RSS icon, and they provide code snippets as well. Enjoy!

Resource: Visual CV

22 April 2008 at 8:37 am (Personal Technology, Resources) (, )

I stumbled upon (not with the software) this CV (I would not have my cellphone number public like this) and thus was introduced to Visual CV (warning: big annoying Flash promo). From their about pages:

The VisualCV makes a traditional resume come alive with video, pictures and a portfolio of your best work samples and other supporting documents. Informational pop-ups provide background data on the companies you’ve worked at and the colleges you’ve attended. You can securely share different versions with your own network of employers, colleagues and friends, and control who sees what.

You can create a similar resume/portfolio with WordPress, but you need CSS fluency (your own or someone else’s) to tweak WordPress templates. The permissions part, that’s harder with WordPress — either the portfolio (or certain pages) is public or it isn’t.

I’m surprised a site like LinkedIn hasn’t already offered the eye candy that’s in this site (multi-media, work samples, etc.).
