Updates to Word Salad
I should talk about an update to my blog also. I’ll do that in my next post.
The Angel of Death – Poetry by Jean Jones
I just published a pdf version of this collection with three recent additions by Jean Jones to his long running collection of poetry. Jean had asked me over a week ago to do this. Well, it’s finally available on Word Salad. You can find it by going here and then selecting it from the list. The heading to this paragraph has a link that goes right to the publication. It is in pdf format for printing or download. Perhaps there will be a second edition with more poems and maybe some kind of additional material.
A New Look for Word Salad
Perhaps we even need a new name for the site… not really. The site is named Word Salad. We have a quarterly poetry publication called Word Salad Poetry Magazine (we also have a quarterly of Haiku called Haiku Ramblings). You will also find a few back issues of Word Salad Poetry Magazine in our archives. Actually, we only have the poetry from the past issues available. Much of the rest of the content was duplicated with each edition. Word Salad as a website is larger now. We publish much more on the website. As noted in the above paragraph, we have numerous poetry collections available on the site.
In addition, I see this as becoming a community site with various resources. I have installed a wiki, similar to what you see on wikipedia.org. I called it Wordopedia for Word Salad’s wiki. We just articles to be written for this. I’ve installed “Community Builder” to make the site into a “Community” website. Users can enter a fuller profile and many more features will be available for interacting with others. More on this later.
I have tried to include many of the exciting features of today’s Social Web. As a web designer/developer professional working today, I have to take advantage of all these resources and it only seems natural to share what I am learning.
For social image file sharing (sharing pictures) I use flickr.com and use that to host images that are displayed on Word Salad. My home page, as it were, on flickr is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brucewhealton/ and my profile on flickr is here: http://www.flickr.com/people/brucewhealton/.
For social bookmarking I use del.icio.us and my page on delicious is here: http://del.icio.us/brucewhealton
