<a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> has been getting my attention lately. Pinterest allows you to graphically bookmark or "pin" photos and videos on a website and organize them into folders called "boards". The social networking aspect comes where you follow other's boards and "repin" content to your own boards. Users can also surf a content stream of different predetermined categories such as diy crafts and food and drink. The most popular Pinterest account belongs to <a href="http://pinterest.com/pinterestpower/" target="_blank">Power of Pinterest Book</a> with 28,000 followers. That's a pretty paltry in comparison to the most popular twitter or facebook<br />
<br />
After launching in 2010, Pinterest has managed to capture and hold onto a strongly female demographic. According to <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/02/25/pinterest-user-demographics/" target="_blank">Mashable</a>, 68% of Pinterest users are female with 27.4% of the all users in the coveted 24-34 age range. If you are a business that sells products for women then you should absolutely implement Pinterest in a big way on your website - your competition is.<br />
<br />
The biggest reason that a business should actively engage in Pinterest is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlink" target="_blank">inbound links</a>. Every time someone pins or repins your content from one of their friends an inbound link is created. Search engine ranking gives a lot to weight to inbound links. <br />
<br />
Pinterest integration can be incredibly easy to implement but must rely on two separate and distinct methods of generating Pinterest interest. The first method relies on the business creating their own pins. A "look at me" kind of approach. You simply pin images from your site to your boards and then hope and pray that people will follow you. To add this to your website you just add a <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/" target="_blank">button</a>. <br />
<table><tbody>
<tr> <td><a href="http://pinterest.com/fenderman/"><img alt="Follow Me on Pinterest" height="28" src="http://passets-lt.pinterest.com/images/about/buttons/follow-me-on-pinterest-button.png" width="169" /></a></td> <td><a href="http://pinterest.com/fenderman/"><img align="left" alt="Follow Me on Pinterest" height="28" src="http://passets-lt.pinterest.com/images/about/buttons/pinterest-button.png" width="80" /></a></td> <td><a href="http://pinterest.com/fenderman/"><img alt="Follow Me on Pinterest" height="60" src="http://passets-lt.pinterest.com/images/about/buttons/big-p-button.png" width="60" /></a></td> <td><a href="http://pinterest.com/fenderman/"><img alt="Follow Me on Pinterest" height="16" src="http://passets-ec.pinterest.com/images/about/buttons/small-p-button.png" width="16" /></a></td> </tr>
</tbody> </table>
Here's a group of buttons that can be embedded on a website. These allow the user to follow specific accounts not unlike a "follow me on facebook" button. These, in fact, are buttons to my account.<br />
<br />
The second method is dependent upon visitors to your website to pin content for themselves. This "look at them" is a far better means of communicating your message. You can also add a button to a web page or a blog post to enable a user to create a pin and add it to one of their boards. Pinterest has a really effective <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/" target="_blank">code generator</a> on their site to make it easy to add this functionality simply. Here's a button that pins content on this blog post to your Pinterest account. <a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjohndemke.blogspot.com%2F2013%2F02%2Fenabling-pinterest-on-your-website.html&media=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-kJ94p7J6eaE%2FURGtNIKZ5bI%2FAAAAAAAAATY%2FqGFvmVL3QPs%2Fs1600%2FEnabling-Pinterest-on-Your-.jpg"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" /></a><br />
<br />
Users can also take "pinning" into their own hands by adding <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/" target="_blank">"Pin It"</a> functionality to their browsers. This is the option that most appeals to me because currently the vast majority of things I want to pin are not Pinterest enabled on websites.<br />
<br />
Over the course of a few months of pinning I have noticed a few problems that make pinning difficult. When trying to pin an image I get the error messages stating that there is no usable image on the pin. The fixes are not easy. They require thoughtful web design which is an art itself. Here's a list of best practices I came up with for making your website Pinterest friendly.<br />
<ol>
<li>You <u>must have an image</u> or a video. Pinterest cannot graphically pin something that is not graphical. Pinterest will recognize media from upload sites such as YouTube and flickr so don't be afraid to embed content from the cloud.</li>
<li>Don't use <u>incompatible image types</u>. Pinterest can't pull an image from a Flash image gallery. Manually test pin all of you images to see if they work.</li>
<li>Don't use <u>too many images</u> on a single page. Make it simple to pin. Don't have 25+ images come up when someone wants to pin a page. Pinterest pulls every image on the page including headers and footers. One good one is the best. Having an individual item on a page as opposed to a table full of items makes it easier too. Not only does limiting the number of images on your web page help with pinning, it is good web design in general.</li>
<li><u>Avoid filler jpegs</u>. That white jpeg you are using as a space saver because you don't know CSS will show up too. </li>
<li>Don't use <u>images that are too big</u> or too small. Some images don't frame the subject well especially if you are using your jpeg to eat up white space in your design.</li>
<li><u>Go square or vertica</u>l with your images. I noticed this particularly on the mobile app. Long, thin, horizontal images look squashed and unflattering on Pinterest.</li>
<li>Always use <u>alternate text</u> for each image. Pinterest pulls the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_attribute" target="_blank">alt text</a> of your image as the description. Otherwise the user will have to fill in the details of your product and might get it wrong. Include the product name, your company name and the price. This will also help with repins of your products as all the pertinent details show up on mobile devices.</li>
</ol>
Pinterest is definitely growing in popularity. It is becoming a visual facebook. The next big sector of growth for Pinterest will be with men. Find a reason for men to Pinterest and you'll make a lot of money.<br />

Since there are so many different types of FCPX plugins I decided to concentrate this post on plugins that emulate effects caused organincally by a cameras and lenses. Also knowns as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-camera_effect" target="_blank"><span dir="auto">in-camera effects</span></a>, these effects used to be the cause of something going wrong in the production process. Filmmakers eventually began adopting these errors in artistic ways. These lighting effects include light leaks, lens flares, glows and rays. This is in no way an exhaustive list of all in-camera effect plugins. If you see some that I have missed please comment below with a link. <br />

Every frame of every movie you have ever seen has been meticulously tweaked by a color timer. Even such Hollywood notables as <i>Howard the Duck</i>, <i>From Justin to Kelly</i> and the perennial classic <i>Showgirls</i> had the great color timer talents of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0573944/" target="_blank">Dennis McNeill</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0701308/" target="_blank">Bob Putynkowski</a> and <a href="http://www.tcmuk.tv/movie_database_results.php?action=participant&id=1412630&afiId=0" target="_blank">Jim Schurmann</a><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">, respectively. </span></span>Money that was better spent than on the writers.<br />
<br />
Color timing or grading is mostly a corrective measure. Continuity is lost when a sequence of poorly timed shots are edited together. Imagine beautiful park-like setting with saturated greens a blues. An attractive couple is having a picnic on red and white checked tablecloth. They are truly in love. Now imagine that every time there is a close-up of the hunky lead actor the image is desaturated with heavy, dark shadows. You've just turned a love story into a psychological thriller.<br />
<br />
In typical productions, shots in the same sequence may have been captured hours, days, weeks or even months apart from each other. On exterior shoots sunlight can change minute by minute. Other factors that effect the look of a particular shot may include different lighting, exposure, lenses or even cameras. When color timing is done well, shots within an edit become seamless. Like they were literally shot one right after in real time.<br />
<br />
The real skill of the color timer is using color treatments to develop a mood for a particular scene. Imagine <i>Pleasantville, Lord of the Rings</i> or <i>Saving Private Ryan</i> without it. With skillful color timing we, as moviegoers, are quite at home in a small black and white town in middle America, a cavern filled with Orcs or a Normandy battlefield.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/originallotr.jpg/" target="_blank" title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting"><img border="0" height="485" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img837/5162/originallotr.jpg" width="575" /></a><br />
<br />
Speaking of <i>Saving Private Ryan</i>, Steven Spielberg's go-to color timer is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0334391/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1" target="_blank">Dale Grahn</a>. He created the subtle differences in the movie that intensified the battles and lifted the lighter scenes. His vast filmography is quite impressive and envious. Working on such notable films as <i>Valkyrie, Munich, Bug's Life </i>and <i>The Nightmare Before Christma</i>s. Dale is a giant in the film industry. Wouldn't it be great to intern with Dale for a few months to learn his secrets? His magic? We could turn our footage into visual gold.<br />
<br />
Now we can. Dale, working with <a href="http://www.crumplepop.com/" target="_blank">CrumplePop</a>, has recently developed a color timing tutorial application for the iPad that takes you through all of the tricks and artistry Dale has accumulated over his years in the industry. This app, titled <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dale-grahn-color/id584568903?mt=8" target="_blank">Dale Grahn Color</a>, is available through iTunes and retails for $3.99.<br />
<br />
Controls on the app are simple. RGB and CMY sliders and controls for adjusting saturation and density. No trackballs or control points on a response curve. <br />
<br />
<img title="Practice and learn techniques" alt="Practice and learn techniques" src="http://www.dalegrahncolor.com/wp-content/themes/Sinapp/img/iPad-B-forest_girls_010.png"><br />
<br />
You learn directly by viewing the 20 video tutorials of Dale working with an image. You can also challenge your skills by matching a shot with a master. There is instant scoring of your tests to see how far you are from master. Pretty cool. You can also upload your own image and time it to your heart's desire then post it for your friends to see. <br />
<br />

<br />
If you've always wanted to update your color timing skills and hadn't yet found an easier way, Dale Grahn Color is the way to go. It's as easy as pausing Words With Friends on your iPad.<br />

Also known as metadata, metatags, or simply tags, keywords are the little slices of code that we use to define our site kind of like the old personal ads in the Nickel Nick. "SWF BBW 42YO NS ISO FS P SAM 40-55YO for FTA. LTR ONLY NO CD, MBL or LDR. 420 OK." Search engines use these descriptors to classify and rank our sites just like randy singles perused the personals on a Friday night. <br />
<br />
Back in the day, SEO companies used various nefarious tactics to artificially bump up search rankings but Google and others have become wise to these practices and now ban sites using them. Just like using the descriptor SBF on your personal when you are actually SBTG, don't misrepresent your site. It will only cause long pauses in conversation at the Starbuck's when you meet up. Check out this article on <a href="http://www.netmagazine.com/features/google-seo-tricks-will-get-you-blacklisted" target="_blank">banned SEO tactics</a>. It explains that going crazy with keywords is a sure-fire way of getting your site ignored. Make sure your keywords actually pertain to your site no matter how much you'd like to throw in "sexy coeds" or "jello wrestling". It simply won't help.<br />
<br />
So the question is how many keywords do you need to be effective and not put you on a blacklist. In the old personal ads, you only had a column inch of print space to sell your desperate self. On the web you can have millions of keywords. You aren't limited to simple classifiers like HWP. You can be of average build, tall enough for your body, not overweight, adequately framed and of moderate stature all at the same time. A good starting point as to the number of keywords you'll need is to compare your site with your competitors. One of the best tools for gauging your keyword strategy is <a href="http://semrush.com/" target="_blank">SEMrush.com</a>. This site is a gold mine of information about your own site and your competition. As an online marketer you should definitely spend a few hours on this site. It will open your eyes as to how search engines perceive your site and suggest ways to increase your visibility.<br />
<br />
The best place to start regarding keywords on SEMrush is the Organic Search tab. Here, clicking on the Competitors button, you can see how you're stacking up. Generally speaking, the greater number of keywords you have the higher your ranking. The number of keywords <b>must</b> reflect the quantitly of your product or service line. If you are an online retailer and you sell ten products then having 5k keywords is ridiculous. But if you have 10k products in your line then having 5k keywords is totally inadequate. Other factors are also involved in ranking but pretty much it's that easy - add more meaningful words, get more hits. <br />
<br />
Although the way we are ranked is partly out of our control, how WE define ourselves is totally within our control. Don't be afraid to add "VGL Domme D SWF SOH WLTM Sub J M P TS 65YO+ for B&D" to your tag list if that truly reflects your site. And frankly who want's to be home alone on a Friday night.John Demkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963158772222343528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483943337928393273.post-10156048470693883032013-01-01T22:32:00.002-08:002013-01-01T22:32:22.626-08:00Wings in the PoplarsThe poplar trees in my backyard are the tallest in the neighborhood. Right before dusk birds flock to their branches. Here is a triptych I created of a few frames I captured. I shot it with my Nikon D60 through a 70-200mm zoom at 1/125th of a second at f14. I shot at a slow shutter speed to blur the wings. <br />

Many businesses have been founded promising higher Google search rankings to greater or lesser success. A common SEO strategy is to add search terms to a website. Part of the code that comprises a website is hidden. Called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_element" target="_blank">meta elements</a>, they contains information about copyright, owner, publisher, a description of the website and search terms known as tags.<br />
<br />
The meta tag strategy is fairly simple - add meaningful tags to your website and the big search engines will find your site and rank you accordingly. Then customers will crash your server with an avalanche of sales because you are listed at the top of a search page. Because, frankly, we know our customers are are just too lazy to hit the next button on the bottom of the page. <br />
<br />
As I was trying to implement this killer new technique for exploding my monthly web traffic I noticed a huge omission on Gooble's Blogger, IT HAS NO TOOLS FOR META TAGS!!! Descriptions, yes. Tags, no. Check out this image from my blogger settings:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johndemke/8322837025/" title="Where's the Meta Tags? by John Demke, on Flickr"><img alt="Where's the Meta Tags?" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8215/8322837025_903fba15e6.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
After doing a search for meta tags I found Google's own <a href="http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=79812" target="_blank">stab</a> at explaining the complexity of writing this type of code. Their video makes watching a bowling tournament on television a viable alternative. What Google needs is a dynamic, exciting host, not another passionless computer nerd droning about coding. <br />
<br />
Anyway, further down the search page I found this site that can generate the HTML code you need. Now I'm not much of a web developer, frankly I know barely enough to add <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link" target="_blank">links</a> and make text <b>bold</b>. But I do know how to cut and paste. And that's all it takes to add meta elements. Blogger Tricks' <a href="http://seotools.bloggertricks.com/free/online-meta-tags-generator-tool/" target="_blank">Free Online Meta Tags Generator Tool</a> is pure web gold. It easily does what I wouldn't take the time to learn in HTML code.<br />
<br />
Simply enter your title, description, keywords, author, owner and copyright into the text fields and hit "continue" and it kicks outs beautiful HTML code. Now here comes the copy and paste part. Copy the code then open Blogger's Dashboard and navigate to the Template controls. Then click on the "edit HTML" button. Now you're ready to start coding. <br />
<br />
Let's find within the Blogger code the line where we need to paste our new code into. Hit command+f on your Mac keyboard or control+f on a PC. A text box should appear. Enter the first few characters of the line below and hit enter. This should take you to where you need to paste the new code. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johndemke/8324284008/" title="Where to Insert Meta Elements by John Demke, on Flickr"><img alt="Where to Insert Meta Elements" height="53" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8362/8324284008_75bc683d4b.jpg" width="460" /></a><br />
<br />
Set your cursor at the end of this line within the Blogger code and hit return. Now paste your meta elements code on the new line. It'll look similar to this:<br />
<br />

<br />
Make sure you hit the "save template" button and you're done. The search engine gods will rain hit upon hit on your site. You will now be wealthy and famous. Now go in peace; the avalanche begins momentarily.John Demkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963158772222343528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483943337928393273.post-67405538541474263442012-12-21T13:53:00.000-08:002012-12-21T13:53:01.023-08:00Fender Tweed Seamless BackgroundHere's a seamless background tile I created in Photoshop.

It's hard to believe that I wasn't stranded in a forest somewhere. I shot it with my trusty Nikon D60 with a 70-200 mm zoom.<br />

I shot this over the course of two hours one afternoon on the Cheney Campus of EWU. The <a href="http://www.ewu.edu/cale/programs/theatre.xml" target="_blank">EWU Theatre</a> department really came through by providing the five student actors for the piece. This is my take on an action movie trailer. The music was purchased from <a href="http://audiojungle.net/" target="_blank">audiojungle</a>.

Here is a video I created for Eastern Washington University's MBA program. The focus of their marketing campaign is to highlight regional employers that have been successful hiring EWU MBA graduates. I shot it with a Canon 5D MkII with a Canon 28-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f4 lenses.
