Penzu Online Journal - 1 views

shared by Fiona Ferguson on 10 Apr 12 - No Cached

    I posted this site for everyone who would like to keep a private Journal - electronically! The site gives you a realistic, "leather bound" journal with lined paper in it which you can use for notes, thoughts, feelings, lists, story ideas or anything else that you would like to write about. You can keep it private or you can share it if you wish. It's saved in the "Cloud" so wherever you are, there it is! It's free for a good basic version and $19 per year for the full blown "Pro" version with all the bells and whistles. Enjoy!

    Fiona, this site is awesome! I have already started my own journal and am considering going pro. Thanks for finding and sharing this site.

OpenOffice - 0 views

  •  
    This post is for the person, like me who has used the same program (Word) for years and is looking to expand their horizons! OpenOffice.org 3 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages.

    I am using this in place of the power point template that Sherri posted for one of our final projects. It is a greaat place. Easy to use, lots of choices. I have an old computer and don't have power point so this was a great option.

    This is the most comprehensive travel writing program I have found online. It's very affordable ($350) for a 12 week intensive course with a great community of fellow students and alumni. I plan to complete this program very soon. They also have travel photography and travel film making courses.

    I posted this as a tool to help fellow writers organize and plan their writing. Storyist is a great way to begin planting the seeds of a novel, short story or screenplay. Sometimes getting your ideas organized is the hardest part of writing. This software can help. Do you have a story to tell? Storyist helps you track your plot, characters, and locations and keeps all of your writing organized and accessible so you can focus on your story.

vRecorder - 0 views

    The vRecorder reminded me of all the movies wherein someone had a secret recording device in their pocket to frame the bad guy. This is a tool I imagined existed, but now seeing it in action, its usefullness to the journalist (specifically taping phone interviews and framing bad guys) is limitless.

A message to the youth in radio . . . wherever they are - 1 views

Are messages like this an alarm because there are so many fewer young people entering radio because of the lack of entry level positions? http://www.audiographics.com/agd/042612-1.htm

Embracing social media for radio stations - 1 views

This was a crucial idea as social media was developing when I was in radio years ago. I'd say it's even more crucial now to stay connected to listeners as audiences shrink and splinter!
