Hey this is a pretty cool addition to the Youtube video player. If you want to link to a specific section of a Youtube video in minutes and seconds, you can now add that to the end of the link, so if someone clicks the link the video will start playing at a certain point. I tested this out with my demolition derby video…click here and it will start right at the monster truck portion 24 seconds in. Here is how you do it.
To specify a point, append a tag to the end of your video link with the following syntax: “#t=1m45s” (you can change the numbers before the ‘m’ and ’s’ to edit the minutes and seconds, respectively.

Alex was recently walking about with a friend of hers here in Portland when she spotted this yard oddity. It appeared that the entire front yard of this house had been bombarded by flying forks! We were perplexed as to why anyone would decorate their yard on purpose in such a manner so I did a quick search, and apparently this is a somewhat popular prank to play on someone around the time of evening ground freezing! You stick all the forks in prong side first and then when the ground freezes obviously they are rather difficult to remove…My initial thoughts were it just looked pretty cool! I am not sure who these people pissed off, but it sure looks like they got pretty solidly pranked.

So you’ve just had me design you a nice looking dynamic website for your small business here in Portland or wherever your company resides…now what? The next step is you need to market and track ad campaigns and conversions! I’ve been using Google Analytics on a number of client websites, to track traffic obviously, and more recently to target conversions. Some of the newer features in Analytics are really great for figuring out just how visitors arrived, what page they entered on, where your traffic ends up going, as well as numerous other details. This is obviously important as it allows you to figure out which pages are successful, and which could use some sprucing up to make them maybe more appealing. Best of all, this application is absolutely free, and if you really want to get into it you can even use adwords to promote yourself as the two applications are integrated almost seamlessly. Check out this informative article to learn more about these exciting topics like Goals and Funnels!
