Does your blog ping?

Pings are a quick way to spread your blogs posts around the internet. A ping is a notification that is sent to a website. You have probably gotten them before when someone links your blog. There is a long list of Ping services that aggregate lists of new blog posts or website content.

There are several ways to get you URL on these lists. Spending an hour to sign your blog on to some update services will give you an edge on search engine page rank.

In your WordPress blog :  to Settings > Writing >; and scroll down to Update Services. You will see "rpc.pingomatic.com/" in the box. Take a minute and add the below list into the box to bulk up your update notifications.

rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2
ping.feedburner.com/
api.moreover.com/RPC2

pinger.blogflux.com/rpc/
services.newsgator.com/ngws/xmlrpcping.aspx'
blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates

feedsky.com/api/RPC2

For Blogger users, you're SOL for the automatic notifications. It all has to be done manually or through an external service. I hear there is a script in the works to add in.

Scott McGregor :: Broadcom Photo shoot

Can you really control your corporate branding and look? I know the Broadcom Corporation is.

When Broadcom hired us to produce 2 portraits to have for editorial use in the future it seems as if the MarCom Director was thinking his answer if asked was going to be absolutely yes. If some magazine out there was going to use a picture of the Broadcom CEO it was going to be a specific look approved by this brand steward.

Owl Foundation Production

We were commissioned to shoot portraits for the new Owl Foundation website. It was a cloudy day but Nick Marley and I brought in the sunshine. I absolutely love shooting  CEOs and Presidents of companies they always see the value of a good portrait. They always have great stories and interesting commentary on current business conditions.
In this picture is Greg Burden, really good guy to meet. His company, The Owl Companies have been around since 1919. The rocks in the picture came from his quarry, the building was covered with them. A rock building, unusual for a building in Irvine.

Little Company of Mary Photo Shoot

Another feel good day. We ended up shooting the Healthy Kids Van and some new nuclear imaging equipment.

As always working with these folks at LCM is an experience full of laughter and fast action. We skipped a shot on our list due to the immediate patient need of one of the new pieces bought with the donation dollars raised by the Foundation.

This is what we at Pencilbox do best, help our clients help others. I have a great job.

I Hope Medical Van at Saddleback Memorial

Kathleen and I went out to Saddleback Memorial Hospital in San Clemente this week and shot for the iHope Foundation. Our main objective was to help build a library of images to help promote the work the foundation does for the underinsured and the homeless. This is Tim, I liked him. His smile was big and carefree but his eyes told another story.




This Doc was running around very busy but we stopped her anyway. I shot 12 frames and walked with 12 users.




This little girl was also very busy. Just like this little one we all walked away feeling better. I think I even saw Kathleen smile once.
