Wondershare PDF Editor for Windows is an innovative tool for users to edit, convert, and annotate PDF files. Different from those so-called “PDF Editors”, which only work with notes or limited page contents, Wondershare PDF Editor allows users to directly edit all the content of the PDF files in any language. What’s more, it also gives users the ability to edit and reuse PDF contents in Word by converting PDF to Word. Marking and annotating PDF files are also very easy with Wondershare PDF Editor.

It’s so easy to use and packed with features, I’ve recently been given a chance to give the software a test run and I do have to say that it is extremely useful, it’s easy to use and isn’t full of those complicated options that other PDF Editors usually baffle you with.

Wondershare PDF Editor Features:

  • Split a 500-page PDF file into single-page PDF files within 1 minute.
  • Allow users to combine multiple PDF files into one flexibly and quickly.
  • You can set the properties and security for the merged PDF file.
  • Split PDF file to multiple PDF files by specific page ranges at one time.

Nowadays, businesses don’t have to store their documents in huge cabinets which take up a lot of office space. More and more businesses are now storing, editing and sharing their documents on the internet. Online storage has many advantages compared to conventional storage methods. This includes cost savings, increased productivity and efficiency, convenience, protecting information from unauthorized people and reduction of paper waste.

Here are several reasons why every business should consider making use of online document storage.

Easy and fast sharing and collaboration

Being able to share documents easily and fast is very important for any business. Having information stored online can greatly enhance workflow since it enables employees to view, share and edit data much faster than it would take with paper documents. Online storage therefore is important for speeding up the collaboration and sharing process.

So there I was reading through my stack of emails when I came across my Twitter stats for the week from @TheCounter, so as usual I started reading the email and came across something that caught my eye, a way of having your own Twitter infographic. Now this sounded like fun.

Thanks to this Infographic service that not only allows you to create an infographic from your Twitter as a form of face OFF with a random Twitter Celebrity but it also has a big collection of other themes for you to choose from, you can also make an infographic from your Facebook, now how cool is that ;)

I went for the Twitterize Yourself, which for me is my overall favourite after trying the other themes, after tweeking the options for a more personal look of my character in the infographic, I hit the “Generate Infographic” button.

HTML5 has grown hugely in popularity over the last year, which isn’t particularly surprising given the level of functionality and interactivity offered by the language. You can create hugely impressive websites using HTML5, something that was previously only possible using Adobe’s Flash, which whilst being brilliantly effective in terms of visual appeal, is a poor choice if you’re looking for a website that can be properly crawled and indexed by search engines. Not only that, but Flash isn’t supported by many mobile browsers (that won’t be news to you if you’re an iPhone owner), something that’s crucial given the massive rise in mobile browsing all over the world.

So what’s the current state of HTML5? Which browsers support it? How many websites are using it? Web design agency Pixel Design Studio have gone some way to answering these questions with this awesome HTML5 infographic, entitled ‘I’ve Seen The Future, It’s In My Browser’:

If you’ve read Blazing Minds lately you will have seen the post I did about a new web series called Twisted Showcase, now the first episode has been out, it’s time to let you know my thoughts on Episode 1 Peter and Paul staring Torchwood actor Gareth David Lloyd.

Twisted Showcase – Episode 1 Peter And Paul

Now I knew from the start after seeing the preview trailer for Twisted Showcase that the episodes were going to be a bit weird and bizarre, but to be honest, that’s the thing that really grabbed my attention to start off with.

So here we are with Episode 1 Peter and Paul, a rather strange start to the series with Gareth David Lloyd sitting in his flat, when the phone begins to ring, but hang on, it’s not the phone, it’s his hand!!! See I told you it was strange.

What we have now is a conversion between Peter and Paul via the “hand phone”, it had me gripped and it was so nice to see something so unusual and strangely funny (that could be my mad sense of humour) that I’ve now watched the Episode several times, credit where credit is due, this is some really freaky stuff and this is just episode 1!

Hosting is a major concern for many web owners, especially those who are planning to sell services or products online. If you are searching for a web host for your ecommerce website, the following are some of the things you need to keep in mind.

The quality of hosting

When it comes to hosting e-commerce sites, the quality of service is very vital. Since your business depends on your site, you need to avoid hosts with slow connection speeds and that are prone to crashing. Such problems will cost your dearly since customers will get frustrated and they may end up going elsewhere. You should also think about how much data transfer and data storage you’re your site will need. Make sure your host is able to meet your requirement.

Secondly, find out if the host is in a position to support e-commerce software such as advertising packages, shopping carts, SSL certificates and whatever else is required for carrying out online sales and transactions. There are some hosts who offer such software as part of the hosting package. However, some allow customers to upload their own.

Security

Security is a crucial concern for online businesses. Since customers will be using their private and sensitive data on your site, they need to be assured that their information will be safe. You need to find a host who can offer SSL, which is basically a type of online encryption for digital signatures and sales transactions. This will assure customers that your site is a genuine online business. Without being assured of such security features, many people will be reluctant to transact on your site. The level of security offered was my biggest concern when searching for a host for my site which offers midphase coupons and ANhosting discounts.

I recently got an email about a new series starting staring Gareth David Lloyd (Ianto Jones from Torchwood), so suffice to say I was intrigued to find out more about this new series and when it was going to start.

Are You Ready For, Twisted Showcase?

Twisted Showcase is a new eerie anthology web series with a mixture of drama, comedy, drama, psychological thriller and self-contained horror and seems to be like a modern day version the Twilight Zone and will be shown on the internet in 5 short films at the Twisted Showcase website.
