Reasons You Should Add Streaming Audio to Your Website
November 8, 2008
There has never been a better time to add streaming audio to your website. Doing so puts you ahead of the game. Below are several reasons to add streaming audio to your website and put yourself ahead of everyone else.
Adding streaming audio to a website is simple: No longer do you have to be a technical whiz kid to add streaming audio to your pages. In the old days you had to be well versed in Flash or some other hard to learn software program. Now, IT FACTORY offers an easy to use software tutorial named Audio Player Pro that isrecently out in the market now.
Inexpensive: No longer are the costs of audio out of reach for the average web master. You no longer need a special server for audio. The software is very affordable and the gear it takes to record professional quality audio is at an all time low.
Ahead of the game: Adding streaming audio to your site should put you ahead of if those that are not using streaming audio. Streaming audio is cutting edge technology that is new enough that people still seem to like it.
Remember better: Most people comprehend audio better than the written page. If the percentage your customer remembers is higher when he listens to your audio it stands to reason you stand a better chance of getting your customer to take the action you want him to take.
Adds credibility: Streaming audio adds credibility to your website. People usually prefer to do business with someone they know and trust. Streaming audio helps your customer to get to know you. They will get to know your voice and that should boost your conversion rates.
As our featured product and early Christmas gift for you, we offer Audio Player Pro at a very low price! You may visit IT FACTORY’s website at www.itfactory.co.nz for more information. Hurry and grab a copy now!
Improve Your Workflow with SharePoint Server 2007
October 31, 2008
What is a workflow?
A workflow can be roughly defined as a schedule of tasks which make up our daily working routine. These can be everything from administrative tasks to conversing with clients. In order to work as efficiently as possible, systems can be put in place to automate a lot of the processes that take up time in our daily working routine.
With the advent of the computer, we were sold the vision of never having to lift a finger again as machines catered to our every whim. This vision, sadly, never fully materialised. Although computers don’t carry out all of our daily work, they have had an undeniable effect on the modern workplace and have simplified many of the working processes which previously took up so much time and effort. One could, for example, look at the impact of spreadsheets in saving the effort of manually calculating figures.
SharePoint Server 2007
As technology has advanced, so too have the innovations which help us in our everyday lives. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 is the latest of these innovations, helping workers to collaborate effectively on tasks and projects. SharePoint includes a component called ‘workflow foundation’ which provides the backbone for all of its applications. This appears in 3 forms:
- Readymade workflows built in to the product (suitable for those with limited computer literacy).
- Workflows which can be customised using SharePoint designer – similar to Microsoft FrontPage (suitable for the moderately computer-literate).
- Workflows including custom applications which can be programmed using visual studio and the .NET framework. (suitable for advanced users)
The great thing about these three options is that they cater to every level of computer competency, beginners, intermediate and advanced. These options offer organisations the opportunity to tailor workflows around the specific requirements of workers and to adapt to the ever changing needs of the modern workplace.
For those looking to implement SharePoint, there are 2 options. The system requires a dedicated server, which can either be housed within the organisation itself, or outsourced to a SharePoint Server hosting provider. The cost of Server equipment and the associated maintenance means that for many businesses, hosting a SharePoint server themselves is simply not a viable option. Using a SharePoint hosting provider is cost effective and takes away the additional responsibility of maintenance, which usually requires employing a full-time member of staff.
All this and other additional useful information can all e learned upon buying our newest tutorial – Sharepoint Designer 2007 Basic. Just log in to www.itfactory.co.nz and enjoy our special holiday discounts!
Useful Tips and Tricks in Learning Photoshop for Beginners
October 23, 2008
USEFUL PHOTOSHOP TIPS BROUGHT TO YOU BY IT FACTORY (NZ) Ltd.
Are you just starting out with Photoshop and quite interested about it? If yes, then you have landed on the right page. In behalf of IT FACTORY NZ, we are going tp present to you a list of 10 common techniques that will improve your Photoshop skills. So better get ready and learn.
1. Moving layers with the Control key
You don’t need to activate the Move tool to move layers around. Simply hold down the Control key (for Windows users) or the Command key (Mac users) and click and drag on your layer with the mouse.
2. Hiding the Palettes with the Tab key
Are the palettes getting in the way? You can hide them temporarily just by hitting the Tab key. To bring them back, press the Tab key again.
3. Selecting all pixels on a layer
To select all the opaque pixels on a layer (as opposed to using “Select All”, which selects the whole layer), hold down the Control key (Windows) or Command key (Mac), and click on the layer in the Layers Palette
4. Double-click to open documents
To open a document in Photoshop, you don’t need to reach for the File > Open menu option or even press Control+O – you can just double-click on the grey Photoshop window background!
5. Dragging layers between documents
You can copy a layer from one document to another by clicking on it in the Layers palette and dragging it across to the second document window:
6. Use Layer Sets
If you’re using Photoshop 6 or higher, check out Layer Sets. These let you organize your layers into folders – very useful if you have lots of layers in a document! To create a new Layer Set, click on the folder icon at the bottom of the Layers palette, then drag layers on top of a layer set to add them to the set
7. Full screen mode
If you’re working on a large image such as a photo, you can maximize the available editing area by pressing the F key to toggle between a full screen mode with and without menu bar, and normal editing mode. If you also use tip number 2 above, and the tool shortcut keys, you can do a lot of your work without a menu or palette in sight!
8. Nudging
You can get precise control over the position of your layers by using the arrow keys on the keyboard to nudge the layer around. Hold down the Control key (Windows) or the Command key (Mac) and use the up, down, left and right arrows to move the layer 1 pixel at a time. To move the layer by 10 pixels at a time, hold down the Shift key as well.
9. Choosing colours quickly
Press I to bring up the Eyedropper tool, then click on a colour in your image to make that colour the foreground colour. Press the ALT key and click to make the colour the background colour instead.
You can also press the D key to reset the foreground and background colours to the default (black and white), and the X key to swap the foreground and background colours.
10. Keeping to straight lines
You can often constrain movement of the mouse to the nearest 45-degree or 90-degree angle by holding down the Shift key while you click and drag with the mouse. This works on tools such as the Paintbrush Tool, Line Tool and Move Tool. Great for drawing straight lines!
With these 10 simple guides, you will be learning more about photoshop as if you are an experienced photoshop artist.

LEARNING SOMETHING BEYOND
August 30, 2008
Technological advancement invades the world in an instant. A lot of modern facilities and equipments are being sold and introduced to the market globally. This rapid growth and pervasiveness all lies in one word – the use of computer. Talking about this increadible machine makes people often wonder how to explore and maximize their use of this product. I guess I found an answer…
Learn different software tutorials! With this in mind, you’ll make use of your time wisely and you will learn things you never thought you will. Some people think that learning computer softwares like Php, Adobe, and Photoshop is intended for “techie” people only or those who spend almost half of their lives in front of the computer.However, as I go along and do some researches, I found out that this perception is definitely wrong. Learning computer software tutorials is easy only if you know what products to choose and where to buy them. Consider Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 tutorial as an example. At first heard, you wil say “no I can’t do it” or probably “this is not for me” but have you tried it? Did you know that it will only take 6 hours of your time to study this tutorial? In such a very short span, you will surely learn everything about the basic elements of adobe photoshop. That’s how simple it works like all other softwares you are familiar with!
Now that you know a thing to maximize the use of your computer, why not give it a try? Choose different software tutorials and later on you will realize how it amazingly changed your life.
HAPPY LEARNING
