Blog and online portfolio for web designer Sarah Tebo

I recently wrote a blog post for my employer’s website about Amazon Associates, the internet retailer’s program for site owners to make money by referring customers to Amazon. I use it on this site (for example, the “recently read” links in the footer) as well as at my other site, Curvy List.

I follow more than 100 people on Twitter. Some are friends, some are celebrities, some are businesses and some defy description (I’m looking at you, S*** My Dad Says). While I enjoy reading all their tweets, there is a handful of accounts that are always entertaining, an that I really look forward to reading. There are several celebrities on the list, but they’re not all famous folks.

Okay so this is massively outdated. The Webby Awards, which recognize online excellence, were held in early June. Here’s a listing of this year’s winners. What’s great about the Webbys is that everyone is limited to five words in their acceptance speeches. No exceptions. Here are some of my favorites from this year’s event.

Some of the winners were announced recently in the Georgia Press Association Better Newspaper Contest, and yours truly was involved in a couple winning entries. The Rome News-Tribune, where I am Web editor, competes in division B, for papers with daily circulation of 15,000 – 40,000.

I recently finished working with a client on a project that had a lot of requirements. She wanted to be able to share videos online, with minimal fuss and no technical skill, and wanted the videos to be accessible only to those she wanted to see them. It was a pretty obvious choice to use WordPress, because of its ease of use. Here’s a list of the other applications and plugins I used to set up their site.
