hehe.. this is so cool 😀

We’re working and working to bring this online as soon as possible.

We’ve integrated the new interface elements, as well as the new Levels in cif2.net

And today when I checked out my blog, I saw that I reached Level 7 and I’m a New Cif ! 😀 hehe.. can’t wait to get to Fire Cif

Fire Cifs rock 😉

oh, and yeah ! My blog changes a lot lately, because I’m still testing out the new “Cif2 Themes” module and I want to make sure it works 100%, after which I’ll just start designing some cool templates 😉

I only wish I’ll find some other designers to help me with that. 

Hey !

We’ve done some serious works on cif2.net to make it much friendlier and easier to use.

This last week, I’ve worked on designs for the Task Icon, the Rewards, the Themes and the language. I’ve designed new Level Icons !

There will be more categories of Levels, to provide a special and neat feeling to building your website or blog with cif2.net

There will also be a lot of other rewards, besides the ones from the tasks you complete and also: There are Cif2 Themes !

Hooray !

We’ve put the system online, now all we have to do is make some cool new themes.

See you all on the next post ! Soon, you’ll have your own way of saying iExist ! 

I really use this one a lot, so I figured I should share this one with you, because you’ll surely find it very useful.

It’s very easy to use, it is smart and IT’S FREE ! and also free of malware and such.

Easy Thumbnails is a popular free Windows utility for creating accurate thumbnail images and scaled-down/up copies from a wide range of popular picture formats. An elegant interface makes it a snap to find your images and select them for processing individually, in groups, or in whole folders, using a simple file selector and built-in image viewer. You can use slider controls to rotate images and adjust their contrast, brightness, sharpness and quality, and check out the results with the built-in viewer.

Thumbnails can be created in any existing folder or a new folder, and you can identify them clearly by adding a prefix or suffix to their filename. If you’re an image-processing enthusiast, you’ll enjoy having a choice of eleven resampling filters for the best possible results. You can convert small batches of images inside Windows Explorer from the File menu or with a right-click of the mouse, display thumbnails in your browser, and even take advantage of command-line switches to generate thumbnails seamlessly from other programs. You can also save your thumbnails to a Web page using a HTML template that you can easily customize to create your own layouts, and there’s helpful documentation that includes full instructions and some useful tips.

Today was really cool 😀

I managed to finally organize all of my stuff on my new worktop. It made me feel really good, becuase I’ve wanted to do this for a lot of time 😉

I had to organize projects I’ve worked on from 2003 to 2010. I didn’t know that I made so many things until now and was also surprised to see I had so many 3d models made by me until now. Also the domains are quite wide, Game design, 3d Artwork, Animation, Film Making, Web Design, Logo Design, Signaure Designs, Tutorials, Posters, Presentations in Flash and Powerpoint, Flash Apps, Educational Software, a Documentary, Literature, etc.

Anyway, after finishing all this, I began working on the new design for cifnet.ro, because we want to raise even more money for the cif2.net project and that would be a good way to do it.

I was not satisfied at all with how it had gone in the last session of design, but I’ve simply surprised myself today and I’m finally starting to make designs on a whole new level. Now I can trully say that I have an eye for designs.

The way it turned out is awesome and I can’t wait to work some more on it 😀 

 

I’ve decided to update my blog with some new cool stuff to make it feel like more professional AND personal, and also to better showcase my works and my projects.

I’m thinking some new graphics and some new sections to improve the looks and the post quality and interest factors.

I will keep posting, though, but just wanted to let  you all know 🙂

I’ve wanted for a lot of time to have a blog in which I post about people who express themselves online, how they do it and how they become known in this new open world that is more and more on the world wide web then in the “physical” plain.

I’ve searched to buy a domain for it, and the best bet was obviously something like Expression Blog .com or .net

The surprise came when I found out that expressionblog.net was AVAILABLE ! This thing was like god-sent. I hardly believed I had so much luck.

Now I have bought the domain and already started the Expression Blog, because lately I’ve seen that I really have a word to say in this online world and people follow me because they like my tweets, my blog posts, etc.

And seeing that I managed to touch the life of dear Janice McGrory in a positive way, I am very optimistic, very excited about trying to help more and more people, in any possible way, to have faith in themselves and have the courage to say iExist ! 

Life’s great ! 😀 You just have to let yourself see this 😉 

It’s always great to remember how I came up with the idea for www.cifnet.ro ‘s best selling service !

I’d just finished reading a lot of the book How to Write Sales Letters that Sell, and I knew that being so busy with making webdesigns and developing our International Project, we needed a new thing. A new product that would bring us a lot of money.

The thing was that we promoted businesses before online, but never dared to ask for such an amount of money. We always thought that because of the Economic crisis in our country, people wouldn’t pay more then that.

So I said: Ok ! let’s make a Premium Pack, that gets your business on the first page of Google Romania in 6 months. I’ve consulted with my colleague, Teodora Vingan, regarding the validity of the marketing message. We don’t sell lies. We sell things that bring results, so I wanted to make sure we could deliver.

This time we asked for much ! I made a sales letter immediately and posted it on our website, on the blog and gave links to it on the social media. The result was that the phone began ringing like crazy the following day, with people wanting to learn more and more about it, wanted to see more offers etc.

In time it turned out to be our best selling product and it helped us get very well through the whole crisis, whereas many other webdesign companies went down. And it also helped us gain more time to develop cif2.net and plan to extend it in Austria and other countries.

So you see? All it took was a little courage to make the next best thing. 

Alright, so we’ve decided that we want to take our Brand presence even further and out of the box.. which basically means out of twitter and facebook.

I started doing some research into the other Social Media websites out there and have begun studying them, because I believe I can reach new audiences even better and maybe build better connections there, then on the BIG social networks which sometimes are just full of spam.

Since I call myself a New Media Renaissancist, I guess it’s the best thing to do. It is also an experiment for my X-Factor Marketing Theory, which I am currently developing.

I know a lot about Brand Presence on Twitter and Facebook and I have more then one year of professional experience on them, so I guess the next step would be to do some serious research on the others as well. This, added with other parts of my X-Factor strategies might prove to be an utter Success !

Really excited about all of these. And even more excited that I will get to teach you a lot about this through the apps of cif2.net that are soon to come 😀

Oh, boy.. Cif2.net really will be your own way of saying iExist !
