“How to Edit and Publish Digital Photos” is the focus of the Ycademy Online Seminar in July.

Taking photos has become a relatively easy and cheap task with the proliferation of accessible digital cameras and mobile devices, such as smart-phones and tablets. Of course the quality of the pictures varies in function of the quality of the camera and the skill of the photographer. Some of the shortcomings can be compensated by improving skills and post editing.

The Seminar will deal with editing digital photos using namely Photoshop and OnOne Professional Photo Tools.

Original 124 Kb

… after some basic editing …

Edited 153 Kb

… for web and devices with reduced JPEG quality.

30% JPEG for Web 27 Kb

Editingand post editing have a lot to do with the purpose of the image as well as on the destination platform. We will look into different options and detail specific requirements for the mobile web.

The above sample shows that editing makes the image heavier! The more filters, masks and brushes we apply the more Kb we ad and the slower the image will load once on the site. Here it is getting interesting: the above image counts 124 Kb as shot (it has just been cropped to 300 pixels wide), then we have added 29 px while editing and in the end reduced the JPEG quality to end up with a final 27 Kb, i.e. 2 Kb less than what we added by editing, amd yet, the image is more dynamix, vibrant and sharper.

In order to use editing tools efficiently, we must acquire some knowledge about the different filters and masks. We need to learn some terminology and we need to learn to translate the desired results into professional lingo, so that we use the appropriate tool to achieve the desired result.

The absence of such knowledge results in a “roulette approach” and therefore to unpredictable results and bloated file sizes.

Publishing Images and Photos with Semiomantics XO on WordPress

With WordPress 3 many new features became available and Semiomantics exploits them with the recent XO versions. In as much as images, videos and galleries are concerned, XO provides special post formates which are ideal for Media Publishng.

We will explain the custom formates and how to create a specific media feed stream throughout an XO publishing Network.

To apply the new skills and knowledge, we will build a photo content management system on XO. To anticipate the work and to make the best use of the time we dispose of, we will start building the Photo Site during the 2 Pre-Seminar calls on Tuesday and Thursday next. During these two sessions we will namely focus on customization and design of the XO to end up with a photo site which will provide multiple media streams to be used on other sites of the network.

July 30 — 31, 2011 as usual starting at 1 pm London Time each day and ending at 9 pm London Time.

Tickets: $85 with the usual special discount of $50 for Ycademy Pros; please get the Ycademy Pro Discount code from Bianca (@) ycademy.com as usual.

Customizing your WPTouch Pro skin is similar to customizing your XO all together, In fact, from an editing and design point of view, be prepared to some work! To display your Mobile XO on multiple platforms of the mobile web, you need to take into account the different screen resolutions and of course screen sizes, which means that you may have to load different versions of your graphics and images.

For the purpose of the XO Blog Mobile version, I have thought about sticking to my preferred design colors and fonts: red and gray scale as well as Helvetica for easy reading.

As you can see, from the above blog home, I have taken out backgrounds, round corners, paddings and margins to just separate posts by a dotted line. Header size, icons and post thumbnails have been increased in size for a better surf experience.

The menu page underwent the same cure:

As you know, I like it bold and minimalist and I guess it’s pretty much what you get here.

The same style you find on pages, such as the author page which includes the contact form:

Welcome to the WordPress for Facebook Seminar! This seminar is about Social Media Marketing and Communication involving WordPress, namely the Semiomantics XO Framework and Facebook.

During the next two days we will elaborate and implement strategies to automate publication and communication across platforms with a special focus on the mobile web.

Why would you want to combine WordPress with Facebook?

The main reason is to remain in control of your content, its presentation and the way it streams to and from Facebook. Also, a self-hosted WordPress provides you with better content management features and automation tools than Facebook.

If you are a Facebook freak, you can even spend the rest of your life within Facebook and publish at the same time through WordPress Semiomantics XO right from within Facebook. Our pre-seminar sessions demonstrated how to embed your XO on a Facebook Canvas page, from where you have complete access to your WP installation, dashboard and editing and publishing tools.

If you don’t want to spend any time in Facebook, then you just need to implement Social Media Marketing and Publishing Strategies as lined out in the YORGOO Publishing Model and your Facebook antenna will do its job automatically and send traffic back to your site.

WordPress and namely the extended Semiomantics XO Framework provide visitors from the mobile web with a top notch surfing experience! Fast loading pages, easy to surf menus and the look of a mobile application are achieved with the use of WPTouch Pro, the most advanced tool out there to assure cross platform publishing on the mobile web: be it iPod, iPad, iPhone, Andoid, Blackberry, IEMobile 7, Googlebot Mobile, webmate, incognito,dream, CUPCAKE, froyo your site will be optimized for most any device class.

Having said the above, there is yet another interesting feature we will look into: your website within the website by using SlideDeck Pro with your Semiomantics XO.

In fact we embed SD Pro as well in Facebook as on the mobile web providing surfers with automated slide shows, scrolling titles and videos and much more. SD Pro stands for a more exciting surf experience and it allows us to automate a good deal of our publishing and editing work across multiple platforms.

I am convinced this will be an exciting Seminar once more and as it is extremely user focused you will enjoy the workshops and the immediately visible results.

Wow! Your Semiomantics Sites go mobile and Facebook! How to hook your WordPress to Facebook and build an eye catching Mobile Site with the look of a iPhone Application?

Our June Seminar will deal with all the issues relating to interaction with Facebook and the Mobile Web.

The interaction with Facebook is vital to reach out to 1 out of 10 people in this world who are Facebook Subscribers! There are multiple possibilities to hook to Facebook, but not all of them are to our advantage.

At Semiomantics Facebook developments we have tested various possibilities and identified the options which optimize best our activity on Facebook.

We are proud to share with Seminar participants the Facebook Marketing Concepts elaborated over the most recent months, namely since Facebook introduced new rules in February.

As usual, 1 pm — 9 pm London time on each day.

As usual on Brain Time, $85, Ycademy Pro Discount:$50.

Starting from our Author Websites, we will feed all our activity into Facebook with the purpose to gain visibility in Facebook and their Search Engine. The second step is to extract from Facebook a maximum of Facebook activity to make it available outside Facebook and to optimize it for Google.

Ycademy Facebook and WordPress Seminar June 2011

For the second part above we will be glad to use our YORGOOPress blog, which by then should run on Semiomantics XO!

Finally, we will spend the rest of the week-end on working on an eye-catching presentation of our Author Blog on the Mobile Web, optimizing the site for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Blackberry, Win 7 Mobile and so on.

After the Seminar, you will be able to duplicate the above for your customers.

Tuesday and Thursday our daily calls at YorgoLive will be focusing on updating and upgrading your websites at YORGOOPress and your Author Blog where needed. Please be there as we prefer not to waste our time on these issues during the seminar.
