Content is key to delivering a successful user experience on websites, apps, and other digital properties. But what sets good content apart from the rest? This course takes you through the process of analyzing and reshaping your web content—not only text but also video, imagery, social interactions, and the metadata that underlies it all—to improve your SEO while refining your brand's voice. Learn how to construct meaningful content and measure just how successful your site is after launch. Author Patrick Nichols also shows you how to develop personas to better understand your audience and evaluate the needs of important stakeholders and influencers.
Voice and Tone are the building blocks of content style. To help shape that style, it's important to establish your voice, and tone. You may be building a new experience or reshaping an old one. If you're starting from scratch, the voice is yours to create. Ask yourself, or your client, what defines your brand. Make a list of brand attributes, these will help shape your style, so will your audience. Make a list of key characteristics. You need to know who you're communicating with in order to meet their needs. Now, you can brainstorm a starter set of voice adjectives that reflect both your brand and your audience.
These adjectives will evolve into your content voice. It can also be helpful to list what the voice isn't. Defining voice in is, isn't pairs, provides additional examples that help content creators express a common voice. Say you're building a site for college students to share videos. You know your Brand is original, curious, and funny. And your Audience is young, social, and daring. You also know that your Brand isn't passe, dull, or boring.
Use these descriptions to guide content development. Periodically check whether the content you are creating matches the voice adjectives you started with. If it hasn't and you feel the content satisfies both brand and audience needs, then you'll need to revise your adjectives. For the video sharing site, it turns out the content is better described as adventurous, rather than funny. Now, you have an emerging voice that works well with both your brand and your audience. If you're reworking an existing source, the voice is already there somewhere.
It's likely muddled, buried, or plain confusing. You still need to define your brand and audience and create a set of voice adjectives. Instead of creating content from scratch, you're evaluating whether the current content matches the adjectives. If it doesn't, then you'll need to rework it to reflect the voice, or you may need to update the voice adjectives to match the content. Once you've established your voice, you can shape the tone to match different contexts. You shape the tone by examining your audience profile, subject matter, and desired outcomes. The audience profile is characteristics that make your audience unique and draws it to your experience.
Subject matter is what you are trying to communicate. Desired outcomes are what you hope the audience does with he content. Let's look at shaping tone for a computer retailers website. Our audience is interested in technology or just needs a computer. The subject matter is computers and the desired out is a completed purchase. The contents tone should be informative with a broad range of product information that gets more technical the deeper the customer digs. It should be confident, projecting that this retailer's computers present the customer's best choices. And it should entice the customer to enter, and complete the purchase cycle. Together, voice, and tone comprise content style. What you should document in a style guide.
For a detailed look at that process, see Creating Style Guides, later in this course. For now, remember that content style, is the embodiment of voice, and tone.

CANBERRA - Bob Elphinston has expressed his satisfaction in the wake of a successful conclusion to the first FIBA Oceania Board meeting to be held at the organisation's new headquarters in Canberra.
The FIBA Oceania President was left delighted after the two-day meeting, with a number of key decisions having been made.
"The office opening was a tremendous occasion and provided FIBA Oceania with the opportunity to host FIBA Commission members that reside in the Oceania zone and will be a part of this next evolution of our organisation," he said.
"It was an opportune moment to launch the Pacific Sports Partnership programme that will be piloted in Fiji during 2014 and the meeting was a highly-productive one.
"Several key decisions, including recommending to our members that we dissolve our organisation and move to the new FIBA structure during 2014 demonstrates our strong commitment to the proposed changes within FIBA," added Elphinston.
"This will bring the Oceania family even closer to the wider FIBA family."
During the meeting, the Board handed the hosting rights for the 2014 Pacific Youth Championships (27 November-6 December), to the city of Suva in Fiji. This was in accordance with the previous decision of the Board that it would be an open entry event for federations meeting the selection criteria and that the winners of both the men's and women's events would subsequently represent Oceania at the FIBA U19 World Championships for Men and Women in 2015.
It was confirmed that FIBA President Yvan Mainini and FIBA Secretary General Patrick Baumann will both be in attendance at the 2014 FIBA Oceania Congress in Sydney (9-11 May). The Board also agreed to provide financial assistance to those active federations attending the event.
There was recognition of continued investment in National Basketball Development Officers (NBDOs) as a key strategy to develop basketball in the zone. The ambition is to have 14 NBDOs employed in 2014, with a training programme to be conducted in Canberra in May 2014, which will be repeated every second year, commencing in 2015.
The Board also discussed FIBA Oceania's performance against its 2010-14 strategic plan, in order to develop commentary for the forthcoming Congress. It also agreed a strategic planning process for a new 2014-18 plan, with a final document due for October.
A decision was made to suspend the 2015 All Star Tour due to the time-frame between the Pacific Youth Championships in Fiji at the end of the year and the Australian Country Cup in January 2015. FIBA Oceania will now also review this programme and take a broader review of elite development of athletes and teams outside of New Zealand and Australia as part of the strategic planning process.
Finally, the Board reiterated its commitment to promoting and utilising 3x3 as an important tool for basketball growth in Oceania and is now preparing a detailed 3x3 strategy document for Board discussion by August 2014.

Ok, I made my first pecan pie ever about 6 weeks ago at Thanksgiving. I loved it...but being my first time, I felt I should try out other recipes. Comparatively, this recipe is nearly identical ...
I absolutely love this pie! This was my uncle's "secret" recipe for the longest time. When he finally told us it's the recipe from the Karo syrup bottle, I was floored! Now I can make it myself!...
I use 2 regular pie shells plus add more pecans to recipe . Also,Changed amount of time to cook. excellent!

ISFj - The Protector, Supporter
Introverted Ethics, Extroverted Sensing
I like feeling I have helped someone with a concern, helping them figure out, deal with, and resolve the problem, knowing that what I recommended or advised really did help that person.
I am fairly quiet with an easygoing attitude and am modest to some extent. I do not mind being alone, although I do like to be with people too. I like having friends, and family is the most important thing in my life. I am a reluctant leader—I like to have some say in things and I am glad I am doing it, but if things go well with someone else as leader, then that doesn't bother me. Privacy is important, though it's nice to be thought of well by others. I like to have some independence; to be able to come and go as I please is nice.
I am dependable and conscientious. I have a big sense of obligation with work. Doing a good job is really important to me. Give me specifics and a plan on how you want me to do it. Brainstorming is generally harder—it's a skill to acquire. I prefer to work by myself without distractions because I like things done a certain way. It's taken me a while to learn that my work is much better quality when I'm drawing from those who see things differently. They help keep up my enthusiasm. And I get upset when work backs up—and it probably takes me longer than most people to do something because I am so thorough. But when I have learned a lot about what I do, I think I get the job done much faster and I can make difficult work look easy. I cannot stand people not doing their best job. I do what I say I'm going to do and stick with it until it's done. And I can find myself overcommitted. It's important to me to be able to say "Okay, this is enough responsibility for now, I don't have to climb that ladder at any cost."
Organization has always been a real strength. I do it all internally, in my head. I am fairly detail oriented and a very structured person. I have to have things in a certain place, with a plan and things prioritized, so I can leave things and pick up the next day where I left off. Being structured is a natural thing with me, to want to have things set.
I dislike conflict. I really care about treating people with a lot of respect. It's an emotional drain when I have to deal with different opinions and reconcile everyone. I give an opinion based on what I think is fair and what's been done in the past. What's decided for one person shouldn't be really any different than for another. I respect that people are certainly entitled to feel the way they feel, but in working or living together, decisions have to be made and things have to go a certain way. I need positive feedback that I'm doing a good job and that my opinions are similar to the opinions of others, to hear, "Yes, I think that same thing." I worry when there's disagreement. I question myself. I've learned to challenge what I don't feel is right, especially if someone does something to me that I don't feel I would have done to that person.
Anything really major in life can take forever to decide. I look to what matters to people, talk to them and get their ideas, then put it all together into something that satisfies everyone. I am more comfortable preparing first and then starting something, after I've pictured it in my mind, rehearsed it, and perfected it. I feel I do a good job expressing myself when I have a chance to prepare, although I do better in reflection. Answering questions on the spur of the moment can be hard too. I will take something minor and get all freaked out when it's nothing to get upset about. I'm very methodical and prefer things to be laid out. If it's a problem with me and another person, I can analyze the situation endlessly until I talk to the person again and straighten it out.
I consider myself adaptable to anyone. I feel that a lot of people think I am a nice person, and because I was always there for them in the past and willing to help, they try to take advantage of me. But as long as you are doing something okay with your life, then you are okay with me.
I need acknowledgment from people who I really care about. Compliments can be embarrassing face to face, though. A paycheck is nice recognition too. I like a day when everything works really well, when I get a lot done, people respond very positively and there is a lot of laughter. I have an unusual sense of humor, and I like laughter.

Gavin Henson isn't ready to move on from Charlotte Church.
The Welsh rugby ace - who has two-year-old daughter Ruby and 20-month-old son Dexter with the singer-and-presenter - admitted while he has come to terms with the demise of their relationship, he is not about to start dating anyone else.
He told new! magazine: "It's not great what's going on. But it's happened and these things happen. I can't speak for Charlotte, but I know I'm not ready to meet someone new. I'm throwing myself into my kids at the moment.
"Obviously, I don't see them every day but I see them about three or four times a week which is great, I suppose."
The sportsman is hopeful about the prospect of having more children in the future, but currently wants to focus his attentions on Ruby and Dexter.
He told Britain's Star magazine: "That's the last thing I'm thinking about. I've always wanted a big family so I don't know how all that is going to work out. My priority is Ruby and Dexter, and being the best dad I can be.
"I'm not the kind of person to have regrets. I wouldn't change anything. I try and learn from my mistakes."

Legislative Agenda
M4Aâs Legislative Priorities 2015
Top Priority for 2015:
Defeat cuts by the Governor to the Medicare Savings Program and Drugs for the Elderly
LR 790 An Act To Fully Fund the Family Caregiver Respite Program
This bill provides additional General Fund appropriations of $182,000 in fiscal year 2015-16 and $243,000 in fiscal year 2016-17 for the Department of Health and Human Services to fully fund the Family Caregiver Respite program, also known as the Alzheimerâs Respite Program and Partners in Caring. This appropriation is intended to eliminate the waiting list for the Family Caregiver Respite Program in 2015-16 and meet the growing demand for the program in 2016-17.
LD 831 An Act To Reduce MaineCare Spending through Targeted Prevention Services
This Act requires the Department to request that home delivered meals be a reimbursable covered service under the stateâs Home and Community Based Services waivers. These services are not available under MaineCare, but are allowable. Home delivered meals have been demonstrated to increase health and delay entry into facility-based care but they are not currently being used to promote health and community living.
Status: Public Hearing - Thursday, March 26, 2015 1:00 PM
LR 155 An Act To Authorize a General Fund Bond Issue To Support the Independence of Maine's Seniors
This $65M bond will provide energy efficient affordable homes to low-income Maine seniors. The bond will construct new homes or adaptively reuse existing structures to provide such homes. At least one facility will be located in each of Maine's 16 counties. Preference will be given to home locations that are accessible to health care, other essential goods and services, and public transportation. A portion of the bond proceeds will provide for home repair and weatherization of the existing homes of low-income seniors. These improvements will allow those seniors to safely remain in energy efficient affordable homes. The bond proceeds will leverage an estimated $100 million in investment from private and other funds.
LR 796 An Act To Protect Older Adults from Financial Exploitation
This Act establishes that money management services are core social services that should be available to older adults who can no longer manage certain aspects of their finances. It establishes funding for the Money Minders Program and requires Maineâs Area Agencies on Aging to provide personal financial assistance to older adults through this, or similar programs.

Sights and Sounds Part Tri: Locker Room Confessionals with Federer and Baghdatis
By James Crabtree
A tour round Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park will lead you to the player changing and locker rooms, where some interesting stories are revealed.
First up, only the top 87 players are entitled to a locker. So bad luck Filippo Volandri who currently stands at 88 in the world rankings.
A certain number of superstitions exist for those who pick their locker. For starters, Roger Federer will have locker number 5, because he is going for his fifth title. No surprise which locker he will have the following year if he wins.
Marcos Baghdatis always has locker 83, because Andre Agassi had it prior and, of course, considerable success at the Open. How many racquets Marcos will bring to Melbourne this year is still to be determined, but let's hope he brings enough, especially after last year's antics…
Novak Djokovic will have 86, because it is next to a mirror. Novak is also known to play lots of practical jokes in the locker room to kill time.
Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray always wait for Djokovic and Federer to pick their locker, so they can locker-up on the opposite side away from their rivals.
Out on the courts, the play for the Australian Open Wild Card Playoffs has been exceptional and the weather has been four seasons of "hot." Yellow Card devotee Matthew Barton dodged a bullet in reaching the semi-final on a court you could have cooked an egg on. Youngster Nicholas Kyrgios led 4-1 in the fifth set only to start grabbing his legs with some suspected Andy Murrayitis — you know an injury that isn't an injury but always gets the commentators worried. Devastatingly for Kyrgios, it was severe cramp. After brief reprisal and two injury timeouts Krygios retired from the match sending Barton through after three hours and forty four minutes on court, and a score of 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7(5), 3-4.
Ben Mitchell whose brother is actor Luke Mitchell aka Romeo Smith from Home and Away, will meet Barton in the next round. The unassuming second seed John-Patrick Smith rounds out the draw against former Bollettieri attendee Matt Reid.
(James Crabtree is currently in Melbourne Park for the December Showdown and giving us the scoop on all the latest news surrounding the Australian Open. Make sure to heck out his first and second installments of "Sights and Sounds.")

So vane of Nole to want the mirror adjacency! But, as for Marcos, maybe 83 racquets would do the trick.

Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know your situation; many of us have developed some nice procedures and we are looking to swap techniques with others, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Here are several of the sites we advise for our visitors.
One of our guests a short while ago suggested the following website.
I tend to agree with GeorgeHJ222 about the main issues at hand. When you go camping, it's about the experience, not just the expenses.
I really liked your blog post.Thanks Again. Fantastic.
although internet websites we backlink to below are considerably not related to ours, we really feel they are actually really worth a go by way of, so possess a look
Here are several of the internet sites we recommend for our visitors
always a massive fan of linking to bloggers that I like but do not get a lot of link adore from
just beneath, are quite a few entirely not connected websites to ours, having said that, they may be certainly really worth going over
Major thanks for the blog. Fantastic.

CILEx is seeking your views on proposals by the Ministry of
Justice ( MoJ's) to introduce a new enforcement tool:
Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs).
The Government's intention is to ensure that a higher proportion
of economic crime is identified, investigated and dealt with. DPAs
are a tool that seeks to achieve these goals whilst being
transparent, clear and consistent.
Under a DPA, a prosecutor would lay but would not immediately
proceed with criminal charges against a commercial organisation
pending successful compliance with tough requirements such as
financial penalties, reparation for victims, confiscation of the
profits of wrongdoing and measures to prevent future
We hope that you will consider the MoJ's proposals carefully
to help inform our response and to ensure that the proposals
are sensible, proportionate and will make a genuine difference when
they are introduced.
The deadline for the consultation is 9/08/2012. The
consultation can be accessed via this (239 KB) PDF hosted
on the MOJ website.

Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne Talks ATP
By Mark Richardson on August 27, 2009 at 1:45 p.m. EDT
The last year of the decade is shaping up to be a big one for the Flaming Lips. They've got a new record coming in October, Embryonic, a 2xCD that, on the evidence of tracks like "See the Leaves" and "Silver Trembling Hands", seems to find them heading in a darker, spacier direction. They're also mounting a big tour that maintains the outlandish spectacle and circus-like vibe they've cultivated over the last ten years. And they're curating the final day of All Tomorrow's Parties New York 2009, having invited bands like Boredoms, Boris, No Age, Caribou, Oneida, and Deerhoof. We spoke to Coyne yesterday, shortly after the Flaming Lips tour bus pulled into Atlanta, where they were playing a show that night, to get his take on the festival.

Ulster: Historic win
Veteran lock Danny Grewcock will be no doubt be keeping a low profile in Bath in the coming days after his sending off for stamping helped Ulster to their first ever win on English soil.
Bath sank to a 28-10 defeat at the Recreation Ground after they were reduced to 14 men in the 32nd minute of their Heineken Cup clash.
Grewcock, who at 37 really is old enough to know better, chose to execute his indiscretion just yards away from referee Jerome Garces, who wasted no time in showing the former England star the door.
From then on it was always going to be an uphill struggle for the West Country men and Ulster made their hosts pay, running in three second-half tries courtesy of Andrew Trimble, Darren Cave and Paddy Wallace.
Untimely dismissal
Bath's only score came when Matt Banahan crossed in the 20th minute and they would have undoubtedly pushed their visitors closer were it not for Grewcock's untimely dismissal.
Ulster, on the other hand, missed out on a precious bonus point that would have put them in contention to top their group and reach the last eight.
But, with Stade Francais securing a losing bonus point at Edinburgh to win the pool by a single point, they will now have to make do with a place in the Amlin Challenge Cup.
Niall O'Connor opened the scoring for Ulster in the fifth minute with a 34 metre penalty to put the visiting Irishmen into a 3-0 lead.
Bath were offered the opportunity to redress the balance almost immediately but fly-half Nicky Little saw his long range attempt bounce off the left upright.
But, when Bath were pinged for coming in from the side right under the sticks on the 19 minute mark, O'Connor made no mistake in making it 6-0.
The home reply came in an instant though, after quick ball out to the backs found centre Matt Carraro, who fed full-back Joe Maddock with a superb cut-out pass.
Maddock supplied Bannahan with a neat offload and there was no stopping the big winger as he steamed down the touchline to cross in the corner.
This time Little found the target, effortlessly nailing a tough touchline conversion to add the extras and nudge Bath into a 7-6 lead.
But disaster struck for the hosts when Grewcock's contribution to the day was brought to an early end when he used his boot to move Stephen Ferris' arm.
O'Connor then made it three from three with the resulting penalty to take his side into the break with a 9-7 lead.
Individual try
Ulster's first try came just two minutes after the restart when Trimble produced a magnificent piece of attacking running to score a brilliant individual try from almost nowhere.
Collecting the ball deep inside his own territory, Trimble opened up a huge hole in the Bath line with an exquisite side-step to take out two defenders before stepping on the gas to sprint 65 metres and score in the left corner.
O'Connor missed the conversion leaving the scores at 14-7 but six minutes later ex-Bath man Danielli rubbed salt in the wounds of his former club when he set up Ulster's second in sensational style.
Danielli, in possession on the left touchline, chipped inside and raced through to collect before powering forward and offloading for Cave to finish, O'Connor converting to extend the visitors lead to 21-7.
Just five minutes later Bath clawed three back with a penalty from Little and they continued to look dangerous despite their numerical disadvantage.
But in the end Ulster's superior numbers told and with two-and-a-half minutes left on the clock centre Wallace jinked his way through from ten yards out to touch down under the posts.
O'Connor added the conversion again but time ran out before they could clinch a vital bonus-point try that would have seen them through to the next stage of the competition.

Brid-Aine Parnell talks about the Brunels — father, son, and grandson — and their impact on Britain during the industrial revolution:
When you mention Brunel to most people, they think of the one with the funny name – Isambard Kingdom Brunel. A few folks will know that his father Marc Isambard Brunel was the first famous engineering Brunel, but not many will know that Isambard's own son, Henry Marc Brunel, was also an engineer and finished some of Isambard's projects after his death.
Between the three of them, the Brunels created landmarks all over the UK; perhaps most famously the Clifton Suspension Bridge, which spans the Avon Gorge, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in Somerset.
That bridge, which Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed and often called his "first child," wasn't actually completed until after his death and only came about at all because Isambard was nearly drowned in an accident at the massive project he was working on in London with his father: the Thames Tunnel.
It is this masterpiece of engineering, which invented new methods of tunnelling underground and is why the Brunels are credited with creating underground transportation – and by extension, the modern city itself – that you see if you go along to the Brunel Museum in Rotherhithe, London.
The museum itself is in Marc Brunel's Engine House, built in 1842, the year before the Thames Tunnel was opened, for the engines that pumped to keep the Tunnel dry. The small exhibition tells the story of the design and construction of the 396-metre-long tunnel, the first to have been successfully built underneath a navigable river. The display panels also detail the innovative tunnelling shield technique invented by Marc and Isambard that's still used to build tunnels today, although these days it's machines doing the hard work instead of men. Back then, labourers would spent two hours at a time digging, often while also being gassed and showered with shit.
The River Thames at that time was the sewer of London and the tunnel was constantly waterlogged, leading to a build up of effluent and methane gas. The result was that not only would miners pass out from the gas – even if they didn't, men who re-surfaced were left senseless after their two-hour shift – but there were also explosions as the gas was set alight by the miners' candles.
Although it's a tidy and well-kept little exhibition, it is not really why you come to the museum. You come for the underground chamber below, which was only opened up to the public in 2010 after 150 years of being closed off by the London transportation system. This is the Grand Entrance Hall to the Thames Tunnel, used in Brunel's day as a concert hall and fairground and now in the process of being turned into a permanent exhibition.

Shouts of approval rang out when City Councilman Eric Gioia (D−Sunnyside) railed against the MTA's recent vote to slash service throughout the borough and called for creating a city more affordable for middle−class residents at the first Public Advocate debate of this campaign season last week.
"The MTA has driven themselves into a hole," Gioia said at the March 31 debate at CUNY Law School. "Congestion pricing could have made this avoidable. We could have avoided these regressive fare increases."
Many members of the audience cheered after Gioia's criticism of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's recent vote to cut service, include the Q74 bus line that many CUNY students take, and hike the price of a one−way trip from $2 to $2.50.
Gioia joined fellow public advocate candidates Councilman Bill de Blasio (D−Brooklyn), former Public Advocate Mark Green and civil rights attorney Norman Siegel at the 1−1⁄2−hour debate sponsored by the CUNY Law Democrats and New York Democratic Law Students Council.
Candidates vying for the citywide position discussed at the event such topics as transportation, the environment, how to use the federal stimulus money and costs of living in the city.
"The middle class cannot afford to live here anymore," said Gioia, who represents Woodside, Sunnyside, Maspeth and Long Island City. "How do you attract the middle class back? With great schools and affordable housing."
Candidates frequently agreed with one another's view, and they all essentially argued they were running for public advocate in order to be a watchdog to the mayor and bring more accountability to city government.
The position of public advocate, now held by Betsy Gotbaum, is charged with monitoring, reviewing and investigating complaints about services and city agencies, according to the City Charter. The position has existed for 16 years, during which only Gotbaum and Green, presumed to be the frontrunner in the race, have served in the role.
All the candidates spoke out against the City Council slush fund scandal and Siegel said he would create a group of hundreds of volunteers that would consistently look into issues like the scandal. In April 2008, it was found that Council members had steered funds to non−existent organizations or to groups where there could be a conflict of interest.
Candidates also said they would want to look into city Department of Education spending as well as focusing on education in general.
"I'm a public school parent, and I see parents are left out of the process of children's education all the time," de Blasio said. "We're testing kids too much, we're not engaging our parents, and we've had in this administration a constant desire to take money away from the classroom."
Green said if elected he would put pressure on city officials to push environmentally friendly policies.
"We should require big buildings to do energy audits," Green said. "We should use the stimulus money to give tax incentives to the private sector to make green jobs available."
The only area where one candidate parted ways with his colleagues was on the topic of Gotbaum. While Gioia, Green and de Blasio praised the public advocate's work in the past eight years, Siegel slammed Gotbaum.
"She was not a good public advocate," he said. "She was not visible, she was not vocal and most people in the city do not know who the public advocate is."

It's probably just the photo I chose or the fact that it's on this thick paper (it just wasn't as clear and smooth as I thought it might be). Overall, I thought it was a great card and would recommend."
"I bought this for my mother in law, she´s a teacher and the design fit perfectly. These sets of 10 thank you cards are a perfect stocking stuffer."
