  • S01:E03 - 5 Things to Consider For Your Event or Association Website

    When it comes to crafting the perfect website, sometimes things can  be overlooked. In this episode, we share our thoughts on what we  consider to be important. To help the discussion we are joined by a  guest, the award winning website designer and creator, Abbie Thoms of Polyspiral.

    The short list
    • Pop-ups – those awful things that get in the way. An informal Linked survey showed that…
    • The T-Mobile hack – let that inspire you to protect your event and client data!
      • The Bullet List – The things your website needs!
      • A fixed footer – make sure it’s informative and stays where it is!
      • Social media links – make them big and bold and obvious
      • Make sure you have the essential pages – at least an about page & contact page
      • Does it work with mobile? – a mobile/responsive design is more important than ever
      • Text size, colour and contrast – make sure it’s easy to read and doesn’t strain the eye

          • The Bullet List – Collaborative apps we’ve tested and used

          When embarking on a team project, like putting together a podcast  episode, you need to be able to co-ordinate work and make sure you are  all heading in the right direction. For this weeks bullet list, here’s  the top 5 apps we’ve used and tested.

          • Rock – If Evernote and Slack had a baby
          • Evernote – the gold standard?
          • Smartsheet Better than spreadsheets or forms
          • Slack – group chat on steriods – essential for team communications though
          • Brandy – Probably the easiest way to share a brands images, logo’s and colours.

            • This week, our intro now has a voice over. So a big thank you to my Mum for letting me record her!

          • S01:E01 – Twitter Essentials

            This is the very first episode of the Bullet List podcast, so it’s  rough, not that organised and there’s a few sound problems too. But  we’re learning as we go, it will get better as we get more comfortable  in our new roles as podcasters. We enjoyed making it, we hope you enjoy  listening to it!

            The short list

            We start this episode with a few news items that peaked our interest…

            • The Delta Variant / National Association of Manufacturers Announces COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement for Staff – Labor Shortages.
            • LinkedIn Ads – Native Video Meeting Option, Facilitating Enhanced Connection in the App.
            • Microsoft Acquires Video Streaming Company PEER5 To Improve Teams
              • The Bullet List – Getting started with Twitter

              This is what this podcast is all about, our favourite top tips. For  this inaugural episode, we discuss our thoughts on getting started with  Twitter.

              • Turn up – if you haven’t already, make an account and start tweeting!
              • Tweet often – best way to attract new followers and show them you are serious.
              • Be consistent – set up a routine and stick to it.
              • Use hashtags – use around 3 and make sure they are relevant and in use.
              • Mention others – if you are sharing a link or retweeting, credit the original author.

                • Also mentioned in this episode is Hashtagify, a great way of finding trending hashtags on Twitter, and a tweet from the Royal National Institute for the Blind – explains why you should capitalise words in hashtags.
