About Us Becomes About BWT: Why I Did It 2024-03-17

Tim Koen
How important is a website's "About" page. I learned, it is one of the top 5 must have pages on a website. Which are "Home, Contact, Policy, About and Site Map." After that can be other tier 2 pages, like Categories, Blog and FAQ pages. Today we are going to discus the "About" page. Here's a concise summary of the significance (provided by "Copilot") of an "About Me" page for your website:

The "About Me" page is a crucial component of your online presence. It has these significant virtues.

About Me Page Virtues

  • Introduction: It serves as a virtual introduction, allowing visitors to learn about who you are and what you do. Here's why it matters:
  • Professional Branding: Your "About Me" page promotes your professional brand by showcasing your expertise and unique qualities.
  • Personal Connection: Visitors seek a personal connection. An engaging "About Me" page helps establish that connection.
  • Authority and Credibility: Sharing your background and accomplishments positions you as an authority in your field.
  • Contact Information: Including your contact details allows interested parties to reach out easily.
  • Social Proof: Highlight testimonials, awards, or achievements to reinforce your expertise.
  • Humanize Your Brand: Share a bit about your personality and values to make your brand relatable.

Remember to keep your "About Me" page up-to-date and reflective of your current status and goals.

It's a dynamic space that evolves as you do! For inspiration, check out this example of well-crafted "About Me" page, BWT's...

Animated Avatar Presenters A Glitch Fix Tale 2024-03-14

Animated Avatar Natalie
Hi all, Tim here, for real this time. I have come to the point where I consider these animated avatars as friends of mine. I have a couple of favorites I use a lot. But, have many that I can relate too. Take Natalie and her twin sister Amelia for instance. One is young and fiesty while the other is prudish and demure. Errr, at least those are the lifestyles that their apperal project. When creating a new animated avatar video select an avatar that represents the theme of the video project.

In this next video we feature Natalie a young woman with a pony tail. We jazzed her up with a lot of motion effects to liven up the atmosphere of the video and to cover up some unwanted glitches.

When I first recorded the background (screen capture) footage I was apalled by all the timing glicthes between mouse clicks. Fortunately I know how to fix that. See if you can find all the glitch fixes in this animated avatar presenter video...

Animated Avatar Presenters

Webstite Tips:
  • Glitches are undesirable sometimes and sometimes intentional. To fix an undesirable glitch follow these steps:
    1. Locate the frame in your timeline that immediately preceeds the first glitch frame.
    2. Make an image copy or still frame of just that frame.
    3. Stretch the still frame over any succeeding glitch frames until the glitch ends.

    If the glitch is just 3 frames long the the still frame will perfectly hide it without being perceived. If the glitch is over 5 frames long, the eye will notice the jump. You may be able to disguise the jump with a 3 frame dissolve, which will help mask the jump.

  • Another glitch fix method is the transition. You can cut out the glitch frames, then butt up the 2 ends and put in a transition between the 2 scenes to cover it up. I used the "flip" transition in this video to cover up some awkward jump cuts that happened in the cutting process.
  • Animation can add style and tempo to a video. Try to move the characters around and change their sizes to add juxtopposition to achieve a perspective not inherent in the original recordings. This technique can give a depth perception to your scenes, where none really exists. See how it's done... on the next page.

Ready to get your own AI Chatbot or HumanBot? Follow the instructions list below to find out how easy it is to setup a HumanBot personal assistant on your website...

How to select a HumanBot/HumanPal. Start with looking at yourself. A HumanBot will be a representative for your business. That spokesperson can be as much like you, or not at all like you. Your spokesperson should represent the type of business you are in.

People who identify with your spokesperson are the people who will be influenced the most. Consider age and gender. For instance young people are more attractive, but less trustworthy than older spokespersons.

Your choice of HumanPal should be apparent, but if it is not, I recommend selecting a young female. Because they are perceived as more appealing than their male counterparts.

Next thing to consider after gender is ethnicity. We offer many types of spokespeople. If your audience is in a specific location select a spokesperson that is from that area. You have over 30 human avatars to choose from.

HumanBot Avatars
Thirdly you want to consider your audience. Ask your self what does your business offer that your audience will look for. For instance if you are in the medical, nutrition or health care industry a doctor or nurse avatar would be appropriate. If you are in sales a business woman or businessman would be best.

Am I The Only One Still Using Easy Blogs? 2024-02-10

Long story short... EasyBlogs (EB) is still a viable website building platform. I use it everyday along with Solo Build It (SBI) to build this website. I even sell it. But haven't had a support request in over 5 years. So, what to do? Keep flogging a dead horse or expand to new horizons?

Over the years I have upgraded all my computer equipment and operating systems over and over. But the one software application that passed through all those iterations is Easy Blogs.

EasyBlogs Software And Tutorial

Easy Blogs arrived on the scene in 2004 as a blogging platform and was upgraded significantly until 2008. At which time the developer stopped supporting it. Then, I bought the rights to re-sell the software. So long as I also took over support for it.

Now, years later I still am using the software to build my website with. (And I think I may the only one left in the world to do so.) I continue using EB because it is a self powered content genterating tool. I don't need no AI chatbot to help me out, thank you very much. I already do that! But, wait a minute. What if... things change?

Another software application I have used consistently since 2006 is Solo Build It, or SBI! SBI came on the scene in 2003 and has been continuously updated ever since. The latest upgrade is called TAI, a ChatGPT-4, AI powered content generator. With a prompt generator, a boxchain editor, and a freestyle AI chatbot. The new TAI module includes step by step tutorials to obtain the ultimate website content generation. Think of the possibilities.

Solo Build It!

I kid you, not! SBI + TAI = OMG, an easy to use all powerful website/blogging combination that gets results. Especially for the small business owner like me. You can make blogs, post to your own web friendly pages and publish everywhere, all in one place, from home or abroad.

About SBI. It is called Solo Build It (SBI) to signify the type of entrepreneur it is best suited for. SBI has all the online business building tools you could ever want for a low, low annual cost.

SBI TAI Logo

And EB is a one time purchase. EB works by parsing the SBI template into manageable sections in a HTML interactive development editor or HTML editor. This allows for users to focus on content generation while the template takes care of all the styling, code generation and publishing duties.

And now it looks like TAI can do that too. Did they steal my idea? Did they take my content creation system and make it available to everyone? Find out for yourself. Learn more about SBI - Solo Build It! Business building tools...

A Camtasia video editing template project features custom 10 second transitions for use between segments in video tutorial(s). Includes animated motion graphics, titles, subtitles, music background and special effects. Also included are placeholders for future content. Making this package a plug and play template.

Project Managers Template

The transitions are all custom made and grouped for easy duplication. This client wanted a Camtasia based video template for re-use on future projects. There are 5 basic screnes to this video. Which are Intro, transition 1, transition 2, Title Card and Outro. Interspersed are content placeholders designed to adjust to fit whatever length it is replaced with. Transitions are packaged and grouped for quick duplication. This makes the template versatile for any length video.

Webstite Tips:
  1. All videos have 3 basic parts Intro, body and outro. Even major feature films are set up this way. In between transitions are called a "segue." Pronounced [seg-way].
  2. Video templates save time and effort in post production. Creating engaging videos is accomplished in this phase of the process. Templates can be re-used and become part of the production planning process. That means...
  3. Segments of a template can be planned, grouped together and duplicated to expand, enhance or otherwise modify with ease any video production.

Why You Need A HumanBot Explained By A HumanBot 2024-01-22

Amanda Chef HumanPal
Me: "Hello HumantBot. This is Tim. Anybody home?" I asked.
HumanBot: "Hello Tim how can I help you today?" It replied.

I have been tuning up on HumanPals and HumanBots these past few days. So, I asked my HumanBot "why do I need a HumanBot?" The HumanBot's response (above) is a conglomeration of words gleaned from this website and other sources. That means I have already used these words and are probably mine to begin with. I can legitimately say I trained my HumanBot to say that. How cool is that? Learn more here...
