I stumbled across this today and thought I would share. A very nice set of social media icons. As he states many of the icons our there are too large or too stylized and these are nice and understated. If you are looking for the icon you will find it – otherwise the social media icons should not compete with the content of your website.

Always nice to get an award. Our website won a gold medal and our marketing department took home seven other awards! Woo hoo! Read more at the Antioch Herald.
I’ve been gardening alone for close to seven years now but there is just no way to know everything. I love my alone time being in my own garden. I consider that my special place. The special place however has been ruined by a flurry of unmerciful destruction from some unidentified furry critters. Read more
I had the idea to set up a facebook promotion for Chapman’s Dog Grooming. The idea is that people could enter a photo of their pet all dressed up for Halloween for a chance to win a $20 off coupon for grooming. Trouble is this is not allowed according to facebook policy so you have to use a third party app. Facebook does not want their tools to be associated with any kind of promotion. You will however see other businesses violating those rules and they don’t seem to have a problem. If facebook finds out however your account could be suspended so it’s better safe than sorry!
I did some googling and there are a number of 3rd party apps out there that offer photo contests. I went with easy promos because they allow the first promotion free to people with less than 5,000 fans and it will run for as long as you like.
Below is a photo of Opal I used to for the facebook photo contest promo page.
If you’re in the Antioch, Oakley or Brentwood area of California enter your photo and don’t forget to vote on the entries! The contest runs through October 31st.
Yes we are some bleeding hearts as we have a couple of baby peacocks in the house! This one above had the unfortunate luck of getting under a horses foot. We found her crying by herself on the ground at night. They should be up in the trees at night so obviously she wouldn’t have lasted long that night if we hadn’t picked her up. We think she is a girl because even as a downy fluffy thing she was trying to feed and brood the other one rescued about that time below. Read more
I made a little graphic today for a website about the STEM grant that Los Medanos College received. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math. The primary purpose of the grant is to create a pipeline for students to transfer to university in one of these related fields. This graphic was to accompany a page that talks about the many projects that the STEM grant supports and a page to propose a project. I tried to encompass icons for each of the disciplines. I thought it came out kinda cool 🙂
