Portfolios are important in many different professions. Whether you’re a photographer, designer, stylist, make up artist, or model, at some point you’re going to want to display your work so others can decide if you’re the right fit for their project. A couple times a year, I spend time at Paul Mitchell the School Portland talking to students about how Evernote can help them build their portfolios, and I thought the information might help others get started with their own work. This is just a basic outline—use it as a starting point, and make it work for you.
Testing Evernote, EverAction[Tags], and WordPress
Fellow Evernote ambassador, Lindsey Holmes mentioned a service called EverAction[Tags] that allows you to post to your WordPress blog from Evernote simply by adding a certain tag to a note. I've been hoping for a service like this for awhile, now, so I thought I'd try it out. Note: This was originally just going to be for testing, but I... Continue Reading →
TUESDAY TIPS: Migrating from Posterous

Like I said in the last post, I like to use Evernote to draft my blog posts. This works great on the laptop, but what about when my phone is all I have? I was just simplifying posts by keeping them to text with one image, or drafting the text on my phone, then waiting till... Continue Reading →
Quick Tip: Evernote and blogging with WordPress
I like to write my blog posts in Evernote, complete with images. Once a post is written, proofread, tweaked, etc. in Evernote, I'd copy/paste the text into WordPress' HTML editor. (Pasting into the HTML editor instead of the Visual editor gets rid of any extra Evernote HTML.) Once the text was in the editor field,... Continue Reading →
Moving to WordPress.com
I decided to pull the trigger on moving my sites to WordPress.com. I really hope Posterous survives the Twitter acquisition, but I'm not sticking around long enough to find out. I'm also working on eliminating my hosting account at Dreamhost. $120/year was fine when I was hosting a bunch of custom sites, but I don't... Continue Reading →
Send images to your blog from Adobe Lightoom
via photographers-toolbox.com I had no idea this feature was in Lightroom. Love learning new tips. Granted, I populate my WordPress blog through Posterous, but it's a great tip anyway.
