A few interesting items from the world outside the home office:
- The pre-release version of Wordfast 6.0 is out. As of this release, Wordfast is splitting into a “classic” version that still works within Microsoft Word, and a standalone version that is platform independent. I saw the standalone version demo in Orlando and I am planning to test it out on my Linux computer this week.
- Susanne Aldridge has launched the latest addition to the translation blogosphere, In-house translators- a dying breed. Susanne is one of those fantastic people who sits in the front row of your presentation at the ATA conference and mouths the answers to all of the questions that you ( I mean I…) don’t know, so I’m sure that her blog will be fun to read!
- If you’re looking for a way to keep your LinkedIn profile looking fresh without actually updating it, you can automatically feed your WordPress blog to your LinkedIn profile. Freelance journalist Michelle Rafter tells you how to do this, and it’s just as easy as she makes it sound; less than a minute start to finish.
Corinne, even though it was just one of several bullet points, this has got to be the best tip I’ve gotten in the last seven months. It was a huge revelation, and came just in time to feed my curiosity on how to best use social networking sites like LinkedIn. I now have my blog feeding into WordPress and have also uploaded four of my PowerPoint presentations as well. Thanks for sharing!
@Jill, thank you! Glad you liked the tip; I definitely think it’s a nice way to put some useful information on your LinkedIn profile without constantly updating it.
Yep, I love that LinkedIn feature, it’s great! However, now that I have a brand-new Vegas food blog, I want to link both blogs. However, there’s a limit on the number of sites or blogs you can list (three or four, I think) that will be pulled into the feed. As I have several sites and blogs I want to link to, I may just have to rotate them. BTW, I also have a feed for my blog on Facebook, even though I use that mostly for personal adventures.
