Rebrand

You've probably noticed the new logo colors on www.atlantic.edu. As part of a rebranding we've been switching all of our online services over to the new standards.

For more info, read the style guide. There's some useful guidelines and logos/templates to use there too.

Google Docs OCR

Google Docs recently added the feature to perform OCR (optical character recognition) on uploaded pdf and image files. So now, you can have it convert a pdf into text!

When you upload a file into Google Docs you should see the new option. If you need to convert a pdf that someone sends to you into text (why isn't everything already text will always boggle me) then this might be a nice option to check out.

flickr tagging

Atlantic Cape shares thousands of photo on our flickr account, with many new photos added daily. This is a great resource for not only sharing photos with the community, but also if a photo is needed for internal use too. I really recommend that you check it out if you haven't already.

Also, please feel free to add any additional tags to photos as well. You just need to be logged into flickr (using a flickr or Yahoo! account) to do so. Tagging of photos makes them much easier to find and sort, so please tag away. A location, individual(s), event, etc. The more descriptive our photos are tagged the better.

Like Button

Just incorporated the new Facebook Like Button Social plugin into our news releases. It can conveniently be found at the bottom or all news releases now. If you want to share the particular news release with your Facebook account, just click the Like button. It's that simple.

You can also easily see which of your friends like the news release as well.

This is the first of the new Facebook social plugins that we've incorporated with www.atlantic.edu. We'll keep you posted as we integrate more of the social plugins!
