Trello, a web-based, kanban-style application, is a powerful collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. At one glance, Trello can tell you what’s being worked on, who’s working on it, and where a task is in a process, helping teams to better collaborate and get work done quicker! Trello is a great choice for project management whether you’re a small business owner, a mid-to-large size corporation or a blogger. You can manage a whole slew of different projects and get them done without things falling through the cracks. The best part is you can get started completely for free, however, you’ll be limited to 10 boards. If you need more than 10 boards, you can upgrade to a paid Trello plan for $10/person/mo billed annually.
Paperless Office with PDF
A paperless office with PDF is exactly as it sounds—an office without paper, relying upon digital documents in digital files instead.
While the concept has been around for a long time, the paperless office has been difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. Today, however, technology advances have made it not only possible but even attractive to take your office paperless—or, if not entirely paperless, certainly less reliant upon the veritable printed page.

Printing PDF vs Creating PDF
There are many reasons to use PDF files as a way to share documents. Especially these days, when you do not even need enterprise level PDF software in order to turn a text document, a spreadsheet, or even web page into a shareable file that anyone can read, regardless of his or her operating system or other software suite. People can create PDF files using any number of PDF printers that are available on the web– many for free.
While using a PDF printer serves as a good solution for cheap and easy PDF file creation, it lacks many of the features that a good PDF software solution has to offer. Click here to continue reading this article.
6 Tips to Reduce Spam Form Entries
If you have forms on public web pages, you’re bound to get some spam. Spam form entries are a frustrating part of collecting leads, growing an email list, and giving people opportunities to contact you.
Why is spam so common? Because spammers set up spam bots. These are automated scripts that troll the web for forms and submit some content.
Why do people spam forms? For backlinks, mostly. Google will boost a website’s rankings if it has a lot of links, so less-than-honest marketers create bots that spam forms with links. If any of those links show up on a website, their site’s ranking improves. This method of “marketing” isn’t as effective as it used to be, but it doesn’t require the “marketer” to do anything but let a script run.
In other cases, spammers set up a group email address that they put into the email field on your form. They add a message with links to the message or comment field. If you have a default auto-response email set up (like most forms do by default), you will unwittingly send a spammy message to a list of email addresses.
In the worst cases, some bots will use your form to inject malicious code into your website. These bots could damage your pages or databases, harvest sensitive information, or even disable your site entirely.
Needless to say, it’s important to stop spam form entries however you can! Let’s dive into some strategies to reduce them. To continue reading this Blog Post from Gravity Forms, please go to:6 Tips to Reduce Spam Form Entries
