			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I came across this article, I thought this is something that I must share. In the real world that we live in, success is dependent upon our emotional stability to overcome situations and challenges. Confidence is Key.</p>
<p>Here is a list of <a href="http://www.positivityblog.com/index.php/2007/08/14/top-24-tips-for-making-your-self-confidence-soar/">24 tips for making yourself more self confident.</a></p>
<p>Lets be honest, we love to be around confident people and confident people are successful people. When you are around someone that is confident the whole atmosphere changes. You want to be that person because people want to be around confident people!<span id="more-460"></span></p>
<p>Here are just a few of favorites from the list:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>1. Ask yourself: What’s the worst that could happen? </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This was first on the list and rightly so. We live in a fear based society and because of it we automatically play the worse case scenarios in our minds and we trick ourselves out of self confidence. We must stand firm and really think, really what is the worse and then operate from a position of confidence of how we would handle that worse case situation. Once you have dealt with it mentally you can deal with physically!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>20. Keep a positive crowd.<br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>It is so key to surround yourself with like-minded people that will pick you up when you are down. When feeling down, it is not the time to surround yourself with those &#8220;life suckers&#8221; (the suck the life out of you). You know exactly who they are and now you know when to avoid them!</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong>24. Redefine failure.<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This is something that is so important for all of us. Many times we see failure as the end all say all. If you are still alive and kicking you have not failed in life. You may have failed at one thing but the beautiful thing is that in life there is no time clock that says that you have to achieve a certain step or the game is over. Pick yourself back up, dust yourself off and get back in the game!</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>I really could go through line by line because there are so many great things but then there would be no point in reading the list! <img src='http://xmgonline.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  So enjoy and be encouraged!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was looking for a way to help my clients see what we were going to create for them before we created it. I stumbled upon this excellent software to get the job done. It is called <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://iplotz.com/">iPlotz</a></span>. </p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 254px"><img src="http://xmgonline.com/bluelight/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/whatis_screenshot02.gif" alt="whatis_screenshot02.gif" width="244" height="169" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Iplotz</p></div> 
<p>Why Do I Love This Software: </p>
<ul style="list-style-type: disc">
<li>Because I do not have to use Visio to make a wireframe when Visio is far from cost effective.</li>
<li>It takes far less time to make a wireframe, you can go from making it in an hour to under 20 minutes.</li>
<li>It works on Windows/Mac</li>
<li>It allows multiple ways to export the wireframe (images, web pages, etc.)</li>
<li>Allows collabortaion &#8211; I can invite others to comment on what I have done so I do not have to hold extra meetings.</li>
<li>It allows you to group your wireframes by projects so as you create multiple wire frames they will not get confused with other projects</li>
</ul>
<p>Extras: </p>
<ul style="list-style-type: disc">
<li>Now, I do my project management in another tool but if you are looking for a project management tool as well, this program comes with a basic project management tool. Especially for individuals that are stronger in design then in project management this would be great for them.</li>
</ul>
<p>The pricing is great, ranging from FREE! to $495 for 10 users. I mean, it really doesn&#8217;t get any better than this. This program has become the default for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://iplotz.com/images/whatis_screenshot02.gif">my company</a></span> to do web layouts and wireframes. </p>
<p>Also they company is based near where I am from in VA (I am from MD), so they can&#8217;t be a bad group of guys. <img src='http://xmgonline.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 2px;" title="JQuery Logo" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2f/Jquerylogo.png" alt="JQuery Logo" width="242" height="76" />Why should we care about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery">jquery</a>?</p>
<p>Because it is a light weight (loading quickly) and it provides some of that interaction that everyone loves. We hear alot of times, I want an interactive site and many people that means they must have a flash site. Well, that is not so.<span id="more-464"></span></p>
<p>jQuery allows XMG to provide our clients with some of the interactive features that they desire will still accomplishing the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating a quick loading page</li>
<li>Allow Google and other search engines to spider and index your page</li>
<li>Give the movement and interaction that you love</li>
</ul>
<p>So, we very much like jQuery and as you can tell with this site here the homepage is using jQuery instead of Flash. We love Flash and will use it when we need to but being that Google has not yet indexed (read and index flash) and we do not want to do double work (add the content and then tag), why not just use wonderful jQuery?</p>
<p>So, if you have a few minutes, please review <a title="18 jQuery Scripts" href="http://www.designer-daily.com/18-jquery-scripts-and-tutorials-to-improve-your-portfolio-2162/">these scripts</a> and mention which ones you would like to see in your site.</p>
