MS Excel 2010 Custom Colors
Create custom colors and apply them to charts and everything else with Excel 2010
My company has just switched from Microsoft Office 2003 to MS Office 2010, and to my surprise, almost everything in the main menu of MS Excel was changed in 2010 version. That makes everything seem harder and more importantly makes my other post MS Excel 2003 Custom Colors outdated although it’s still valid and useful for those who are still using MS Excel 2003.
Here’s the update for MS Excel 2010:
Excel 2010 provides a bunch of built-in color palettes, but you can also create a custom palette from scratch and then apply your new color scheme to charts, tables or whatever automatically. The process only take minutes but would save you lots of time later on, and it’s one of the things that possibly makes Excel 2010 more… bearable.

This company/technology made me think about writing this post because it was quite innovative and fun having a live polling session and real-time results at a conference. While writing this post, I heard about another company offering similar polling capability, so here you go and hope it’ll spice up your events and make them a bit more memorable.
Turning Technologies uses proprietary polling devices and software which integrates 100% into MS PowerPoint and allows audiences to participate in presentations by submitting responses using a keypad or other hand-held/computer devices.

Statistics on email client popularity or email client market share
As I mentioned in another post HTML Email – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, different email clients may display your HTML email differently. Thus it’s always a good idea to know what people, especially your target viewers, are using to read your HTML emails.
Below are two reports done by two different organizations specialized in email marketing. The data collected is pretty up-to-date: one in January 2010, and the other in February 2010. I’m only the messenger here. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful, and please share if you found some other reports about email client popularity.

Create web graphics with Photoshop – The Fundamentals
Part 3 – Essential Tools
This is the third and probably the last post for the series of posts about Creating web graphics with Photoshop. Part 1 again deals with different image types supported by web browsers; part 2 focuses on saving images for the web; and this part, part 3, is about Photoshop essential tools: the Layer palette, the History palette, Crop tool, Text tool, Eyedropper tool, and Image Adjustments menu.
Why those tools but not the others?
These are the tools I use most frequently to create web graphics and update images on websites. Plus, their usage is the one I often got asked about by others.
