September 21, 2006Easy image resizingResizR is an easy-to-use Web site that does one thing: resize photos. Just upload your image, adjust the size, and do a save-as on the result! September 1, 20062 new sports features debutRoanoke.com has launched two new features targeted specifically at football fanatics, just in time for the kickoff of college football season. The first has actually been out for three weeks (though it's still in beta), and is the first spinoff from the TimesCast Webcast. It's called the Sports TimesCast -- yes, it's such a creative name -- and it features The Roanoke Times sports staff writers Doug Doughty and Randy King. Prior to their video debut, the pair hosted a sports-related podcast last fall the was well received; it was also hilarious. The same style is carried through on this Webcast, so prepare yourself for the antics. The format is similar to the TimesCast, with the familiar bullets and links paired with the video. We've also introduced new features such as tags, contact form and a poll. The second new sports feature is the Fearless Forecasters database. It allows you to pick you favorite college football teams to win from a list to pair against our sports department. Registration with roanoke.com is required, but it's free and gives you access to contests and other promotions. Sadly, the University of Alabama isn't on the list for this weekend, but I'm definitely pitching their game for the next round. Roll Tide! |
