Listen UP London

Yorgo Nestoridis — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:26:02 +0000

Listen Up London

Listen Up London is an amazing young brand for media production. Christian George’s talent is obvious, reason why people like Global Sports US entrust Listen Up London with media production. Recently I had the opportunity to provide Listen Up London with some animated Logo footage which is added to clips shut and edited by Christian.

Looking at Listen Up London’s Clips and Photographic work at You Tube and Tumblr, I though it was worth the while promoting my friend and his business, the more that he is living a passion and a dream he is realizing at the sacrifice of many distractions.

In fact Christian has bought appropriate equipment based on a Canon 500D to shoot high quality clips which correspond to the standards customers require these days.

The features picture here is not by Christian, but I just liked this snapshot taken at the Global US Store in London. I pinched it from Christian’s Tumblr and did some post editing as you can see.

Working for Christian was a pleasure, refreshing, quick and direct: our communication was about entirely mobile based and to make things easier, I just registered the domain ListenUpLondon.com to load the previews of our project.

Christian does not yet have his own domain, host and website, but it’s on hist list of priorities. In the mean time I use the domain to build a promotional website for him under the umbrella of semiomantics developments. The goal is to create an XO based website which can be inserted into facebook. The actual site is up and running. The facebook implementation is under development.

In any case, I am sure, in the near future, Listen Up London will be seen all over the place and from Semiomantics we wish Christian all the best with his passion and great work!

Protect your Website Content 2

Yorgo Nestoridis — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:10:10 +0000

Protect Content with Copyrights

My previous post included some interesting features in terms of Copyright mentions. There are on-site and off-site solutions which you may have noticed. The post discusses the various possibilities adding copyright notices, not their efficiency against content scrapers.

Copyright on-site

On my site I publish a Copyright mention in the footer:

These Copyright notices are standard and most WordPress blogs add them automatically. Such notices can be more or less sophisticated; automated vCard notices are possible and exist in may themes by default.

Copyright using vCard

For the purpose of this example I have used the vCard entry at the bottom of the post, just above the comment area as visible here:

Copyright using Author Box

The author box is part of the post content and therefore an on-site as well as off-site feature:

The disadvantage of the html author box is that it messes up the clean code of the post. Such boxes should be edited in clean code and inserted accordingly.

Copyright off-site

As mentioned above, the Authors Box at the bottom of the post is part of the post and therefore transferable by Feed (RSS, Atom). Content scrapers usually scrap by using feeds and by importing content to their own web sites.

Author Boxes with clean content are interesting and accepted also by most directories, for as long as they contain only one link.

Copyright added to the Feed

An interesting idea is to add copy right notices to the out-put feed. The principle is: you add automatically a copyright notice to every post in your feeds, without having these notices on display on your own website.

The previous post has been syndicated into YORGOO Publishing; here is how the post was automatically printed:

Copyright on top of the post:

The original post on Yorgo Nestoridis shows no copyright on top:

Yorgo Nestoridis Blog

The Copyright notice added to the feed shows however automatically on every site syndicating my content as follows:

The same is true for Ycademy which syndicated from YORGOO Publishing:

The above screenshots represent post pages where the Copyright notice on top of the post bears active hyperlinks. In case the default excerpt is printed, as on the home page of YORGOO Press blogs or on Ycademy, then the same notice is served, however without active links.

Copyright at the bottom of the post:

The Authors Box has been imported while the vCard has disappeared as we did not embed it into the code (loop) but served it using an in-line widget. To pass on the vCard, the corresponding code can be embedded into the WP code. The vCard delivers clean code and could be a better solution then the HTML Author’s Box.

Author Box on YORGOO Publishing

My preference

The most visible notice is delivered on top of the post, however in a more elegant way than the shrewd wording chosed for the purpose of this example.

A nice notice could be for example: “Published by Yorgo Nestoridis on YORGOO Press” including the corresponding links.

Publishing and Editing Images 2: Slide shows and Galleries

Editing slide shows is one thing, delivering them is another. There are a few factors which will impact on your visitors Surfing Experience.

Slide shows: the technology you use on your site

Slide shows: the technology your visitor uses

Slide shows: the technology you use on your site

Using a WordPress based website you have multiple options. You can just use galleries from the built in media module.

Example 1: Images are loaded into the WP Media Folder using the upload tool associated with the post editor.

To display the pictures as a slide show, you need some additional soft ware, plug-ins.

Example 2: Images are loaded into a Image Management Module and rendered as an embedded slide show:

The above depends mainly of the technology used on your website since most computers can render such slide shows and there is therefore no discrimination of users who are not equipped with software beyond default.

Slide shows: the technology your visitor uses

With the increasing popularity of Social Media, some interesting applications have been developed which allow Internet users to improve their surfing experience by installing additional soft on their computers. The success of such soft depends on the number of sites which add corresponding features to their development.

Here is an example and I would suggest you download the software on your Computer profit fully from the 3D effects. By the way: FaceBook, Flickr and YORGOO Media are equipped with these add-ons, to mention just a few.

[singlepic id=13 w=320 h=240 mode=watermark float=][singlepic id=11 w=320 h=240 mode=web20 float=]

Watch now: when you pass your mouse over a picture, you notice a button:

Cool Iris

If you click on it, your local 3D image wall will render the images, try on one of the above pictures.

Download your CoolIris Browser and install it on your computer and then watch and be amazed about the new experience.

We can take this further and show a whole wall of our images on the website:

How about showing my Flickr Pics on a CoolIris wall?

It’s possible, watch out for the next post.

How to add a Facebook iFrame Application to your Fans Page

Yorgo Nestoridis — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 18:06:10 +0000

6 Steps to Add a Facebook iFrame Application to your Fans Page

This Tutorial will show how to set up a Facebook iFrame Application in 6 Steps. Since Facebook changed once more the rules Fan Page content is to be added via iFrame Applications. There are some App providers out there who offer quick solutions namely for people who do not have own hosting; these external solutions have the disadvantage that you are not in full control of your frame and that you promote rather the App provider than yourself. For our customers we use a more professional approach. Here below you will find the basic 10 steps to create your own iFrame Application.

What are Facebook iFrame Applications

As of February 2011 facebook allows iFrames on Page Tabs as well as on Canvas Pages. The corresponding Applications don’t need to be activated (using the app submission procedure).

In short an iFrame Application allows to load external content to your Fan or Business Page.

The advantage of Facebook iFrame Applications

As your content is hosted on your own host, you may edit in standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript like on any other web page.

The disadvantage of Facebook iFrame Applications

You need your own hosting and be able to edit HTML, besides that, the freedom is yours.

If you need cheap reliable hosting and professional help to set-up your app, hosting and content, please contact me.

1. Set up your HTML page on your Server

For the purpose of this Tutorial I will create the frame for an application called YORGOO on my cPanel Server.

Create a new folder in your root called “app” into which you will place all your future applications. In the app folder we create a new folder with the name of the new application, in my case: ‘yorgoo’, like so:

In the ‘yorgoo’ applicatuion folder we create an index page and a style-sheet, like so:

Edit index.html and paste the following minimal content into it:










HERE COMES YOUR CONTENT

Note on line 4 we refer to our style-sheet which we edit and paste in the size of the page. Facebook allows for a display of maximum 520 pixels x 800 pixels. Ideally you keep your content within these limits, however you could also go wider and deeper when editing at the price that either the content will not be displayed to its full extent or that you need to accept scroll bars.

I will keep it sober here and punch into my style-sheet the following:


body {
 width:520px;
 margin:0; padding:0; border:0;
 }

Note on line 9 we reserve the space within the main content container for whatever you wish to add to your page: this is where you edit your visible page content. For the time being I have just added some text for testing purposes, by replacing the above lines 8 — 10 with the following:



YORGOO
We are building here the YORGOO Facebook Application in
support of Small Business and Home Business Builders who wish to take advantage
of Social Media Marketing to generate Free Traffic and Free Leads to promote
their business and increase sales.

With a little bit of style, this results in:

Test Page Content

2. Install the Facebook Developer Application

Now let’s head over to Facebook, sign up if you don’t have an account or just log in.

Visit THIS LINK and if prompted, click the Allow button.

3. Create your iFrame Application

Click on the Set Up New App Button:

Now enter a Name for your Application:

Name your App

Agree to the terms and Create App.

You will be prompted with a security check (paptcha), just submit the suggested words.

4. Edit the About Page

Add a description and some eye-catching icons, like so:

About

5. Facebook Integration

Select “Facebook Integration” from the left-hand menu and scroll down to Page Tabs — this is what will be shown in your Facebook sidebar menu:

Page Tabs

If you have a security certificate installed on your server, add also the secure link using https:// (people logging on to Facebook using a secure connection cannot see your page if you don’t provide a secure link — they will be redirected to your wall).

Save your changes.

6. Add your App to your Fan Page

Select from the menu Application Profile Page

Select Add to My Page from the sidebar menu and select the page to which you wish to add the Application:

Head over to your page and you will now see the new tab!

Publishing and Editing Images

Yorgo Nestoridis — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:10:34 +0000

Publishing and Editing Images

As our previous post showed: images are great to improve the surfing experience of our visitors. The way we edit however is an important component for different reasons: if we embed large pictures into a post or page, the first impression can be smashing but it can be at the expense of fast loading pages. There are a few remedies to the loading problems you may encounter.

How to assure fast page loading

The best solution from a user’s point of view: get a fast internet connection.If I am running the previous post on a 24 MB/s line, it’s a piece of cake. If you live in a country where fast lines are not available, then you are at the mercy of webmasters who load less demanding stuff.

Thumbnail images

Thumbnails load fast and can then expand to most any size. Chose a thumbnail format which is still big enough to attract the curiosity of your visitor.

Example: this is a 120×80 thumbnail. It gives a ‘small’ idea about what the big picture could be.

Bianca Gubalke on the Cover

Embed medium size Images

If a picture is less attractive as a thumbnail, just embed a medium size format:

Example: 300 wide for this one.

Hanno Coetzee Personalized Business

Embed maximum width Image only exceptionally

One big image in a post will not hurt. But if you embed multiple pictures, loading time will increase dramatically.

Example: 500 wide.

Larrie Perkins Online Filing in Asia

Here we choose the big size because the thumb or 300 would not really have any significant effect.

Use Slide Shows

Slide shows also allow us to save time depending on how they load.

Check it out our next post.

Use overlay display for large pictures.

Check out the extra large versions of the above pictures by clicking on them:

Bianca Gubalke 2

Larrie Perkins 2

Also, some pictures will only develop the desired effect in big format: click to see Ismail from Global Sports :-).

or this one? Here our friend Ismail rocks, click below!

Ismail from Global Sports London

As you can see: this page loads much faster than the previous post about Besma Bashier HERE.

Join tonight’s YORGOO Call if you are interested in implementing the above. 8 pm London Time at yorGOtalk.

PS: If you would like to learn how to create such images, please post a comment :-).

PPS: I forgot: You can always use Galleries to organize the pics of a post or page in a more balanced way:

Noordhoek South Africa

Yorgo Nestoridis — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:09:50 +0000

Noordhoek goes live on YORGOO Media

Noordhoek south of Cape Town has a new website! Bianca Gubalke publishes her Noordhoek blog on YORGOO Media, profiting from the features available for community building. The Atahualpa Theme is a nice solution for the site and Bianca’s configuration results in a sober, attractive and professional site.

Let’s see what YORGOO Media can do for a community such as Noordhoek.

Noordhoek

Located at the foot of Chapman’s Peak Noordhoek and the Noordhoek Valley is one of the preferred destinations around Cape Town. Rural atmosphere, the famous beach, charming accommodation make it an ideal place to go.

I am sure Bianca will share with us what life in Noordhoek is all about.

Noordhoek Image

Click the image to see live size.

Noordhoek on Google

Checking out Noordhoek on Google I notice about just tourism related websites, an insignificantÂ Wiki entry and a Real Estate site. It’s time for a publication by, about and for people from Noordhoek.

Noordhoek on YORGOO Media

The YORGOO Media platform is an ideal place for communities to build an online network. First because the sites are tuned for high visibility, they are easy and quick to set up and best of all: they are FREE. Second because the personal sites are linked through the BuddyPress module which allows for the creation of a real social network. Setting up a Group called Noordhoek is a matter of 3 seconds. Inviting people from Noordhoek to join is an easy task — it’s enough to make it known that the facility exists.

Noordhoek Online Business

Let’s think about it:

You would like to launch a local online business but you don’t want to bother with technicalities, hosting, scripts and other distracting stuff. You neither want to spend a lot of money to start with, but you want to offer a real service to the community which can be financed by local and external advertisers.

Here is my plan:

1. Grab all Google top 10 positions on “Noordhoek” with Noordhoek related sub-domains on YORGOO Media plus use your own sites to get there as well. The point is: all these tourism and real estate sites need to buy advertising space either from you or from Google.

Examples:

noordhoek-realestate.yorgoomedia.com

noordhoek-tourism.yorgoomedia.com

noordhoek-accommodation.yorgoomedia.com

noordhoek-horsebackriding.yorgoomedia.com

2. Offer free websites to the whole population of Noordhoek and show them how they can use the social network as well as the blog.

3. Get a license from YORGOO Media to load a few themes for the users from Noordhoek; build local ads straight into these themes and adapt them as need arises. Make sure that on every site there is community news.

4. Get local contributors for the Noordhoek main site to make it THE authority site.

The nice thing about the plan: the population of Noordhoek shapes the online profile and image of their town instead of people from outside. This is all in line with our philosophy about: get in control of your name and brand. Why should Noodhoek not be master of its own destiny? Why should Noordhoek just remain in the hands of big brother Google and some smart agencies in Cape Town making the money on the brand name Noordhoek?

Hey guys and gals from Noordhoek: let’s bring the cash back home and let’s shape the Noordhoek Online Image together. YORGOO Media is ready to help and to support the project.

The Purpose and Future of YORGOO Media

Yorgo Nestoridis — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 00:10:40 +0000

YORGOO Media a unique Online Publisher

YORGOO Media has been set up to implement Media oriented Publishing Technology and to make such technology available to a large public.

Media Publishing Oriented

Online Publishing has become very popular, namely due to the development of Web 2.0 applications, made available on social networks. YORGOO Media recognizes the limitations of social networks and develops publishing tools out side the closed vase environments of social networks and membership programs to provide search engine efficient solutions.

The trend to Media Publishing is explosive namely due to the proliferation of mobile devices, digital cameras, i Tunes, i Pods as well as the desire to share private media in a meaningful way. Slide Show evenings, Super8 home projection, scrap books and photo albums needed to find practical online solutions beyond the limitations social networks can offer.

YORGOO Media is exploring theÂ use of multi-media features on personal and professional websites with the goal to provide interactive media solutions.

Freedom of Speech and Expression

Freedom of Speech and Expression online finds it’s limits in technology, cost and personal know-how. YORGOO Media strives to provide the best technology at the lowest cost. To acquire the necessary know-how Ycademy Online Seminars provide the ideal solution for online publishers with monthly 2 days events and weekly live calls.

YORGOO Media Test Results

For ten days extensive tests have been conducted to test YORGOO Media’s unique framework: YORGOO Media is the only Multi-user Blogging and Social Network which includes all features and advantages of a self hosted Semiomantics site. Paired with BuddyPress and the most aggressive publishing features YORGOO Media has proven in this short time how attention grabbing YORGOO publishing can be. Check out our test results on Great Brak River featuring unequaled performance (you may have to read between the lines) with Africa YORGOO Media.

YORGOO Media Features

YORGOO Media provides users with a Social Media Blogging and Networking platform second to none. In fact, YORGOO Media is the automated and application oriented implementation of the YORGOO Publishing Concept as described by Bianca Gubalke a few weeks ago subsequent to the Ycademy online Seminar in February 2009:

YP Concept 1

YP Concept 2

In these two clips, Bianca finds her way through the YPC and demonstrates a possible application of the YORGOO Publishing concept. Her subsequent implementation using her self-hosted sites has proven to be efficient and crowned by success on all targeted keywords.

This concerns sites such as Bianca Gubalke, the Author site, Auction Talk Live, an authority site, Touch Vision Talk, a second authority site on YORGOO Press, the Online Profile on cashflowin.com and of course a load of self-hosted YORGOO Blasters.

The problem with that concept is of course: it’s work. It’s a struggle with technology, hosting, configuring and more. Bianca wants to focus on editing her original content and creations, rather than spending time on cleaning MySQL databases, maintaining a server,Â upgrade plug-ins, tweaking and tuning, running after email server issues, or many other such tasks which are time consuming and which can be outsourced at a relatively reasonable cost.

YORGOO Media offers a hosted, yet fully customizable solution for exactly Bianca’s user profile. The YORGOO Media Platform offers it’s users the possibility to set up on one account multiple blogs and to integrate them with the YORGOO Media Social Network.

Author Blog: a fully Semiomantics enabled Author Theme (Yorgo Private) is preloaded and pre-configured exactly the way Bianca’s Author blog. For Authority Blogs different solutions are built in, namely a clone of YORGOO Publishing (Auction talk Live to come). The YORGOO Blaster is working brilliantly on the platform. Additional themes are loaded, namely the famous Atahualpa which can be customized by users to build over 2300 themes.

The only Semiomantics theme we could not integrate to satisfaction so far is YORGOO Press, namely because of its extravagant dealing with images and videos. Future development may remedy.

The BuddyPress integration allows to meet people, form groups, exchange messages, wires and share blog content. BuddyPress puts the individual Google-efficient blogs straight into the context of a social network. Cross links to major Social Networks such as Twitter or Facebook provide completely new perspectives. One of the consequences is: the most incredible multi dimensional lead generating system (more about this aspect in a live call and at the next Ycademy Seminar).

The Ultimate YORGOO Media Kick

With the release of VideoPress, YORGOO Media has the possibility to build it’s own streaming video platform integrated in right into the existing multi-user environment.

This is the most amazing add on to any publishing platform: get live video streaming to your site. But there is more: users can upload and share most any format of video, from YouTube to personal clips taken with the own video cam, from iTunes to windows media to mov and AVI formats.

VideoPress is a one-click application that allows you to create streaming high definition videos on your blog, or anywhere on the web. You can even create an instant video podcast right from your blog feed.

Technical Requirements

To realize our plans with YORGOO Media we will need to build the necessary hardware on server side. Here an idea of the Architecture required:

Video Press Architecture

(Click to see in original size)

The featureÂ requires at least one file server and one dedicated video transcoder. Considerable amount of PHP coding and system administration skills are required to install, customize and deploy these modules. I let you appreciate the beauty of the architecture on the image above.

The cost of the Project

There are two main cast factors: hosting and development. Development can be kept low as we can do most if not all of the required tasks in house. Hosting is another issue: without the Video features we have reached the limits of a dedicated server with just 12 users who have loaded some 80 sites all in all and who have set up over 400 feeds coming in, without counting internal cross feeding. Massive pinging and links out complete the fast growing expansive communication network.

Our tests show that hosting cost will mainly depend of the features we allow users to dispose of. However, the ideal would be to preserve complete freedom of expression and publishing, using the best and most efficient techniques. To exactly evaluate such cost we need to run additional tests, namely with the video streaming feature in combination with the best Semiomantics features.

The Economic Model

Cost for the YORGOO Media products can be covered in two ways:

Free YORGOO Media users with access to basic functions: Admin reserves the right to place ads to free sites.

Professional users with ads free sites will have to upgrade on a per feature, per month or per year base.

Partners: possibly we will have to invite partners to carry the cost of the network.

The Target Customer

YORGOO media is for anyone who would like to publish in a clean environment, hassle free, branded and yet keeping complete control over content while participating in a Social Network of like minded publishers. YORGOO Media is also for Home and Small Business owners as it allows to create great visibility at the lowest possible cost. Networkers will appreciate YORGOO Media for its lead generation qualities as well as to communicate with co-workers and prospects.

Finally: private people who would want to share media and to use the Internet in a customized way, far from the big brother sites who tend to collect personal and behavioral data for their own commercial purposes.

We will inform about further development of the thrilling YORGOO Media project

Garden Route Great Brak River

Yorgo Nestoridis — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:10:47 +0000

Great Brak River South Africa

Great Brak River Accommodation and Accommodation Great Brak River were two key-phrases Hanno Coetzee suggested this morning for a tagging test and contest. The issue was about: how to tag and publish in the most efficient way a post targeting people who are looking for accommodation in Great Brak River on the Garden Route in South Africa.

I had told Hanno that I have been testing different methods recently and that I had some astonishing results with a ‘new’ or a different way of tagging bringing the Semiomantics tuning advantages yet to another level.

To increase the challenge, I wanted to use a brand new blog, in fact I started posting from the blog we set up last night at during the Ycademy call. The site is at Africa YORGOO Media and if you check it out: the configuration of the site is not yet completed, however the basic Semiomantics set up on YORGOO Media gave me the necessary confidence to take the bet.

The post content suggested by Hanno was a recent post on Garden Route Directory by Hanno Coetzee which we just copied and pasted into the new site.

Here are some of the Results:

Accommodation Great Brak River

All Accommodation keywords in South Africa and on the Garden Route in particular are difficult to conquer as there is fierce competition and active publishing by sites which have been there for ages.

Our result is astonishing anyway:

Accommodation Great Brak River on Google

Our best result is with Africa YORGOO Media on rank 7, beating YORGOO Publishing which ranks 9th.

Great Brak River Accommodation

This is probably closer to what a visitor would type into Google and again, we are visible on top 10 on Great Brak River Accommodation.

Great Brak River Accommodation on Google

Similar result as before, we come in under Great Brak River Accommodation with Africa YORGOO Media on number 9, ahead of YORGOO Publishing.

Great Brak River

Great Brak River is the name of a town on the Garden Route in South Africa. We test this tag as well and again we make it immediately to rank 9 with the new site at Africa YORGOO Media.

Great Brak River on Google

Garden Route Great Brak River

Searchers may want to zoom in using Geographic criteria and look for Garden Route Great Brak River. So did we and again we find our post on spot 8, this time with YorgoNestoridis.com:

Garden Route Great Brak River on Google

Let’s look further along these lines.

South Africa Great Brak River

Our best shot is Africa YORGOO Media again on rank 26 for South Africa Great Brak River:

South Africa Great Brak River on Google

It’s rank 16 by now, not 26 … we are moving up fast.

Great Brak River Bed and Breakfast

Other people may look for a special type of accommodation in Great Brak River such as bed and Breakfast. Here as well we score well with our post:

Great Brak River bed and Breakfast on Google

Africa YORGOO media comes in on number 5, our best performance.

Some people may just want to know more about the place where they have booked to stay and therefore they may type into the Google search:

Great Brak River Resting Palms

The Google search on Great Brak River Resting Palms returns an absolutely smashing result:

Great Brak River Resting Palms on Google

Again, Africa YORGOO Media comes in on top, this time on number 1. The other market sites are sites syndicating YORGOO Publishing or sites which have been there before, such as Hanno’s Gardenrouteaccom.co.za, a smashing site in general (but we beat it) as well as gardenroutedirectory.com, which we beat as well.

Interesting: there are two sites from YORGOO Media on these top 8, demonstrating the power of our new Publishing framework at YORGOO Media.

Resting Palms

Finally, let’s just do a search on the name of the accommodation: Resting Palms. Google returns over 1,800,000 results and here is where we come in:

Resting Palms on Google

Our best shot again is Africa YORGOO Media! Rank 6 –9 or 4 out of 10 is a nice result.

Publishing Online: Benefits and Value

Imagine you are the owner of Resting Palms in Great Brak River and you would like to become visible on Google so that tourists and travellers can find the place when searching Google. You have two possibilities: either you pay for advertising on Google or top ranked sites, or you get your own site set up to grab the keywords of your interest. Google ads are probably way too expensive over the long run if you want to reach a statistically significant result.

Advertising on well places sites such as the Gardenroute directory is a convenientsolution for multiple reasons: low cost (compare with Yahoo directory where a minimum entry is $200 per month and you don’t see these guys hardly on Google, but still cheaper than Google ads.), great presentation and editorials and a fast spreading presence on thousands of South Africa related keywords: probably the best deal on line right now namely for people taking long term contracts as the site is young and fast growing. Contact: Lalakoi or The Garden Route Newsletter.

Get your own web site. For a one man show business (like many bed and breakfast facilities are), a solid publishing solution such as YORGOO Press or YORGOO Media could be ideal provided the owner publishes regularly content about events, stories and so on about the business, town, area and so forth. Cost wise it’s the best solution for people who have a long term ambition for their business and who want to spend the time to take care of an own site (needs may be some learning).

For questions about pricing of our services, please contact Bianca Gubalke in South Africa at bianca(at)ycademy.com. By the way: Africa YORGOO Media is for sale :-).
