Green House Photo + Facebook = Awesome? You Decide!
Lately I've been experimenting with Facebook Connect. I'm using Green House Photo Gallery as my test bed and I need help. Read more to find out how you can assist.
GHP + FB? WTH?
OK, here's the deal. Facebook Connect is a way that a web site developer can pull in bits and pieces of Facebook into their website. I've been working on getting Facebook Connect integration going in aPeel and I'm using Green House Photo as my test bed site.
How can you help?
If you haven't already done so, please click on the 'Connect' button up there in the upper right part of the site. This will prompt you to connect your Facebook account to Green House Photo.
Once you've done that, the "Connect" button should be replaced by your Facebook user icon and a few links. From there you can leave me some comments and optionally post those comments to your Facebook Wall so that your friends can see what you've been up to.
You could also use the "Invite Friends" link up there near your Facebook icon to invite some of your friends to come check out the site.
I'm looking for as much or as little help as anyone is willing to offer at this point. Please be honest with your feedback and let me know what you think. You can leave comments here on the site or withing the familiar confines of Facebook itself. Hell, I'd even take an email. Thanks!
Jan / Feb 'Oklahoma Today'

'Oklahoma Today' Update
The November issue of 'Oklahoma Today' is shaping up to be a great bit of exposure for me. Read on to learn all the details.
Things have been moving along nicely with 'Oklahoma Today.' Here is the breakdown of items I should have in the November issue (as it stands now).
- 2 images on pages 2/3 (inside front cover) as a part of an advertisement promoting Norman. One of my images will be the bulk of the ad and cover most of the 2 page spread.
- 2 of my image will be used as feature content within the issue. Each of these images is slated to be at least 1 full page, and they are both in consideration to be pushed to double page size.
- I will be featured in the "Contributors" column. There will be a picture of me as well as a short paragraph or two about me and my family/interest/hobies/etc...
- I was sent on assignment earlier this week to try to create an image for the front cover of the magazine. Other images generated as part of the assignment may be used inside the issue as feature content as well.
Unfortunately all of the images being used directly by 'Oklahoma Today' (cover and feature content, not the ad) are under an embargo, so I can't post them to show you which ones they will be. You'll just have to keep an eye out for the issue once it becomes available.
Here are the two images that will be a part of the Norman advertisement:
