I consider myself a bit of a visual artist. Not oils or watercolors – mostly markers. The smelly kind.
Yesterday i went to draw some grass (of the garden variety) and found that my green/lime-scented marker had run dry. It was bound to happen, eventually, but this was particularly bad timing. You see, I’d already drawn the family portrait with them all standing on their front lawn. Problem was, I hadn’t drawn the lawn yet. As of this writing, the Johnson Family is still floating in front of their home with plenty of legs to stand on but alas – no grass.
Panicking, I searched the Intersphere for where I could find myself a marker that would fit the bill, I came across a site that I believed that would do the trick…PageLime. I figure if I’d bought some of the limes pages then I could use them as a backdrop for the portrait and still have the same – albeit more consistently colored – effect. Little did I know that I’d be proven wrong by reading the description of what PageLime was in full.
What PageLime really does is save you time.
I know, I know. What they stand for goes entirely against what I sit down for. But….they’re giving away stuff right now (among other things) and I am all about that. I’m telling you, fellow and future Eventualists, I’m as torn as Natalie Caligula.
Here’s what PageLime says about itself:
PageLime is a remote Content Management System that allows you to update the content, images, and documents on your web site without installing any software. All you have to do is add the ‘cms-editable’ CSS class to any part of your site, and we host the application that edits your site.
I like the not having to install stuff thing. I like the chance to win free stuff more. You see, for two weeks starting yesterday, PageLime will be giving away a package that includes a $125 gift card to the NikeID store, a case of VitaminWater, a sweet DURKL Windbreaker and T-shirt, and a Free PageLime Professional Account.
But there’s a catch, so I’m going to give to you as straight as I can…which will require a great deal of focus on your part.
For a chance to win, tweet using the tag #pagelime or use the button below to re-tweet from this page. The more you tweet, the better your chances. Based on the tweets, they’ll pick a weekly winner each Friday. The winner will be announced via Twitter by PageLime, and on one of their partner blogs.
Yes, PageLime contends that they’ll save you time. I’m okay with that in this case. Oh, and the “among other things” is that they’d love to go out for drinks with yours truly if I eventually make it to DC.
That may happen sooner rather than later.
