The title makes it sound like this is going to be a complicated posting, doesn't it? Not to worry: the subjects of this post are about making things easier, not harder.
The "logical half" of Logical Expressions (that's me) has been busy with a couple of side-projects that came to fruition this week. I wrote articles about each of them on my Nerdy Musings site.
The LE Redirector is essentially TinyUrl on steroids. If you aren't familiar with TinyUrl, it is a free hosted service that lets you replace long URLs with short ones that are more suitable for email and situations where you want to disguise part of the URL (like affiliate information). The LE Redirector does the same kind of thing, except it also tracks the click-through events on the redirected URL.
For now, we are using the LE Redirector for our own web marketing purposes, but we may eventually release a commercial version of the software so others can use it to manage their own redirections. If you are interested in knowing more about that, let us know!
The PayPal Button Converter for ASP.NET helps ASP.NET developers insert PayPal buttons into ASP.NET web pages. It is a variation on the utility I wrote some months ago that does the same thing for AWeber subscribe forms. Both are free for anyone to use.
You can find the conversion utilities here:
