Glo partners with A Practical Wedding

GloTaryn — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:32:08 +0000

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Today is a day about celebrating the partner in your life, so I couldn’t be more excited to announce Glö’s new partnership with A Practical Wedding. This match-up has been a long time coming. APW’s founder Meg and I first spoke in November 2010 (difficult to even remember back that far!), but Meg and I wanted to make sure we were bringing the right recipe to the table for Glöbies and APW readers alike, so we took our time and did it right. One of the most exciting things to be born out of this partnership is that several of the APW Stationery Elves developed a suite of premium email wedding invitation and wedding website designs for Glö. You can already find their gorgeous creations in the Glö design boutique. This fills me with happiness, because one of my original goals for Glö was to create a new revenue and distribution stream for talented designers as we move into this new digital age of wedding communications. We launched these designs on Glö over the past few months, and you’re already showing lots of love! I am personally excited to see the enthusiasm you’re showing for these […]

GloTaryn — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:23:54 +0000

Some exciting news that I’ve been asked to guest blog on Huffington Post Weddings! Today, you can read the very first post: 7 Widgets for a Guest Friendly Wedding Website I have to confess, not being a born writer – doing something like this on such a main-stream media outlet felt rather scary at first….but now I am feeling pretty tickled to have it out there in cyberspace! If you enjoy the post – I’d love for you to comment on, like or tweet it! The best part of my job is all of the interaction I get to have with awesome Glöbies like you.

And now…an Introduction (aka Chelsea and Bill’s Organic Celebration of Cross-Pacific Proportions)

GloTaryn — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:38:05 +0000

For some brides, the details are everything - and that's great and it's what works for them! For others, the feeling is everything. It doesn't matter what everybody's wearing or how perfectly plated the food all was - it's all about having a really really good time.

Interactive List of Wedding Website Widgets

GloTaryn — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 20:36:07 +0000

Say that title three times fast! I’m always looking for helpful ways to organize information like the countless widgets that are out there for wedding websites. The handy-dandy list maker from Pick.In totally caught my eye. I’m going to test it out by using it to track interesting widgets that I discover online. If you have found fun widgets that you’d like to share, please feel free to contribute! I sorta like the way Pick.In easily allows you to give widgets the thumbs up or down and to contribute to a running list. I’ve also been bookmarking sites on the GloWedding Delicious account. What do you think is better or easier to work with? I’m open for any and all suggestions to keep track of everything!

New spandangaly features and functionality

GloTaryn — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:52:46 +0000

The fabulous developers at Glö have done it again. Taken all your feedback onbard and turned it into fresh, new features for your enjoyment. Here’s the skinny on what’s been rolled out today: 1) Edit HTML on your Glösite pages When you’re editing Glösite pages, you’ll now see a little button labeled ‘HTML’ on the text editor. With one click, a new box will open up where you can edit the HTML for the page to your heart’s content! This will enable you to add widgets and other fun stuff anywhere on the page. Of course, the widget box at the bottom is still fully functional in case you’re not feeling up-to-par on your HTML skills. For an overview of different HTML code options, I find W3Schools is usually quite helpful. 2) Edit background image and color on your Glösite Giving you even more control over your Glösite look and feel – you can now upload images and change the background color of your Glösite. Just to clarify, the background area starts at the side edges of your Glösite page and extends out horizontally to the edges of the web browser your guests are using to view your site. You […]

Interview about Glo email wedding invitations and being a Web Entrepreneur

GloTaryn — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:50:47 +0000

Holey moley! There’s an interview with me on the web! One of the things I love about being in the tech industry is the absolutely fascinating people I get to interact with on a daily basis. A few weeks ago, I met up with an awesome lady named Rosie who wanted to ask me about my experience starting and running an internet company. Rosie is a journalist who’s worked all over the world covering just about every topic you could imagine. She had an idea for creating a citizen news channel here in the UK. Low and behold, a few weeks later, she’s got her own YouTube channel called News24, which she describes as: A TV channel for citizen news across the UK. Many events happen without being seen or shared by others. YourNews24 is an outlet that offers an opportunity to air news from your area. Pretty. neat. stuff. Half way through our chat, Rosie whipped out her flip camera and did an impromptu interview with me about my experience starting Glö and being a web entrepreneur. If you can ignore the wicked bad hair day I was having and the fact that I don’t have a lick of […]
