		<description><![CDATA[It's been a minutes since I posted some web inspiration on my blog and I thought it was just great timing. Thanks to the power of social media I had the opportunity to chat with the owner of Bound By Stars (Jeff Boshers) this month and I wanted to feature his website as one of my favorites this week. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wpbuzzer_button" style="float: right"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-count" data-url="http://www.impactdesignworks.com/blog/website-of-the-week-april-12/" data-imageurl=""></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div><p>When it comes to good designs I usually tend to go with a clean layout and great typography and <a title="Bound By Stars" href="http://boundbystars.com" target="_blank">Bound By Stars</a> has just that. The bold headers are easy to read and compliment the nice image scrolling effect to show off Jeff&#8217;s portfolio. From the logo and branding all the way to the contact form and footer this site has a great look and feel. Take a look below.</p>

<p><strong>About Bound By Stars</strong> &#8211; Boundbystars.com is the online playing ground for Jeff Boshers, an  ambitious twenty-something from the No Coast area of the states  (Tennessee), who dreams in Illustrator and lives in CSS. Jeff brings  diversity and creativity all in one package, not being shy of the off  the wall and unique elements other designers seem to be afraid to  tackle. Jeff is willing to take risks that he believes will benefit not  only the client but the client’s customers. Taking risks is how real  success is made. Jeff turns ordinary pre-existing websites into rare  masterpieces that will transform the way your customers access your  site.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With the explosion of social media over the past year, it was only a matter of time before Google would decide to get into the mix. This tutorial will show you how to implement the "buzz this" icon on your WordPress blog in 5 minutes.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wpbuzzer_button" style="float: right"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-count" data-url="http://www.impactdesignworks.com/blog/add-a-google-buzz-this-icon-to-your-wordpress-blog-in-5-min/" data-imageurl=""></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div><p>If you currently run a blog then you should already know that giving a user multiple options to share your posts is the most powerful way to get your content heard. If you are a newbie then now you know. When <a title="Twitter" href="http://twitter.com" target="_blank">twitter</a> came out people started implementing the <a title="Retweet" href="http://www.retweet.com/" target="_blank">retweet </a>button in blog articles soon after.  Well, you can pretty much bet that <a title="Google Buzz" href="http://www.google.com/buzz" target="_blank">Google Buzz</a> will be just as popular soon, so there is no reason to wait. Here is a simple way to implement the &#8220;buzz this&#8221; icon in your posts.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong> &#8211; Download the <a title="Wp Buzzer" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-buzzer/" target="_blank">Wp Buzzer plugin.</a></p>
<p>This is one of the best Buzz plugins that I have found out there so far.  I am sure there will be more once Buzz starts to catch on. After you have downloaded the plugin, open up your WordPress dashboard.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong> &#8211; Upload the plugin to the WordPress back end.</p>
<p>There are multiple ways to upload the plugin. The easiest way is to upload in <em>wp-content/plugins</em> folder on your server. After you have uploaded the files, head over to the WordPress dashboard and activate it.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong> &#8211; Activate the plugin, adjust your settings and your done!</p>
<p>Below is a screen shot of the setting I use for the plugin.  You can also add your own CSS Style to adjust it to your post, and tell the plugin to place the icon at the top or at the bottom of your post.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.impactdesignworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzzthis_img1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-399" title="buzzthis_img1" src="http://www.impactdesignworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzzthis_img1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="507" /></a></p>
<p>This is a super easy way to implement the Google Buzz this icon on your blog post.  If you have any questions leave a comment or email me and I will be happy to help out. Keep checking back for more tutorials&#8230;</p>
