Hi guys, its time once again for our weekly Mash Up series! We normally post the mash ups on Sunday night, but do to internet connection issues, I was having difficulty uploading and working on articles over the weekend. So every article from last Friday was pushed back a few days. I am still having an issue with my internet connection, but it’s at least a little better and should be back to normal very soon.
This week we have a great selection of new media related articles. I found three great articles in design, one great article about copyright infringement, one article/audio interview about making money online while you sleep, and a couple great WordPress articles.
Design
The do’s and don’ts of Flash
"Developing fully interactive websites is an amazing experience whose technology is in a current state of change. We’re not only seeing big changes in terms of platforms used for that purpose – HTML5 anyone? – but also in the workflow employed when developing those (so-called) rich websites.
I think that Flash is a particularly acute example of the latter. The platform has evolved a lot through the years, not only in regards to what it can do, but in how one should do it. In that sense, the rich online experiences we create can now be more powerful than ever, so here’s a few pointers on how to get it done a little more efficiently."

Copyright Infringement
Digital Thieves – What to do if they steal your design or content
"It is always good to know your rights – the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is the act, which prevents other people from using your work, but the act is not without its flaws or “loopholes.” It has a fair use clause, which can be exploited by people that have decided to use somebody else’s content or design work, and there have been a number of high profile cases, where the judges have ruled in favor of the person(s) who have used the content since each case is different. However, there is a lot you can do on your own, without having to hire a lawyer, and if another person has decided to “borrow” your design and is reselling it or have used it in their work without your consent, then they are unlikely to argue a fair use clause."
Making Money Online

Hey James,
Your post is always informative and it feeds our minds and motivates us to be better.
I had to deal with a case of copyright infringement just the other day. My latest post, <a href="http://www.hensher.ca/graphic-design-pricing"graphic design pricing, was stolen, verbatim, including the custom illustration I created for the post. Considering I put 3 days of solid effort into the post, I was pretty livid. I contacted the owner of the offending blog and advised them they were under breech of copyright. Thankfully, they took it down within 24 hours, and I didn’t have to pursue other means.
