On the iPad
Okay, we've spent the last several months exploring and developing things on the iPad tablet platform. While we don't want to sound like an Apple commercial, and we don't want to add needless volume to the noisy hype surrounding this new technology, and we don't want to sound like we've totally gone off our rocker, we do want to express our opinion...

The Tao of iZotz
At first glance iZotz probably looks like one of the zillion website building tools that flood the internet highways. And on the surface it certainly is. Here's a little bit of the iZotz philosophy.
iZotz as Add-on
You can use iZotz to build a big website. But you can also use it to build add-ons to your current website. You don't need to abandon everything you already have to leverage iZotz modules into your web presence.
Using the Photo Gallery Module for Breaking News
One of the best things about the internet is how it can be so immediate. Say it, see it, post it, and everyone gets to share in it. And the Photo Gallery module can help you do that.
Building Projects Offline
When building a new project, new pages for a website, or performing a major website overhaul, use these strategies to help you make the transition from stage to live.
iZotz For Beginners
Putting things on the web using iZotz can be really easy. As your needs evolve, it can get more complicated. This introduction will give you a foundation which will make things easier for you.
The Disposable Website
Thinking about the web differently. Maybe it doesn't have to be so permanent.
Project Management Website Template
A disposable website that enables a team of people to collaborate on projects. Perfect for contractors, software developers, event planners, lawyers, or any other group of people who might need to communicate while working on a project.
iZotz Mobile iPhone
iZotz Mobile gives you complete access to your iZotz administrator through your iPhone.
WIKI
WIKI is that cool little thing you see at the bottom of many webpages that allows you to post comments about the content on a webpage. You can enable WIKI in many iZotz modules.
When to Get Another iZotz Account
You can build as many websites and pages as you want under your iZotz membership, so why would you need more than one account?
Messaging
The Messaging module allows you to create messaging applications that allow website members to send non-email messages to website adminstrators, a select list of people, or each other.
Quick Prototypes
Whether or not you are building an iZotz project, iZotz can help you shorten development time on any website project. Use iZotz to prototype your projects.
eStore
Designed to be easy to run, the eStore template lets you create online stores to sell either electronic products or hard goods, and includes a shopping cart, online payment processing, order manager, and a "specials" page.
Schedules and Calendars
The new schedule templates let you build personal and shared calendars, work schedulers, appointment managers, and all kinds of other date related projects.
Create an Online Newspaper
The Newspaper template makes it a snap to create and maintain online newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and when used with a little creative thought...highly adaptible standalone websites.
Creating a Custom Administration Page
Use custom administration pages to limit administration options, reduce training, and make administrating projects painless.
Using Friendly URL Names
When you create a new iZotz project, it gets assigned a randomly generated ID number. This ID number is then used in a URL to reach your project on the web. Using the Friendly URL Name tool you can create user friendly URL names and replace those random ID's, making it much easier to remember your project URL's.

Are You Into Online Games?
The Online Game Module Lets You Make Your Own Game Website

here are a lot of people out there publishing online games. Some are free, some you pay for. A lot of them can be added to your own website simply by copying a bit of code.

The Online Game module lets you do just that. It creates a page where you can place as many of these online games as you want. Your website users click the game, and play it right in your website. You can even allow website visitors to add their own games...making your website something of a Gaming Social Network.

In fact, if you add a Blog module, the Social Network module, maybe the Photo Gallery module, and some of the other community modules available in the izotz module library...you've really got a full on Community Website centered on Gaming.

Where do you find these games? Do a search on google for "online games", and you'll come up with a lot of places to look. One of the best is http://www.miniclip.com/games/en/webmaster-games.php. MINICLIP.COM has loads of free games that you can add to your website. Some websites charge you a membership fee, or charge you for the game. If you look around, you'll find thousands of games you can add to your website.

Who Needs This?

Anyone who likes online games, who wants to create their own library of fun stuff, and who maybe wants to share with their friends. Or, maybe you are a parent and you want to create a carefully selected library of games for your kids. Make a family website...and add this module. Select a few fun games, and you've got your own "safe" place for your kids to play online.

Using the Online Games Module

Like all other izotz modules, to use this one you just click the Add Module button, select it from the module list, then either run it as a standalone webpage or add it to the navigation menu of your website project.

The module has a widget that displays a module library from the MiniClip.com website. This widget gives you easy access to their library of games, but when you click a game you go to their website to play it. If you are a concerned parent, you can disable this feature and the widget won't be shown on your Game page.

The better way to set things up is to Add Your Own Games by clicking the Add Games button. First, find a game you want to add. For example, if you visit the link above you'll see a list of several hundred free online games at miniclip.com (by the way...izotz has no link to miniclip.com, it's just that we know they've got a bunch of cool free stuff...some of it very good), when you find a game you want, click their GET CODE button, then copy the code for the game. The code is really just a link to a FLASH file on the miniclip.com server. Paste this code into your webpage in the code box, save the page, and voila...you've got an online game in your game library.

You can have as many Online Game modules in your website as you want. So you could create pages for Adventure games, Sports Games, Stupid Games, and Real Time Wasting But Fun Games. And like I said...combine this module with a few others, and you've got a real community Gaming website.

Have Fun!
