Strip Generator – Create Free Highly Customizable Web Comics In Minutes


class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/intro2.png" alt="create web comics" />If you’re a fan of href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/comics/">web comics then chances are you’ve had a few ideas for your own in the past. The only problem is you need some drawing skills, plenty of patience and a fondness for href="http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/download-idiot-guide-photoshop/">Photoshop, href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-websites-learn-gimp-photo-editor-online/">GIMP or other imaging software if you want to start from scratch.

We’ve had href="http://www.stripgenerator.com/">Strip Generator in our href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/">MakeUseOf Directory for a while now but the site has gone through a number of changes over the years with new features and the introduction of a cleaner, easier to use interface. It really couldn’t be simpler to drop in some characters, objects and text down before sharing it with your friends. No artistic skills required, simply let your ideas take shape!

Uses For Strip Generator

Artists and those blessed with the ability to draw will probably look down on Strip Generator for its drag-and-drop simplicity. This makes it perfect for those with an idea, a punchline or a joke between friends to bring their ideas to 2D life in minutes.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/items.png" alt="create web comics" width="572" height="186" />

Even those who draw their own strips from scratch may find uses for the website; as a storyboard or a plan for larger projects. If you’re interested in transferring your comics from pen-and-paper so you can design offline, check out href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-make-a-quick-and-easy-web-comic/">our guide.

There are also more ambitious Strip Generator comics floating around the website, which show off some of the more off-beat community creations (like this href="http://stripgenerator.com/strip/501574/helicoptero/view/bribed/">Helicoptero strip). Using objects and tools in ways other than they were intended requires a bit of experimentation, but is testament to the adaptability of the sandbox you have in front of you.

You don’t need to register to use Strip Generator, so to get started simply visit the homepage and click Create New Strip. You’ll be asked once your strip is complete to register, so you can save your creations and re-edit ongoing projects.

The Workspace

When starting your strip, you are presented with the simple 3 frame comic format, which you can change by clicking on Frames at the top of the strip. Here you’re presented with lots of options, including 1 or 2 rows, full page designs and custom frames you define yourself.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/frames.png" alt="create webcomic" width="578" height="220" />

You should always choose your frame first, and be sure of your decision. Changing the frame after beginning your strip will delete the lot, something you’ll be hoping to avoid. Once you’ve decided on a frame the rest is experimentation.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/characters.png" alt="create webcomic" width="529" height="209" />

Characters and objects are handled by Strip Generator in the same way, and are highly transformable. Once you’ve chosen something from the appropriate tab, drag it into one of your frames. Clicking the item will highlight it, and display the scale and rotate controls – simply click and drag.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/transform.png" alt="create webcomic" width="296" height="283" />

After selecting an object, the area to the right of your comic strip will display the various manipulations you can perform. These include sending the object forward and back (layers), adding blur and transparency and moving the object between frames, or detaching it altogether. If you’ve ever used href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/image-tools/">photo manipulation software in the past then it should all be fairly familiar.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/objecttools.png" alt="web comic generator" width="246" height="382" />

Text is handled similarly and whilst there’s no font options you can adjust size, placement, bold and italics and justification. Text can also be blurred, much like objects and the speech or thought bubble’s roundness can be user-defined too.

Sharing Your Creations

Once you’ve completed your strip hit Finish at the bottom. You will be taken to a page where you can define a thumbnail, add tags so your comic can be found and last of all give your strip a name. Hitting Publish will publish your work as an anonymous user, and on the next page you will be prompted to either log in or sign up to claim the credit.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/description.png" alt="web comic generator" width="580" height="209" />

You don’t have to register however, and you can remain anonymous if you please. If you do choose to register you will be given a Strip Generator blog, the URL of which will be username.stripgenerator.com.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/register.png" alt="web comic generator" width="476" height="238" />

There are all manner of href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/2-ways-to-add-social-bookmarking-buttons-to-your-blog/">social buttons and sharing options afoot your new creation, you can even href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-easy-bookmarklets-print-nice-web-pages-craplets/">print it out or simply save the image in your browser as you would normally.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/final.png" alt="create web comics" width="580" height="331" />

Conclusion

Strip Generator is a lot of fun, partly because it’s so easy to use and partly for the near-instantaneous results. If you’ve not got the patience to draw a full strip, have a spare 5 minutes and a great one-liner then Strip Generator is calling for your contributions.

Volunteer Professional Skills To Charity In 5 Minutes With Sparked


class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Sparked-Challenges-300.png" alt="volunteer opportunities" />You’re a busy professional trying to get on with your life and career. You haven’t really got enough spare time to dedicate hours of your valuable free time to volunteer, but you still want to be able to help charity on occasion. What do you do?

Join class="vt-p" href="http://sparked.com/">Sparked! Sparked enables busy professionals to help charities by micro-volunteering. Basically, if you have 5 minutes to spare, you can help a charity anywhere in the world.

id="more-56741"> /> Sparked is the connector between the volunteer organisations and the people who can help. All you need to do is join!

Why Volunteer With Sparked?

style="border: 0px none;margin-left:20px;float:right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Sparked.png" />Sparked enables you to help charities:

  • whenever you have 5 minutes spare.
  • by quickly utilising your most valuable skills.
  • without committing to future work.
  • which you choose to be most important.

Volunteering With Sparked

Signing up for Sparked takes very little time and you can begin your volunteering in a matter of minutes. During the sign-up, you’ll be asked to list your professional skills and the charity types that you care for the most. This way, the tasks you are shown will be matched to both your abilities and tastes.

Sparked also allows you to nominate languages which you know, so you can assist as many charities as possible.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Causes-Skills.png" alt="volunteer opportunities" />

Registering A Volunteer Organisation

To help attract more volunteer organisations, I’ll make this point clear: Your organisation is worth registering. Register and see what other organisations are setting as challenges. Get ideas from others and run with them. No doubt other groups are getting help with things you never would have dreamed of asking about. Take a look around! If it can be done on a computer, it can be done by Sparked volunteers.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/How-it-Works-Volunteer.png" alt="volunteer work" />

Do you have lots of volunteers ready, but don’t know how to find the right person for the job? Ask your regular volunteers to join Sparked — you never know who might be able to help you with a task. Link Sparked to Twitter and Facebook in order to let your followers know there’s work you need done.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Sparked-Challenges.png" alt="volunteer work" />

Social Good For Business

If you run a business and you want to donate some of your talent to charity, this is an ideal way to do it. Register your business with Sparked and encourage your staff members to participate in idle moments. Time is automatically tallied, so you can see how many hours your business has donated overall.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Sparked-Volunteer-Tracking.png" alt="volunteer work" />

Sparked also recommends that for exposure you ask your employees to link their activities to their Facebook and Twitter accounts, meaning that every time they do volunteer work your business is rewarded by some publicity about your charity work.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Sparked-Giving-Back.png" alt="volunteer programs" />

Conclusion

As a means for getting charity work completed by professionals, Sparked is a fantastic tool for the job. It’s so easy to drop in when you have a spare 5-10 minutes and do something that will really help a charity, indirectly helping the environment or the needy. It’s this sort of simple management tool which will enable these charities to really thrive.

For professionals, it’s a way of being able to quickly make use of your skills to directly benefit charity, which is far more useful than sacrificing your time to help with fundraising drives.

Sparked’s only potential weakness lies in attracting more non-profit organisations and allowing people to more finely-tune the organisations they wish to work for. It would be nice to be able to filter tasks for high-profile non-profits or for specific countries or cities. At this stage that’s not so relevant, as the available non-profits are still limited.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Sparked-Splash-Page.png" alt="volunteer opportunities" />

I’m very excited about Sparked as a tool for social good and I encourage all non-profits, businesses and professionals to register now. Let us know what you think of Sparked in the comments! />

    How to Get a Classroom of Kids Blogging in Under 5 Minutes!


    style="border: 0px none;margin-left:20px;float:right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/shutterstock_62685388.jpg" alt="kids online blogging"/>Don’t you just love it when someone thinks logically about a problem and comes up with a simple solution to solve it which everyone can enjoy? Well, this time it’s href="http://makeuseof.com/tags/teachers">teachers who are on the receiving end of a well-thought-out plan.

    href="http://Kidblog.org">Kidblog.org is a service designed by teachers for teachers. They have made the process of creating and monitoring a class blog safe and efficient. Sign-ups are fast and simple, making it easy to co-ordinate a whole class of new students. At the same time, the blog’s privacy and security is protected by default. This makes life incredibly easy for the teacher, allowing you to get straight in to the fun bit of blogging!

    id="more-56026"> /> The primary differences between Kidblog and any other free blogging platform is the default class-only privacy level and the superbly easy way of bulk-adding user accounts for students without requiring email addresses and confirmation of invites. Anyone who has ever tried to set up a group-run blog can attest that it’s sometimes a little tricky to ensure the technophobes verify their invites. Imagine doing that with a class-full of kids! The Kidblog system means you skip all of that fuss and move on to the blogging straight away. If you have your .csv file ready, you could sign up and have your kids blogging in less than five minutes!

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Kidblog-logo.png" alt="kids online blogging"/>

    Setting up a teacher account

    The teacher account is a straightforward sign-up: choose a password, add a few details and you’re in.

    Create a New Class

    The blog creation is controlled by “classes”. The theory is that you’ll want the class to collaborate on a blog together, with all members as users of that blog.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Create-a-Class-Link.png" alt="blogs for kids"/>

    The class name is the blog name, which becomes part of the URL for the class blog too. You’ll want to set up initially as one class, even if there’s smaller group projects within the class, since the default privacy level is for students to be able to see other classmate’s work. If they’re not in the same class, they won’t be able to see it (or you’ll need to change the privacy).

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Blog-View.png" alt="blogs for kids"/>

    You’re limited to 200 kids per class, but it’s suggested that if you need more usernames you simply start a new class, add the new users to that and then invite them to the original class. You can easily keep adding classes every school year and importing the users from older classes. This gives the kids a little continuity, too.

    Privacy and Security

    Permissions for viewing posts are set by default to “Class members only”, so only the people you’ve added to this class will be able to see posts. It’s also possible to add more teachers to administrate and to add parent accounts as guests if you want to enable parents to see the classwork. Comments are set to be moderated by default, so teachers will be able to block any of the nasty comments made by certain kids. If you do choose to make the blog public, you can continue to filter unsolicited comments.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Dashboard.png" alt="blogs for kids"/>

    Add Users

    Adding users can be done individually or as a bulk upload, which is recommended.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Create-Users.png" alt="kids blog"/>

    The bulk upload involves creating a .csv file with just name and password. You can do this easily by using a spreadsheet with a column for name and a column for passwords, then exporting it as a .csv file.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/CSV.png" alt="kids blog"/>

    Once the users are added, they can log in and start writing straight away. Don’t worry about the usernames – your kids won’t need to memorise those!

    Groups

    If you’ve got several groups of kids in the one class all working on different group projects, you’ll want to set up appropriate “Groups” each with relevant names.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Blue-Group.png" alt="kids blog"/>

    Once the groups are set up, kids viewing the blog can look at posts just by one person or filter to show just relevant groups.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Red-Group.png" />

    For Kids

    Tell your students to go to the blog URL (you find your blog URL by clicking on the “Go to Class Blog” link at the top of your dashboard). Kids can click on the “Log In” link and they are given a drop-down list of names to choose from. So, they only need to remember a password!

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Select-Your-Name.png" />

    Once logged in, they can browse their friend’s posts or filter for groups using the drop-down menu. They can write posts which must then be moderated by the teacher before publishing.

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Add-new-Post.png" />

    Overview

    Kidblog is based on href="http://makeuseof.com/tags/wordpress">WordPress, but has been customised with a teacher’s needs in mind. It’s free, uncluttered, ad-free, easy to set up and private by default. No information is collected from students and the teacher remains in control of all activity. My only request to Kidblog would be to add a few more default themes so that there can be a little more variety!

    style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Alternate-Theme.png" alt="kids online blogging"/>

    I strongly encourage all teachers and other facilitators of kids activities to have a go at using Kidblog. The possibilites are endless: writing groups; book clubs; assignments; group work; uploading photos of artwork; team spirit and post-game analysis; practise blogging in a second language; or getting kids to simply list off the most interesting things they learned that day. What will you use Kidblog for?

    Pc Registry Fix in Less Than 10 Minutes


    When faced with the need for PC registry fix, frustration and overwhelm can just add to the symptoms on the computer.

    If slow, crashing, or freezing computer problems have you down, registry repair may be the logical next step. If you have already purchased a virus removal program and the problems still exist, again there are signs that a registry fix may be exactly what you need.

    Some of the most common symptoms related registry problems are:

    1. Slow computer problems

    2. Constant reboots

    3. PC opens programs slow

    4. Start up is also slow

    5. It is difficult to add or remove programs

    6. Longer than normal computer response times

    7. Shut downs are abnormal

    8. You are getting the Blue Screen of Death

    If these symptoms are part of your current experience, the following steps will help you get back on your feet quickly:

    Step One: Make a Complete List of all Symptoms You Have Noticed

    Creating a foundational measurement before repair can be a good step. This will allow you to measure the results after completing the steps in this article. You can then determine if you have managed to get rid of the problems that you have faced.

    Start with the list above and fill in more details about each item listed. This could include the processes active at the time of the errors, what you are specifically doing when your system acts up, and how often the problems occur.

    Step Two: Choose a Quality PC Registry Fix Software for a Free Scan

    There are a handful of fantastic products on the market that can solve your registry problems in less than 10-15 minutes. It is difficult to know what products to trust when you have never shopped for one before. Do not get intimidated.

    There are a couple key features to look for. The first is simplicity of the software itself. If the product was designed by NASA and only Astronauts can understand it, it is not a wise bet.

    Also, look at optimization tools. For example, the best products include Internet Explorer plug in removers, evidence cleaners, junk file cleaners, and other tools beyond the registry.

    Finally, make sure that adequate help files are at your fingertips (whether local or online). The chances are good that you will never need a live person, so do not limit yourself to having to have a live person to speak with.

    After choosing a quality PC registry fix product to download, run the full scan options to see what errors the software detects. If errors are found, move onto to step three. If not, you can determine if you want to stop or if you will still purchase the software as protection for the future.

    Step Three: Purchase the Full Version of the Software So You Can Repair Your System

    The same software that you just used to scan your computer will have a purchase screen that activates after the free scan is finished and errors are displayed. You can simply register a copy. Make sure that you will get the software for unlimited use for the next year. You can then scan weekly to maintain your system and lower the chances of future problems.

    The download and scanning take the longest. The repair takes just seconds. Be sure to restart your computer after you finish the repair, which will acknowledge the changes and will allow you to see how what issues were fixed.

    PC registry fix is a simple process when you have the help of good software. Do not try to fix the registry yourself as you will create huge problems if you are not sure what you are doing.

    Why take a chance when so many great products are available to do it for you?

    How To Change Password Of Users In Windows XP In 5 minutes


    My friend asked about how to change the passwords of users in Windows XP. I just researched and found out some ways to change the password of users in Windows XP. I’m explaining every way one by one. If you know any other interesting way, please let me know through comments.

    Using Ctrl Alt Delete

    This is the easiest one in my opinion. If your press Ctrl Alt Del when you are logged onto your Windows XP machine, it will show you the classic security options.

    Select change password and change the password of the logged on user.

    Note: If the security options does not appear. Task manager shows up instead of the security options. Just go to Start –> Control Panel –> User Accounts –> Change the way Users Log on or off.

    Uncheck Use the Welcome Screen. Log off and logon again. Now pressing Ctrl Alt Del will show the security options window.

    Using Control Panel

    To change your password using Control Panel, go to Start –> Control Panel –> User Accounts

    Tip: You can also open control panel by Start –> Run –> control. This will open Control Panel.

    Select the user for which you want to change the password and select Change my password.

    Please note that you may need appropriate privileges to change the password of another user.

    Using Command Prompt

    To change the password of a user from the command prompt, go to Run –> cmd.

    Command prompt will open. Use the following commands to change the password:

    net user username password /domain

    Replace username with the original username and password with the new password you want to assign to that user. /domain is optional. If you are in a domain environment, specify the domain name otherwise, if you’re using a local user, leave /domain. If I want to change the password of user Sanix to 12345. I will issue the following command at command prompt:

    net user Sanix 12345

    It will change the password of the user Sanix to 12345. Please note that if you’re not logged on as an administrator, you will get the following error:

    “System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied”

    If you want to have full usage of the net user command, go to the following  Microsoft Article.

    Using Control userpasswords2

    To use this classic user management, go to Start –> Run –> control userpasswords2

    This will open the classic user accounts management window. Select any user and select reset password.

    Using Computer Management Console

    To use the computer management console to change the passwords of the users, right click My Computer –> Manage –> Local Users And Groups –> Users

    Right click the username for which you want to change the password and select Reset Password.

    If you have any other method of changing the password, please let me know through comments. Thanks.

     

    Using password tool

    Microsoft Registry Fix in Less Than 10 Minutes


    Microsoft registry fix is a practice that must become part of our annual computer maintenance plans if we want a PC that is stable and operates efficiently. 

    Many people only complete a Microsoft registry fix when their computers start experiencing slow computer problems, computer crashes and freezes, or delayed response times. Some of the other signs the need for registry repair include problems adding or removing software programs, slow start up processes, specific error messages related to the registry, and a blue screen of death that appears when your computer has hit its limit. 

    If you are ready for Microsoft registry fix and are not too sure of how to best go about completing the repair, this article will outline steps that are vital. 

    Step One: Understand and Detail Your Current Computer Problems

    Awareness is the first key to knowing what needs to be fixed on your PC. This step will require a list be made of each of the problems you have found on your computer in recent months. You can start with the list above and add to it until you have a solid amount of symptoms you are experiencing. 

    This list will come in handy when you finish the remaining steps and are ready to go back and see what problems were fixed. Keep in mind that registry repair is only one of a couple protection and repair areas. It is also good to have software for spyware, adware, and malware removal as well as a general virus scan. Registry software is still vital to keep on your PC, but is just one piece of a solid protection plan. 

    Registry problems will grow over time if not addressed. Each time you add or remove programs, incomplete registry keys are left behind that will bloat your computer. The result will be the symptoms listed at the start of this article. 

    Step Two: Do a Free Scan of Your Registry 

    The best registry repair products have a free scan feature that can be used to detect problems in advance of making a purchase of the software. This is useful because you will have the option of whether to purchase the software for an ongoing maintenance of your system or to repair immediate problems. 

    There are some additional features to look for in the top Microsoft registry fix products. One is simple to use user interfaces in the software itself. If you have to read a manual just to use the software (for such a simple process), the software is not designed well. 

    Another key feature is to have a selective file repair option where you can ignore certain files names that relate to processes on your PC that you do not want touched. Most of the top products also include an automatic backup feature that will save your prior files the way they were before repair in case you are not happy with the repair results. 

    Step Three: Use the Same Software to Complete the Repair 

    This is the final step of Microsoft registry fix. The software that was just used to scan can be purchased immediately to fix the errors. You will be given an option of licensing one computer or multiples, which gives you a discount for additional computers you want added.
