The following is a step by step guide to customising your Perihelion logo image by replacing the logo text with your own organisation or company's name and logo. In order to utilise the Fireworks Source PNG included with the perihelion template release, you will need Adobe Fireworks. The 30-day free trial of this software as well as more information is available here at the Adobe website. Logo Editing Video TutorialLearn how to customise your Perihelion logo using Adobe Fireworks with this detailed video tutorial. Watch Now!One of the first steps of customising your new Perihelion template will undoubtedly be altering the logo text to reflect the name of your company / organisation. RocketTheme makes this process a simple one by including both the Source PNG for the template, as well as the font(s) used. The most effective way to customise the logo is to use the included Source PNG file. When opened in Adobe Fireworks, this file contains all of the Layers in the design allowing you to tweak and change any of the image elements of the template design. The following steps will help you quickly get your new logo ready to go: Step 1First, open the header Source PNG file in Adobe Fireworks. On the right side, you will notice a taskbar named Layers. Inside this column, a list of elements within the source will appear, divided into folders. The first is Web Layers which controls the green slices on the page that are used to export the images. Click the eye which is immediately left to the folder name Web Layers to make it invisible. This allows use to edit the logo.
Step 2Next, double click on the logo which should be position in top-left. This will activate the text tool so you can edit the element. Highlight the entire text box with your cursor and type your text instead(such as your company name.)  Next, double click on the slogan which is beneath the logo. This will activate the text tool so you can edit the element. Highlight the entire text box with your cursor and type your text instead(such as your company slogan). You may need to drag and move the second text block  
Step 3Next, we need to turn off the background slice in the Layers palette to preserve our logo transparency. It is called Group 7 Objects layer. Next, reactivate the Web Layers slice. As you did in the initial step, select the eye icon to make it visible and subsequently making the slices visible on the canvas. Select the logo slice, either on the canvas itself or in the Web Layers folder. If you find the slice is too small, hover your cursor the blue points around the slice and drag it to a new size.
Step 4To export your logo, right click on the green slice that is situated above your new logo. A popup menu should appear with numerous options. The value we want to deal with is "Export Selected Slice...". As the name suggests, this option will export/save this slice only out of the entire source window.
Step 5If you are new to Fireworks, you may be wondering why it appears that there is only one style variation in the source. This is not the case as we take advantage of the Frame features of Fireworks. You need to simply switch frames to see all the other style variation sources.There are a few ways to change frames and we will show 2 methods that you can use. In the right column where you find the Layers toolbar including the Web Layers area, you should see another tab/toolbar named Frames. Just left click on the title Frames to enter the frames area. Then you can click on either of the frames which are named to show which style variant is on that particular frame.  The second method is the most easiest and simplistic. At the bottom of the Fireworks canvas is a row of buttons, arrows just as previous and next. Select the arrows to switch between frames.  Step 6Once you have successfully edited then exported your new logo, you will need to upload it to your server. This process is best done via a FTP client such as Filezilla

Unpredictable. Slow. Bleak. Grim. Gloomy. All words that have been used to describe the economic outlook for the balance of 2008—and depending upon who you talk to, the scenario for 2009 and beyond. Standard & Poor’s believes the economic difficulties we’ve been experiencing due to the mortgage mess and skyrocketing oil prices will be at their worst early next year (BusinessWeek.com, 6/13/08). And while the housing market is sure to recover, oil prices may never come back down. That means more tough times for the economy, both in the U.S. and globally.
What’s a responsible business leader to do? Perhaps the slowdown already has made an impact on your company. Or maybe you can see it coming but aren’t sure exactly when and how it will hit. In either case, the most important thing is to keep your wits about you and not succumb to five common mistakes companies often make when times get tough.

Trillium Digital would like to take the time to commemorate Administrative Professionals Day® not just because it is usually the office managers, secretaries, and administrative assistants who are in charge of ordering our coffees and selecting their office's Keurig® single-cup brewer, but because at companies like Green Mountain Coffee, as in most workplaces, they are the backbone of the organization (and some of our favorite people, too).
Since 1952, the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) has honored office workers by sponsoring Administrative Professionals Week (April 23-28 this year). Outside of employee birthdays and major holidays, it is one of the largest workplace observances. The event is now celebrated worldwide, bringing together millions of people for community events, educational seminars and individual corporate activities recognizing support staff.
The theme for the 2012 Administrative Professionals Day® is: “Admins, the pulse of the office.”
Trillium Digital co-founder Reid Greenberg & Tom Funk (Green Mountain Coffee Roasters) provide simple tips to boost conversion rates for your e-commerce site.
1. Make Me Feel Safe
On average adding a VeriSign seal to the homepage yielded an average lift up to 20%.
2. Near Miss Messaging on Cart
Green Mountain Coffee saw unit per order increases and conversion rate increases when implementing this strategy.
