POTW: Prince Nod

Posted on by

PROJEQT OF THE WEEK: Prince Nod (aka Sean Taylor) shows us how to add a pulse to your story when creating your first impression on the web.

This Australian broadcast radio producer/announcer and DJ’s Projeqt serves as his brief “About Me” page, and utilizes a variety of slide types (way to go!). We love how he’s simply used our pulse slides to pull in live feeds from his Twitter, blog and Facebook pages – and how he’s creatively utilized our Soundcloud slides to showcase his work.

If you’re a musician, band or DJ who’s also used Projeqt to showcase your music, drop us a line – we’re curious to see what you’ve done with your Projeqt.

NEWS: Come and Meet Projeqt at SXSWi

Posted on by

In two weeks’ time, the Projeqt team will be packing our bags and hopping on a plane to Austin for the SXSWi festival and 5 days of nerding out.

If you are going to be in Austin, we’d love to meet you. We’ll be hanging out with our friends from SoundCloud for a couple of days at their Open House. Come by, say hi and grab a beer.

And if you are a journalist and want the scoop on Projeqt, email us to arrange a time to come and talk with us. We’ll be doing demos and spilling the beans on what we’ve been up to and what’s in store for Projeqt.

Hope to see you there!

Improved: RSS Slides Now Features Images

Posted on by

IMPROVED: RSS SLIDE NOW PULLS IN IMAGES<br /> If you&#8217;ve ever used the RSS slide in Projeqt, you&#8217;ll know how it neatly pulls in the RSS text feed from any blog or website. Our RSS slide has recently undergone a facelift, and now automatically pulls in all images from the feed as well. There can never be too many visuals, right? <br /> However, if you&#8217;re not a fan of visuals, you still have the option to switch off the image embeds by unchecking the &#8220;Show Images&#8221; option on your RSS slide.
