My supergirl opinions, note that I've only watched 2 seasons+ and it's been a while (note, I do not remember character names.)
I love Kara Danvers really. Like she's the sweetest, dedicated, most hardworking. But everyone has their flaws. And she.... she has them.
She is a good person, likeable even, BUT. She is a trash friend. I'm sorry to say. But she csn be an absolute awful friend. Example with Lex Luther's sister. She believed that she did something? Idk, and went on questioning her because of her families reputation. Like, bruh. That is your friend who cares for you. Why??
This also applies to all her other friends to be honest. Ofcourse I don't remember much, but I'm pretty sure there was a point she was like not the best with her work friend who user to be in love with her. And this can go with relationships too...
Like for Jimmy Olsen? Did I get that right? Anyway yeah. With Jimmy Olsen. Like relationships obviously aren't her strong league, but yeah. And yeah they broke it off, and became friends? But.. uh. I'm pretty sure there was a point she was just straight up unsupportive and overprotective. COURSE the overprotectiveness is understandable, but it is his life, but it shows she CARES.
Yeah so that's it. I'll have more opinions and adjustments once I rewatch and actually finish this whole thing.

Fuzzy's Fallout 4 Mod List
Tumblr media
Finally decided to put together a list of the mods I use. (I even made a quick and crappy banner!)
I use Vortex to manage my mods, it's super easy and basically holds your hand through installing and setting up mods. You're also going to need F4SE no matter what.
I mostly find my mods on Nexus, so just search the names listed here on there. Anything not found on Nexus will have a link to it (tumblr only allows 100 links, so I couldn't just link everything).
I would also recommend keeping all of your original file downloads in a seperate folder in your games drive or wherever, organised however is easiest for you. That way you can check what you have outside of the manager, and don't have to re-download everything if you decide you need to nuke vortex and start fresh - just look for updated files only. You also won't completely lose access to the mods you really enjoy if the author decides to hide or get rid of them, since you'll always keep a version on your computer.
I also play with a lot of Creation Club content.
Woe be upon those who enter beyond here, the list is long.
Misc
These are either scripts, fixes, little changes to random things, or just didn't fit in any other category for whatever reason.
Achievements (Enables achievement gain while using mods.)
Better Notes
Publick Occurrences Expanded (Requires 'Better Notes'. Makes the newspaper look better, and also adds new articles for quests and events worth writing news about. Piper's actually got a job now.)

Classic Radiation Poisoning
Crafting Highlight Fix
Durable Vertibirds (They'll actually be able to put up a real fight with some super mutants before they still end up falling out of the sky on my head.)
Equipment and Crafting Overhaul (ECO)
Extended Dialogue Interface
HUDFramework (You need this to make the above mod work.)
Loot Logic and Reduction (No more post-war items in pre-war safes.)
Immersive Generic Dialogues (Settler reputation. They talk differently to you based on how happy they are.)

We Are The Minutemen
We Are The Minutemen - Militarized Minutemen - Uniform Patches and Insignia Addon - Compatibility Patch

Codsworth Out of Time Fix (The creator has hidden this mod but it's a real lifesaver if you use a lot of Creation Club content, as the influx of data at the start of the game can bug the start of the main quest, and thus him and Preston. This mod lets you immersively skip the post-war Sanctuary tour and bug exterminating by telling him you already did it, which is where Codsworth would glitch out - not following along and not progressing the quest stage.

These are mods I don't play with all the time, just when I'm looking for a more hardcore run around the Commonwealth and want to spend the extra time taking care of my character in the wild.
Agony (Rebalances damage, wounds, and healing - really lives up to it's name.)
Animated Chems Redone (Adds more animations similar to Agony, covering what they missed.)
APC Transport (Useful if you don't want to 'cheat' by using regular fast travel but don't want to hoof it from one side of the map to the other. I'd always recommend having FT enabled in survival through mods though, as the reload can help smooth issues out.)

SURVIVAL QUICK SAVE - No Sleep Till Bedtime (Gives you an aid item you can save to a hotkey if you need a fast save.)
Bethesda Mods
Get these by loading up the game and selecting 'MODS' on the main menu.
CREAtive Clutter - All DLC
CREAtive Teddy Bears
Do It Yourshelf Updated
Easy Homebuilder and Working Double Beds
Home Plate Interior Revamped
Immersive Decor
Makeshift Furniture Pack
More Bang For Your Bark (This mod is specifically for use with the Transdogrifier Creation Club mods - it lets the new dog shapes use clothing.)
MsRae's 76 Style Outfits
MsRae's All The Overalls
MsRae's Horticulture DLC
Railroad Death Bunnies Clothes
-----
(Now, y'all might say that's a lot of mods. And it is. But the only significant issues I have is that when I die my game crashes to desktop, and the excess of Creation Club content loading at the start of the game sometimes bugs out the first stage of the main quest, and thus poor Codsy and Preston. I just have to skip Codsy's search bit and rush to meet and save Preston to see if he will talk to me or not. Otherwise things run as normal -for a Bethesda game.)

Tips To Help You Build A Smart Home
Try not to stall out with a "half-item" that doesn't work with the remainder of your smart stuff. I attempt to explore before I purchase however now and then, an item doesn't follow through on its commitments.
I've found that occasionally I can help a superior cost on an item through the maker, however it's quite often simpler to do a return assuming that I purchase through a significant retailer like Amazon.
You've most likely known about IFTTT, yet what might be said about the other two? The universe of smart home gadgets is as yet youthful, and interoperability is as yet a test. Figure out how to utilize these outsider prearranging applications to make more complicated automations and associate gadgets that are generally contradictory.
It very well may be enticing to introduce a standard dimmer change to control your roof fan speed, yet it's anything but smart. There are uniquely made fan speed regulators that will take care of business right.31. Don't overcomplicate
Keep in mind, the ultimate objective is to make things more straightforward. Confounded automations pass on more space for something to turn out badly.
For instance, when I initially began building my smart home, I figured it would be cool to have a movement sensor in a wardrobe trigger the storage room light. That is absolutely pointless and confounded.
The basic arrangement is to simply purchase a movement enacted bulb. The bulbs are less expensive than a regular movement sensor and the main arrangement required is to sink it.  Check out Smart Home.
At the point when you open the application and that annoying message to refresh continues springing up, its enticing to simply skip it. Don't.
Firmware refreshes are significant for security, bug fixes, and new elements. In any event, make a note to yourself to refresh at a more helpful time.
Amazon's Alexa platform is not difficult to learn and simple to utilize. Nonetheless, you'll rapidly track down it's restricted to genuinely straightforward automation.
Then again, something like Home Assistant has a lot more extreme expectation to learn and adapt, yet considers complex custom programming.
Normally finding the right center point is tracking down a harmony between usability and capacity to make complex automations.
Something like the Samsung SmartThings center is great blend of both. It has a simple to utilize If/Then style application. Also, if you need to get more nerdy, there's addons that permit you to make custom code.
Cam Secore at powermoves.blog values sound quality over all else in his smart speakers.
"While purchasing a smart speaker, don't think twice about sound quality. Sound quality is the main thing that is important.
Studies are showing that smart speakers are essentially being utilized for music, with simple assignments like updates or clocks being at the first spot on the list as well.

I've followed you for a while and you're one of 3 people I've ever seen mention actually caring about (not just reblogging) your internet security, i am just wondering what (other than a vpn) do you use to do so (i use hidemyass and ublock origin, and usually duckduckgo) ublock does have a Facebook container built-in but i want recommendations
I’m glad you asked this! I’m still learning so if any of this is wrong it’s not me talking out my ass but rather me not knowing better. Also I’m not the most secure that I can be and I’m fully aware, but some steps are better than none. Some of these can also dramatically increase your browsers performance. 
First, I use a vpn mostly because I acquire things on the internet though 100% legal means and also it’s handy for getting around news site paywalls. Having a vpn does enough to mask that traffic from my isp. And this part is just related and not really answering the question, but if you’ve seen vpn adverts saying shit like “it masks all your internet usage and keeps companies from tracking you” that is barely true. Vpns are not enough to anonymize yourself or even really keep you from being tracked. Using a vpn and then logging onto an email you’ve used on your regular connection is enough for pretty much every company to connect the dots on you. They’re certainly nice to have, but they’re a small piece of a massive puzzle. I won’t say which one I use but I will say mullvad is probably the best for the cost and the security it provides.
The rest I’m gonna put under a read more because the post is a little lengthy (hopefully it actually works bc last night it didn’t)
For browsing, I use a fork of chromium called ungoogled chromium. It has kind of a steep learning curve if you want to build it for yourself, but there exist downloads for windows. The author states he cant guarantee they havent been tampered with but I haven’t had any issues. If you’re okay with that, the other annoying part to get around is that addons will not work directly from the chrome webstore and require you to unpack addons and add them/update them manually. I wrote up a tutorial on how to do that here. If you can manage to get past all that, it’s easily the fastest browser I’ve ever used. If any of that seems like too much, then it’s a safer bet to go with firefox.
For addons (like I said, I’m using chromium but these should all either be on firefox as well or have equivalents), I use ublock origin and ghostery for adblocking and tracker blocking. These can be kinda redundant but they don’t really impact my performance so I just run them both because why not. I also use umatrix (admittedly I have it off a lot of the time bc it can interfere with certain pages and I’m too lazy to fix it) as a scriptblocker. If you’ve ever used noscript it has pretty much the same function. Last one is Random User-Agent which randomizes information about your computer/OS/browser every 10 minutes so when websites try to identify you by these things, it’s fed false information.
As far as search engines go, I usually try to use duckduckgo when I can but unfortunately there are some aspects of searching that google is just infinitely better at. Still, duckduckgo is pretty good for what it’s worth.
Something else I want to mention is I highly recommend keepass as an offline password database. You can use things like dashlane or lastpass and from what I understand they don’t store anything on their servers and it’s all locally encrypted but I don’t trust that if I need an account for it.
Aside from that, I have my browser clean out all cookies and cache upon exit and ccleaner checks behind it to delete anything it might have missed (this is absolutely redundant but I do it just because I can lol). This is good practice since cookies are used to track you everywhere. This can be kind of a pain in the ass though, because it means you’ll have to log in to everything every time you quit your browser. Eventually I just got used to it though keepass helps that too.
Again, this isn’t going to completely anonymize you, but it’ll make it harder. If you really wanna hide yourself, you’d probably want to use something like Tails which is a linux based operating system that runs off a disc/flash drive that starts with a clean slate and immediately deletes everything except things you tell it not to and configuration when it shuts down. If that’s too much, Tor browser is also an option, though I cannot say how secure it is because I have heard and continue to hear conflicting things about its efficacy for years lol. And it bears repeating: if you truly want to remain anonymous, you’d have to do this and a whole lot more and also never log in to any of your current accounts. But hopefully this answers a lot of questions!

Installed Mods List
Note: I have WAY too much build/buy custom content to post here (literally thousands of pieces and this list is already big enough).  That said, if you see something in a screenshot that you’re interested in, send an ask!  I should be able to find it in my mods and throw you a link, or at least the name of the item!
Also, if a link is bad or accidentally linked past an ad.fly that you (as the creator) use or something else is wrong, PLEASE TELL ME so I can fix it!  I only want to help share your work, not disrespect anyone.
This is not an all-inclusive list.
A link to this post is at the top of my tumblr.
Sometimes I tag posts with mod names.  If you’re curious, navigate to my tags page and scroll for the mods section.  :)
Last Updated: N/A
MY “MUST HAVE” MODS
These are mods that I use regularly or simply have a big enough impact in my game (that I like) to make me feel I couldn’t play without them.
Automatic Thermostat (Seasons) by LittleMsSam -- Purchase the addon (via the thermostat) and it’ll turn on/off and to the right temperature without you having to click the damn thing all the time.
Bad Grades Are Ok by ScarletQueenKat -- No long will you have to worry about your child being abducted taken away by CPS due to bad grades.
Basemental Drugs by Basemental -- Aside from the obvious ‘lol my sim does drugs’ aspect, this mod really adds a new spice of danger and realism for your sims.  It’s a well-executed mod, imho.
Better Autonomous Homework by LittleMsSam
Bugfixes - It’s a Crying Shame by Scumbumbo -- Sims will wake up to loud noises.
CandyD’s Balanced Calories Mod by Simscovery -- Food versus bodyfat makes more sense, with this mod.
CAS Overhaul v2′s Immersive Lighting by Luumia
Celebs Undercover by LittleMsSam -- Have a famous sim and want to go out to the bar?  Don’t want to deal with the fans constantly interrupting your drink?  This mod is for you!
Choose Your Helmet (Discover University) by LittleMsSam -- Tbh, not being able to choose my sim’s helmet and having it always changing really made me not want to use the bikes.
Don’t Prep Food Where You Angry Poop by Scumbumbo -- Allows you to disable food prep on individual counters.
Don’t Wash Dishes Where You Angry Poop by Scumbumbo -- Allows you to disable washing dishes on individual sinks.

Faster Sim Spawning by Weerbesu
Food Delivery Service by LittleMsSam -- Tired of pizza?  Order in something else!
Free Staff and No Phone Call Animation for Marketstalls, Chef, Barista, & Bartender by LittleMsSam -- I like this mod for public lots when the market stalls, etc are empty for whatever reason.
Get To Work Active Career Aspirations by Konansock -- I REALLY enjoy the science career, personally, and I feel like this mod gives more depth to the game that should’ve already been there.
Improved Autonomy During Loading Screens by Weerbesu
Inappropriate to Marry FIX by PolarBearSims
Inventory Not Shared by BrazenLotus -- I love this because I like to sort things that I collect/store away for later.
IR - Divorce! by Zero -- Adds interactions for your sim to file for divorce rather than it just happening.
Livestream Regardless of Career by Xceptionz
Lot Trait Extender by NisaK
MC Command Center by Deaderpool -- HIGHLY recommend you use this mod if your computer can handle it.  It does so much, and it’s the one mod I absolutely could not play without.  Thank you, Deaderpool!

Self-Configurable Adjusted Breakage (SCAB) by Scumbumbo -- Makes things break WAY less (or not at all, if you want).  Things don’t usually break constantly in real life, so why does everything always have to be broken in the Sims?
Simulation Lag Fix by SrslySims
Simulation Unclogger by TurboDriver
Slice of Life Mod by KawaiiStacie -- This mod adds so much depth to your sims lives (ie: actual personalities, new moodlets, acne, blushing, sickness management, and more).  I love this mod.

Summing up (the latter half of) the Warcraft Q&A today
(I realized toward the end that I’d come in about 30 minutes late, so I have no idea if they said anything important at the beginning or not. I’d initially thought I had only missed a couple minutes or one answer.)
Being able to watch the Warcraft Q&A is useful, but oh my god Ion is terrible at answering questions and not overexplaining his answers.
I can’t decide if he’s just deliberately trying to stretch his answers out, or he’s just absolutely horrible at public speaking even when he can’t see a crowd. He rambles and it’s so easy to zone out while he talks when you realize that he can talk for 30 seconds straight without actually saying anything.
By the way so far he’s said:
Azerite armor is going to become tradeable, probably on next weekly reset
Auction House is going to have much higher deposit requirements to help combat single-stack flooders ruining it for everybody, alongside backend work to update the system itself
Largely incoherent babbling about how they think it’s basically fine that world quests are dull and excessively time-consuming, so aren’t worried about addons not being able to search for groups or auto-accept
Guild permissions are (or have already been?) fixed
Number of trash mobs in various dungeons are not considered a problem and won’t be messed with (I’m not even sure why the question was even on the stream, but it’s one they answered)
World Quests becoming irrelevant for people who’ve already hit level cap, rep caps, and have crazy high-level gear is entirely okay and they’re not going to do much for you to make those interesting
Re: Worgen/Goblin model updates-- “we’re gonna do it but I can’t give you info yet and we don’t want to talk about it till we have pictures.” Allegedly they look super cool you guys and they’re super excited to show us. Breath: Not holding it.
Re: Horde Honorbound bug for Wanted quests in Kul Tiras-- some give rep, some do not. Apparently it is intended that some of the Wanted quests do give rep and some do not and the perception that Alliance gets rep for all of them is not correct. I have no idea what this is referring to because I don’t play Horde so take it as you will.
Something about seeing the social impact of the faction war on generally neutral races like Pandaren, I zoned out when I realized that, of all things, was the last question

25 Ways Google Drive Can Help Power Your WordPress Business
Google Drive has saved my life (professionally, at least) on any number of occasions. I know that some people are wary of services like Google Drive or iCloud for fear of being locked into a single company’s ecosystem (or walled garden, as they’re usually referred to), but there are a lot of benefits to using Google Drive if you’re running a WordPress business. We use it here at Elegant Themes, and it makes putting things into your hands so much easier.
What is Google Drive?
First off, let’s establish what Google Drive is. Google, the omnipresent power that it is, has created a suite of tools that when put together are called Drive. Included in the (default) suite are
Docs
Sheets
Slides
Forms
Drawings
My Maps
Sites
Pixlr Editor
If that’s not enough for you, just hit Connect More Apps and you are taken to the Chrome/Drive app store where you can integrate as many of hundreds (if not thousands) of first- and third-party tools as you want.
In addition to the apps you have, Drive also functions as a, well, drive. You get a certain amount of cloud storage for free with Drive, and you can upgrade that for a monthly price. With that, you can sync between any number of computers and the cloud to always keep your files up to date. In this way, it works pretty much just like Dropbox.
In many ways, using Google Drive as a primary tool for your WordPress business isn’t so much about the power of the tools themselves, but the flexibility and efficiency that you’re able to achieve with your workflow. The entire suite of tools works together so seamlessly (and with other apps like Slack and Trello and even WordPress itself) that taking advantage of these feature will no doubt increase your company or team’s efficiency.  Which will then (hopefully) increase revenue.
So…with all that said, now that we have a foundation of what the platform is, let’s jump into how you can use it to drive your WP business to the next level.
1. Real-Time Collaboration
The biggest selling point of Google Drive in almost all respects is the inclusion of real-time collaboration. You and your team can be in the same document at the same time, making real-time edits. While this may not sound like an out-of-this-world, blow-your-mind feature, it absolutely is. As a member of a team who works a world apart from one another, being able to get on a Google Hangout and work on a post, meeting agenda, or planning document is invaluable.
If your WordPress business specifically relies on content via articles and posts, Google Drive can really speed up your editorial process if done correctly. Instead of sending drafts back and forth between writers and editors, you can be in the same document at the same time, making real-time edits. Even if you use the Submit for Review and Pending status in the WordPress dashboard, being able to work together prevents back-and-forth messages like these:
Editor: Hey, yesterday’s article needs a fix. I set it back to a draft for you.
Writer (half an hour later): Okay, I submitted it to pending again.
Editor: I set it back to a draft one more time because of this other thing.
And so on and so forth. That probably looks familiar to a few of you. Taking advantage of the real-time editing instead of using it for simple document sharing will really power up your business. Especially if all your writers’ permissions are set to “Suggest Edits” instead of editing outright.
2. Live Chat
In addition to the real-time collaboration aspect of Drive, each document has a live chat option if you have more than one person in the doc (or sheet or slide) at a time. You just need to click the chat icon next to the document participants. As people come in and out, they are added to/removed from the chat. I realize that many of you (us included) use Slack or something similar for your team communication, but that shouldn’t keep you from using the integrated chat.
Reason being, it’s more efficient. Keeping Slack open in another tab or as a separate program means you’re always going back and forth. You’re getting separate notifications. And you have to divert your attention from the work you’re doing. If you’re using the chat option, you can toss pertinent links, commentary, and everything right there in the document. And you can search it later and keep the whole conversation in context — which is perfect when you need to go back to a previous project and instead of having to go through thousands of messages archived months and months ago in Slack, you can simply look at the chat archives here.
But what about comments? you may be thinking. And comments are great for anything that is a one-off that may need a single reply and can then be resolved. But if you’re dealing with a discussion, comments are not your friend. Plus, you may get emails about every single comment message, and trying to search through them for to track a single conversation is simply unbearable, even with the comment-thread feature (beside the open chat button).
3. Hangouts
In much the same way that live chat is used, you can do the same thing with Hangouts. Hangouts does have a chat in the window it opens (which is great for meetings, but not so much when collaborating in real time in a document), but you can keep the call open in the background while you work. Again, it’s not any different than another VOIP service or call (Skype, or even Slack calls); however, since it’s integrated into Drive, anyone who’s involved already is just a click away from a video/voice call to collaborate on any given document or project. It’s a quality-of-life inclusion that you can’t fully appreciate until you’ve used it, I think.
4. Slack Integration (Among Others)
Now, I’ve said a lot of stuff that may come across as Slack is great, but…, and knocking the service. That’s not what I mean. So let me say this: Slack is great, but… (haha) Google Drive makes it even  better. Really. You can install it to any Slack workspace you want from their app store.
There’s no way all of these features don’t enhance your WordPress business. Sure, they don’t directly tie to WP itself, but they make creating content for WordPress sites much more pleasant. I can’t count the times that I have personally been working on a post, only to receive a Slack notification of a comment, revision, or invitation to edit that was time sensitive far quicker than the automated emails came through (if they came at all, in a few cases).
The same integration is available for Trello and Basecamp and any number of other project management and team communications suites. Google Drive is such a pervasive and ubiquitous tool that you should absolutely take the time to (or have your admin) integrate whatever apps are available to link Drive into your service.
5. Using Google Sheets as a Team Dashboards
Admittedly, I am pretty wary of spreadsheets. They’re functional, but they’re not sexy. Apps…now they’re sexy. When it’s possible to use an app or program to do something that someone suggests a spreadsheet for, I opt for the separate app. But honestly, sometimes having a separate app just isn’t possible. And if you’re trying to keep everything within the same ecosystem (Google Drive in this case), keeping your data in a spreadsheet just makes sense.
Luckily, there’s an addon for Google Drive called Supermetrics. It really supercharges what you can do with Google Sheets, and so that even people like me can get them to perform adequately.
Basically, you can set up an entire analytics and monitoring suite for your business using Drive (and even bringing in Google Analytics, too). It lets you have have an at-a-glance rundown of what is going on with your site, SEO, the blog, social channels, and anything else you need to import and look at. This kind of dashboard for your team is not a replacement for a suite for tracking services or their built-in tools, but it works amazingly well for aggregation, analysis, and pinning down improvement areas (not to mention highlighting successes).
6. Sync with Google Photos
Since Google Drive has file storage as a primary foundation of the service, I’d be remiss if I didn’t show you one of the more useful connections to WordPress regarding that. In addition to being able to export backups and large media files from plugins like UpdraftPlus or services like Zencastr, the official Jetpack plugin supports Google Photos media library imports. Again, powering up your WordPress business is about efficiency. Keeping your photos in one place (for free and with unlimited space) and then being able to import them into your WP media library is invaluable.
If you run a WP business, you are probably on the go a lot. You may not even use the same computer or device day by day. Cloud storage is your friend, especially when you don’t know where and when your next hard drive will be coming from. You may work from public computers (raise your hand if you’ve lost something important because you forgot to back it up before your session ended). Plus, how many times have you been told “Sure, you can use my computer. Just don’t download anything at all.”? (That’s a rarity these days, but it still happens.) You might even have to put in whole days of working on your smartphone.
Regardless of why you’d need to keep pics in Google Photos, you should be. And honestly, probably are regardless. So linking the service to WordPress and then being able to import your Google Photos directly into your media library will increase efficiency just enough that you will wonder why you’ve downloaded/uploaded/Recycle Binned images for so long.
Note: Currently you aren’t able to access/import Google Photos from your wp-admin of self-hosted Jetpack-enabled sites. You will need to import those photos from your site at WordPress.com in order to see them on your self-hosted site.
7. Dictate Documents Like a Boss
I sometimes imagine what it would be like to sit back in my office chair (feet up on the desk) and dictate important emails and notes to my personal assistant. I would use cool phrases like “next line” and “new paragraph” as I rattled off a symphony of the english language. Well, with Google Doc’s voice typing functionality, this dream has become reality (kind of). I don’t really sit back in my chair, I have to click a button to start dictating my text, and I have to check the final draft for grammar just to be safe. But at least I still get to use some cool phrases even though I have to say “new line” instead of “next line”. And I find that it is really useful for things other than drafting emails. It is also a convenient way to record notes during client meetings without having to interrupt the flow of conversation with typing. And I sometimes use it to record blocks of text from images or screenshots of content that I need to add to my website.
8. Store and Embed Videos
If you are looking to host your large media files (like Videos) outside of WordPress, Google Drive will allow you to link to those files within your WordPress site. Also, Drive makes it easy to embed videos directly on your website.
Once the video has been uploaded to Drive, open the video in a new window.
Now all you need to do is open the file in a separate window. Open settings again and click the “Embed item” link in the menu.
Copy the embed html code and paste it on your webpage.
9. Google Slides for Webinars (and other presentations)
Webinars are a popular way to educate customers about your product, grow your email list, and, in the end, make more money. But a lot of the webinars I’ve seen have pretty horrible presentations, mostly due to the design of the slides. Google Slides can help ease the pain of designing a template for your webinar slides. And you can just launch the presentation and deliver your webinar straight from Google Drive. Once done, you can easily share your slides with your audience for reference.
You can also easily add Google Slides presentations to your WordPress website.
10. Use Google Forms for things like Contact Forms, Client Questionnaires, and Surveys
Any online business will need a reliable method for collecting and storing important information from their customers. Google Forms offers a convenient platform for creating forms for many different use cases. You can easily embed a Google form to your WordPress website and all the results can be accessed from Google Drive.
A WordPress business could use google forms for many different use cases, including contact Forms or Client Questionnaires for on-boarding.
Google Forms can be a simple yet powerful solution for surveying your visitors for market feedback, employers for happiness levels, customers for reasons they jumped ship. You can even use a survey to improve your website experience. Whatever the reason, you can easily embed a google form on your site or send users to the designated form page on your Drive.
If you want to use another software like Typeform, don’t forget that you can easily create a zap to store all those entries neatly in a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
11. Integrate Docusign with Google Docs
Running a WP business usually means most (if not all) of your meetings take place online. That means contracts, and other important documents, need to be signed electronically. DocuSign is a popular e-signature online service that works with Google Drive. All you need is to get the extension from the chrome web store and you can easily send/share your documents right from Google Drive (or Gmail) and then automatically store them securely in your Drive. Unless of course, you enjoy using a printer, scanner, or fax machine (they do still exist).
DocHub also has another popular extension for editing and signing PDF Documents and Word Documents straight from Gmail.
12. Google Drive File Stream
I don’t know about you, but I like keeping files in the cloud because I hate overloading my hard drive with files which I know are full of things I don’t need anymore and I don’t have time to sort through. But I also like the convenience of being able to search through my files (or cluttered mess) on my computer. The Google Drive File Stream application seems to have provided a way to have my cake (or cloud) and eat (or search) it too. This may seem like a small convenience, but don’t underestimate the annoyance of an overloaded hard drive when running a business.
The Drive File Stream is available with their Business plan and is a step up from their Backup and Sync application which is free for personal plans.
13. Backup Your WordPress Site on Google Drive
There are a ton of solutions/plugins out there for backing up your WordPress website. But, not all of them are free, and those that are tend to store your backups on your server (which can crash). Google Drive does provide a good amount of free storage space (15GB) which can be used to store your backups to a remote location, accessible from anywhere.
You can Create a Drive Backup of your WordPress Website through the use of a WordPress backup plugin like UpdraftPlus – for FREE.
14. Import Blog Posts from Google Docs to WordPress
If you have ever tried to copy content from Google Docs into a WordPress blog post, you may have noticed that things don’t always transfer cleanly. The html gets some additional formatting that you don’t really want. But there are ways to merge the the two effectively. Wordable offers a premium service that allows your to import posts and pages directly from Google Docs with a click of a button (see review here).
There is also free solutions including the WordPress.com to Google Docs Chrome extension and the Mammoth .docx converter plugin.
15. Embed Google Calendars in WordPress
I realize that Google Calendar is not technically Google Drive (all these apps blend together in my mind after a while), but I thought it worth mentioning considering the popularity of calendars for WordPress and and WordPress business.
No one wants the headache of managing one calendar for your website and another on Google. Thanksfully, adding a Google calendar to your website is pretty simply. Once you customize the calendar within Google Calendar, you can generate an embed code that can be pasted anywhere on your WordPress site. The code is an iFrame which simply means what you see on the website is actually hosted on Google. So styling the calendar will challenging using CSS in WordPress. So if you need more control over the calendar design, you can use a plugin like Simple Calendar.
16. Showcase Google Calendar Events on WordPress with A Plugin
Instead of settling for a Google Calendar embed code, there are WordPress calendar plugins that integrate with Google Calendar to open new doors for customization and display options. Simple Calendar and WP Google Calendar Manager will do the trick. Both make it easy to add Google Calendar events to WordPress
17. Integrating Google Sheets and WordPress
If you are familiar with Google Sheets, you know how easy it is to convert your spreadsheet data into a beautiful chart or graph. It is pretty “mathi-magical” stuff. And there are ways to display these beautiful illustrations of data directly on your WordPress site. You could opt for a WordPress plugin like the Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer which can turn your Google Sheets data into dynamic spreadsheet, charts, and tables and insert them anywhere on your website (learn how).
Alternatively, you can publish a spreadsheet (or chart) to the web directly from Google Sheets to get an embed code you can paste to your webpage.
18. Use Google Slides to Create Images for WordPress
Not all businesses are lucky to have a skilled graphic designer on hand to create those custom images needed for their website. That’s why there are many options available to bridge the gap between businessman and photo editor for your WordPress images. Google Slides is one of those options.
The great thing about Google Slides is there are wonderful free templates/themes out there that will jumpstart the process of designing your own images from scratch.
All you need to do is design a slide and download it in JPEG or PNG format.
19. Google Meet for Video Conferencing
Google is constantly evolving their communication products. This includes Google Hangouts. Now, Google Hangouts is branching out to include Hangouts Chat to create a more Slack-like experience for your business. And Google Meet (or Hangouts Meet) is becoming a prize fighter in the video conferencing industshery.
So if you have access to G Suite, you may find Google Meet to be just what you need. For $5 a month, you can host up to 25 video callers with some other useful features similar to most of those video conferencing software giants out there. The G Suite Enterprise edition allows you to connect with up to 50 people.
See if Google Meet is the right fit for your business videoconferencing.
20. Search and Access Docs from Email
This one has been around for a while, but if you live on Google Docs the way I do, it is a valuable resource. When composing your many emails from Gmail, you can insert Google Drive files directly from the email interface. Just click the Google Drive icon at the bottom.
Then you can search through all your folders and insert your file either as a link or an attachment.
21. Take Advantage of the Specialized Linking System in Google Docs
Google has some helpful features to help you link to different areas (headers) of your Google Doc. This is a great time saver for combing through large docs containing weekly meeting notes on certain projects. The only think you have to do is make sure you organize your doc with proper headings. Google will take care of the rest. Google has a built it Document Outline display that will turn those headers into a clickable table of contents on the left of your doc. Simply click the view tab and select “Show document outline”.
But sometimes it’s just easier to create another doc instead of having all your info in one long page. Google makes it easy to create links to other documents to speed up the process of accessing related info. It also helps you organize a network of related content.
Just create a link and start typing the name of the doc or folder in the link box. Your documents will start to appear below for easy access.
22. Revision Tracking
When multiple people are working on the same Google Doc, you need to be able to know who made certain changes and when those changes are made. This is crucial for any project manager. Google Docs has the ability to show these revisions based on user and time. Simply click the File tab and select Version history > See version history.
Now you can view all revisions in a left sidebar and click the revision you wish to view.
Now you can work together revisions in a snap.
This revision tracking is also available in Google Sheets, Slides, and Forms as well.
23. Use Google Drawings to Sketch Wireframes and Design Infographics
Google Drawings has an intuitive UI for creating all kinds of helpful illustrations easily. Sure, it doesn’t pack the same punch as Illustrator or Sketch, but it can be useful for sketching wireframe and designing infographics.
Wireframes are useful for sketching out a blueprint of your website before it reaches the design phase. It can save your WordPress Web Design business a lot of time. So if you are looking to save money, Google Drawings can definitely do the trick. It offers all the shapes and text elements you need to create and align your wireframe.
If you want to up the scale of professionalism for your wireframes, there a many free wireframe templates available. A quick google search of Google Wireframe templates should get what you need.
And if you need an infographic to display on your website, Google Drawings can be a simple solution. Your infographic may not go viral or win awards, but it can boost your website with extremely helpful illustrations. And, because you can create charts and graphs based on actual data in a Google Sheet, you can speed up the process of design by inserting those charts created automatically.
24. Connect Google Drive Apps with Other Apps with Zapier
Zapier is a popular online software that allows you to share data between more than a thousand apps you use everyday. And yes, you guessed it. There are a lot of connections (or zaps) you can create with Google Apps. You can even create zaps to connect Google Drive with WordPress to create backups of your posts on a Google text file or log WordPress posts to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. And that is just a few examples. You can even connect different Google apps together and create Google Calendar events from a new Google Sheets spreadsheet row (or Google Form entry).
This kind of integration can automate tasks for your business and save you time and money.
25. Security
Security tends to be a luxury we take for granted until, of course, we don’t have it. Google does seem to take security seriously, building their core security infrastructure into all of their services. Plus, there are ways to make your account more secure with things like 2-step verification.
Google Cloud Storage also seems to have a security model that your WordPress business can trust. I’m not saying it going to be the best fit for your company, but it may be a smart solution for Google fans.
Drive Off Into the Sunset
Chances are that you already use Google Drive in some way for your WordPress business. That’s great, and you probably have seen how much it can help. Hopefully, though, we’ve hit on some ways that you and your team can really get more out of the service. Not everything will work for every one, but as we’ve implemented a lot of these around here at ET, we’ve definitely noticed a difference in how much more work we get done and how much nicer it is to get that work done.
