The HubPages Affiliate Dashboard Tool - 60DC
A Quick DashBoard Tool for Affiliates who use HubPages
I spent a few hours today, purchasing Camtasia v7, finding my old webcam and then looking all over the net for a working driver to get it working.
The purpose was to create a tutorial on how to set up your Firefox browser to help perform your everyday promotion and backlinking activities quicker.
As I imagined what would be the best add-ons to suggest without over complicating things, I kept getting an image of my Opera Speed Dial set up. I dont use Opera frequently, so the Speed Dial is more of a gimmick but I couldnt get the image out of my mind.
So I ended up popping in an audiobook and creating a quick layout for common links a HubPages user and affiliate would probably access. I intended to use the image in my tutorial - but eventually, figured, why not pop in some hot spots and make it a live dashboard!
So, using Adobe Fireworks CS3 I eyeballed this page and used my own bookmarks toolbar as the basis for the link layout and hierarchy.
Unfortunately, its a circa 2000 style image based page but it should load fast and do the deed. If it helps you are free to use it!
