Web 2.0 Christmas Links

Here are some great links to get ourselves, our blogs, and our social networks decked for Christmas and the New Year.

 

Clip Art/Photos: Christmas photos are always in abundance until you need one, right? Well, in addition to helping yourself to the photos in this post (none of which are copyrighted, and are in so many places on the web that the artists, unfortunately are no longer known), check out the collection at Pick Your Own Christmas Tree (Scroll to the extensive directory at the bottom of the home page). If all else fails, you can Google “Free Christmas Clip Art,” and see what is available, or use Google Images’ Christmas search…just be sure not to use copyrighted photos without permission, and be sure to give credit to the original artist, if you know who it is.)

 

Can’t find the one you’re looking for? Use Smashing Magazine’s 60 Beautiful Christmas Photoshop Tutorials, and make your own.
Blog Themes: Blogging Tips has a list of 8 Free Festive Blogger Templates for those who use Blogger, and for those who use Wordpress, check out Developer Fox’s 15 Interesting Christmas Free Wordpress Themes.

 

Social Networking: The Social Networking Weblog has a collection of links to Christmas MySpace Backgrounds, and PC World has links to 15 Jolly Christmas Applications. Kelly, of Web discoveries can show you how to make your Twitter background festive with wallpaper, and make your own Merry Christmas Twitter Theme…also check out 40 Creative Christmas Wallpapers by the PSDTOP Blog.

 

Music/Podcasting: LoveToKnow has a great list of Christmas Music blogs, and if you’re looking for Podsafe music for your iRadio show, do what my friend, Nikki Star on Blog Talk Radio does, and scope out MySpace Music for new artists who are eager to be heard, and are likely to let you promote them for free. ;-)

 

Speaking of Blog Talk Radio, remember to check out the BTR Christmas Archive.
And don’t miss Santa’s very own podcast on Ning.

 

Video: For family-safe videos by people who haven’t forgotten the Reason for the Season, check out GodTube’s Christmas Archive.

 

Politics: For those of us who insist on making everything about politics, don’t forget Bill O’Reilly’s War on Christmas, and of course, the increasingly popular Ft. Hard Knox Christmas Archive, which has grown by at least 200% since last year – according to our stats, I’m happy to announce that at least one other person besides me has been checking it out – Ho, Ho, Ho!!!

 

Silly: Remember to tune in to the White House Barney Cam, where the Nation’s First Dog is broadcasting his final Christmas in the White House (I wonder if there will be a Texas-style spin-off next year?), which guest stars Olympic gold medalists Michael Phelps and Nastia Liukin.

 

Last but not least – if you’re really having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year, perhaps it will help to just Elf Yourself.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.

Your photo will display with your comment if you use gravatars.
