Just to follow up regarding our discussion with Jim Christian at the Phoenix Wordpress Conference, I did some additional research regarding the changes in Google  for 2009-2010. Apparently code name: “Caffeine” will be the next generation of search architecture.  Although it appears that the launch will not be until the holidays, there’s a lot of [...]

On November 13th 2009, Tim and I attended Phoenix WordCamp, a conference for WordPress developers, bloggers, and geeks alike.   The speaker line up was interesting and even entertaining… and of course some spoke about things we already know.  Speakers included Matt Mullenweg founding developer of WordPress, Merlin Mann of 43folders.com, Jim Christian- SEO guru [...]

In this world of informational overload, how can you possibly keep up? Especially in the field of SEO, following along with industry changes is critical. I am a big nerd when it comes to RSS feeds. Not only do I subscribe to them on my PC but on my Blackberry as well. Although I know [...]

Too often web concepts are shelved because the perceived budget is bigger than the anticipated outlay, I think there are a myriad of ways to get your feet wet with your own web design. It [...]

Just like every blogger, periodically I run out of ideas on what to blog about.  Although I would hate to admit it, sometimes I stop blogging all together because I’m stuck! . To help me stay inspired I keep a notebook by my bed and in my purse. When the idea strikes and I think “wow, [...]
