There’s a storm coming

There's a storm coming to WordPress

But there's something coming, and coming very soon, that is going …

Is this still really happening? Really!?!

A while ago I posted a response to a question I saw in a Linkedin Group about closing down a WordPress site and just going with Linkedin long format posts.  A friend of mine sent me this.  Same thought, different platform.  This happened on Facebook. Incredible.  But for those that might be …

The importance of owning HOME Base

Killing my WordPress blog in favor of blog posting on LinkedIn

You probably missed it.  Linkedin now allows you to blog!  It's not on WordPress, but you can now do 'long format' posts.  Actually, they made it kind of a quiet thing. I'm a member of a group on Linkedin aptly titled, "Writing on Linkedin" and while I've participated in a few discussions I am …

WordPress Basics: Embedding a Video

Blogging isn't just writing words. We need to capture the attention of the reader.  We can do that by adding pictures and graphics. HINT: a cute puppy, kitten, skunk, baby, or kid has tremendous attention grabbing power! Pictures are great but sometimes the best way to get a message across …

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
