Custom WordPress Websites that Rock!
I came across this story but it was a small incident last Friday that prompted me to write a post about it. Here's a feel good story about a high school Goalie who was having a rough time. I liked the story, loved the video. It shows the immense power that images hold in our lives and the …
I'm talking about WordPress. Yes, it's so easy to use, that my two middle school children can handle it. I've known Virtual Mike for a few years, having not had the pleasure yet of a real world meeting, and have read his musing off and on for that same time frame. When it came time for me to …
Why write if people aren’t going to read it? It's that little voice inside our heads, it happens to everyone. I hear it daily. A blog I've recently started reading actually mentioned it "Inflation, and I don't mean tire pressure" We write posts for a number of reasons. The two biggest I see …
When it comes to video, the one complaint I constantly hear is about the video thumbnail. "Oh why did they have to pick that one!" That's the Video Thumbnail they are talking about, also called the first frame. It's the static image that shows on your video before the viewer clicks the play …
So apparently yet another Google product is going the way of the dodo bird. This time it's FeedBurner. HINT: Even if you don't care about RSS, it's time to find a new RSS delivery system. Remember, your RSS feed isn't for you, it's for them. We want to make it a great experience for …
The internet is constantly changing. New and improved stuff comes out daily. One of the biggest worries I hear when building a new site for a client involves the "U" word. UPDATE Unfortunately, it's not all Unicorns and Rainbows out there. Sometimes that new stuff (and even old …
Welcome to AreWeConnected, where I have my opinions and I'm not afraid to voice them. BUT What's better than listening or reading about Mike endlessly drabbling on how to do social media or technology right? Listening to the opinions and voices of others. That's maybe why I value my feed …
Someone I was talking to yesterday brought up an interesting item. Most all of my posts are educational or informative in nature and that I rarely show off work I've done. I had to actually look back in the archives and... GUILTY AS CHARGED! The last thing I want to do is come off spammy. The …
My friend Drew happened to notice today that he has been writing posts since August 2006. That’s a bunch of posts! Great Job Drew! That got me to wondering… So I went over to the Wayback Machine and it has records of me back in April of 2001 The blog wasn't even on the front …
Have a Wordpress site? Good for you! Is it only you, or do you have others on your site helping as well? If it's only you, or you started the site yourself - is your username "admin"? Lucky guess on my part (not). ;) Now all I need to hack your site would be to guess your password over at …
This last week I was asked two times what I do. Contrary to what some people think I am not a “Jack of all Trades”, rather far from it. There are certain things I do and quite a few things I won’t do. To start, I write informative posts on this blog. Hopefully cutting thru the BS and …
I've played a few tricks on you in the past. Most recently I've shown you how I got ranked at the top for a huge trending topic. That was a trick - I was really illustrating the power of social search - or as Google puts it "Personal Results". When I'm signed in to Google, any search I do is …
