Custom WordPress Websites that Rock!
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 …
I stirred up an interesting discussion last week when I discussed SEO, "How to rank in Google". Someone even said I was looking at SEO through rose colored glasses. To me it's all Black and White (pun fully intended). I try to make things as simple as possible, take complex concepts and break …
S.E.O. stands for Search Engine Optimization - that means when they search in Google, you get found. But how do you get that SEO in the first place? I found a great chart over at Search Engine Land. It makes it look easy - and technically it is. I'll break it down for you towards the end. …
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 …

Our weekly radio show (Social Media Edge) centers around a specific topic or guest. Today’s topic was specifically titled, “How Do You Know? (When you're hiring the right person ...)” and could have easily been a 3 or 4 hour event. Here's a few ideas from today's show to get you started on the …
I write blog posts daily. Typically they might be about a change in a social media platform, or a ‘how to’ strategy ranging anywhere from beginner to middle advanced. I don’t know why but the advanced advanced stuff turns people off. Often times you’ll hear me mention that you always need to …
For the month of April I challenged myself to write a blog post every weekday. I mentioned it publicly and invited others to join me. Surprisingly, some did! Woo Hoo! That meant we needed a hastag. #21in21 sounded good and so it was. Along the way I learned a few things. In no particular …
No really, I do. If I do manage to get a good shot, it was ALL LUCK. Speaking of luck... Lucky for me there is a plugin called PhotoDropper. With it I can do a search for Creative Commons Licensed images that are approved for my type of blog and with a few clicks I can find, insert and give …
