“It’s just for kids”–don’t make me smack you
So far in the year 2012, I haven’t heard the words that make me cringe: “The internet and that Facebook thing is just for kids” For the past several years, I’ve been told this over and over again. It became like fingernails on chalkboard to me. I would counter with statistics and demographic information, but [...]

The Flavor of Design
I had a very long lengthy blog in mind for this topic. Well let me explain the topic a little further since “The Flavor of Design” is a little broad. My original intent was talk in length and detail about how web design plays an integral part of a company’s brand image. But two things [...]

Twitter Strategy Part 2
Third, recognize good and bad tweets. If someone says something positive about your company or organization, then via the “@” messaging tool send them a thank you.

It’s Not Where You’re Going, It’s How You Get There.
NOPE! It’s pretty much about where you’re going. Especially when you factor in a budget. Every time a visitor comes from your paid ad on Google you will be charged per click. The content on your landing page is crucial. Pertinent, well thought out content can make you, as well as save you, hundreds and even thousands of dollars. [...]

Battle of the Generations
Well not really a “battle”, but I just think it sounds good for a blog title. Reminds me of a TV show I used to watch as a kid: Battle of The Network Stars Really is there anything better than watching Mr. Kotter vs. Wonder Woman battling it out?! A true battle of epic proportions. [...]
