Take the Vanilla OUT of Your Website Content
I don’t know about you but when I read a book, a website, a blog or other media I like to be informed, entertained or maybe amused. I want to feel the fear if I’m reading a thriller or mystery. Maybe I need a good case of the giggles or I might want to make myself a better person so I pick up a few self-help books. Students must read in order to become educated and parents read to their children not only to entertain them but to teach them any number of things. The list goes on...
Read MoreHow Do YOU See YOUR Website?
Having been in the website development business since 1996 I’ve come across a variety of clients with different ideas where their web site stands on their priority list. I’ve had clients who really want to learn how to make their site the best it can be. They ask questions, I give them the best answers I can and they follow through on their end. On the other end of the spectrum I’ve also had my share of clients who don’t even seem to remember they have a web site. I find...
Read MoreCongratulations! You Won an AWARD!

Read MoreWhat’s This Gibberish on My Website?
Web designers have all kinds of nifty little tricks they use in website development which help not only themselves but their clients as well. Just one of these tricks is the use of a little something called “Lorem Ipsum” and since most of my clients don’t have a clue what this is, I thought I’d write a short blog post on it to help them learn. When a designer builds a web site, some of us need to or want to see what the pages will look like with text content on the pages...
Read MoreDisplaying Quotes on Your Website
I was cruising Twitter tonight looking for some fresh ideas for a new articles for my websites when I noticed that Michelle Schaeffer had tweeted some neat quotes. I’m talking about those great “words of wisdom” tidbits written both by famous people and even not so famous people. Heck, you don’t have to be famous to be wise or witty! It’s not uncommon to see quotations in Twitter streams which tells me more people than I thought are interested in quotations. I...
Read MoreWhy You Should Avoid PopUps on Your WebSite
I’m sure you’ve been there … gone to a website and had one or more windows pop up in your face without having been prompted by you clicking something? They pop up, they dance, they flash, they slide in, they wiggle, they float in from one side of the page and float out the other, they drop from nowhere out of cyberspace. Some are small and some take up half your screen. Some talk to you and/or play ghastly music at earsplitting volume. You can’t click the Close Window...
