    Thank You

    I’m writing this sitting in a car travelling to Kentucky to my parents house for Thanksgiving.  Isn’t technology fantastic? It’s been just over two years since I bought my studionashvegas domain and started the twitter account for my business.  It’s been a very interesting two years (to say the least) but if you would have…

    foursquare: Your Social Life, Metagamed.

    There’s a new social network in town. At first, when I heard people talking about it from New York, Atlanta, and Austin, I really didn’t see what the big deal was.  I used Brightkite, and stopped using it because there was no real value other than telling people how I found a free welcome bonus…

    Does Hard Selling Still Work?

    A lot of people don’t know this, but before I dove head first into the realm that is web-design and social media, I used to do door-to-door sales.  Yup, hard-core street-pounding invasion type door-to-door sales.  It was for a local company here in Nashville called Stallion, Inc, and the whole idea was severely based on…

    The Social Side of Southern Hospitality

    A lot of people don’t know this about me, but I grew up in a small town in Kentucky.  I mean really, really small. Here’s a hint: I share a hometown with the latest “America’s Got Talent” winner.  I’ll let you do the math on that one. Anyway , the whole town had about 10,000…

    Halloween Goodness

    No matter how busy you are, a major holiday is always a good excuse to go out and have a good time with family and friends.  Would I call Halloween a major holiday?  Not sure, but I love PumpkinFest – the local sidewalk festival that Franklin puts on for kids and adults in the area.…

    The Customer is Always Right… …Right?

    If you’re in an industry that deals with people, chances are you’ve dealt with some that are easier than others.  Everyone craves the client who is easy to understand, speaks in legible thoughts about the subject, and knows the difference between an honest mistake and a definitive screw-up. Chances are, however, that may not always…

    Hello from WordCampBirmingham (#wcbhm09).

    WordCampBirmingham is little under an hour and a half underway down here at the Innovation Depot in Birmingham.  Dougal gave an amazing presentation on plugin development earlier and Sara Cannon is giving a great presentation on branding WordPress as we speak.  There’s a lot of people here (around 200ish) and so far the lineup of…

    Better Know a WordPress Tag: ‘siteurl’

    When you’re working on a development site it’s hard to set things up correctly because you know you’re going to change the site, and putting in elements that are more than likely “stationary”, such as links, will have to be changed, and that causes un-necessary headache when it comes time to move the site live. …
