Better Know a WordPress Tag: ‘siteurl’
Reading time: 1 minuteWhen 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. …

Can SEO and Design Go Hand in Hand? (Part 1: H Tags)
Reading time: 1 minuteI have clients all the time ask, “How is the new design going to help my traffic?” Honestly, since design and content are supposed to be separate, a new design shouldn’t affect traffic in its purest sense.

Latest WordPress Hack – Check your Permalinks, People!
Reading time: 2 minutesI’ll type this without the normal pleasantries to make sure this gets out quickly.

Reading time: 2 minutesI’m finally back home after two weeks of vacation and conferences (and back to internet access that actually works!!) and I got to say – even though I’ve been working for the past week in a different location, it’s still nice to get away from the daily grind and get out of your zone for…

Beach Blogging 101 – Session 2: Plugin and Unwind
Reading time: 3 minutesOK… so let me say first off that it’s not totally my fault that I didn’t get to finish my session last week. The internet access in the condo we were staying in was nothing less than horrible (it was a great condo otherwise, but let’s just say that if it was online it didn’t…

WordPress 101 – Session 1: What Is WordPress?
Reading time: 3 minutesSpend any copious amount of time on this site and you’ll see me talk about WordPress. Spend any time in conversation with me, and WordPress will come up.

Tweetmeme: (Digg – Trolls) + Twitter = Awesome
Reading time: 1 minuteSo I had the privilege of testing out the TwitCam service today, and (since I had nothing better to talk about), I decided to do one of my favorite summertime activities: Grill Hamburgers!
