  • 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. …

  • Can SEO and Design Go Hand in Hand? (Part 1: H Tags)

    I 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.  But, a good designer can implement techniques that will affect Google’s view of a website, without even messing…

  • Latest WordPress Hack – Check your Permalinks, People!

    I’ll type this without the normal pleasantries to make sure this gets out quickly. There’s a WordPress hacker on the loose, and he’s pretty sneaky – he creates a user unseeable to the naked eye (except for the one extra user in the administrator users menu) and masks himself to you, making it easy for…

  • Final Thoughts on Social South (#soso)

    I’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…

  • Social South: Day 1 – Way Better than Just #SoSo

    Today was Day 1 of the Social South conference in Birmingham, and everything was definitely in full swing from the get-go.  Although it’s late, I do have some takeaways I want to talk about so I can get them out of my brain and onto the blog. No one is an expert in Social Media…

  • See You At #SoSo! (Social South)

    Ever since I heard about SoSo back, waaaaaay back a year ago I’ve been looking forward to when it would come to fruition.  Well, tomorrow, that day finally arrives.  It’s been a while in the making, but the Magic City becomes abuzz with speakers, social media enthusiasts and others who are interested in learning or…
