Don’t Break Your Own Rules
I subscribe to several blogs to keep up with new techniques, styles and programs that are appearing and becoming popular on the web these days. Many times these posts and articles are about what not to do as well. Sometimes without even meaning to. Today I saw an article about the basics of a good […]
Does Your Business Website Generate Business?
I can’t tell you how many sites that I have seen and made where the owner puts up a site and expects the world (with billions of web pages to visit) to beat a path to their door. They never make any changes or even look at it and then wonder why it fails to […]
Do You Know Where Your Advertising Budget Is?
I have noticed lately that even in our current bad economy, the money, time and effort being spent on Internet advertising in all of it’s forms has held pretty steady and even increased. Things like pay per click advertising and buying leads from third party providers can be cost effective compared to other mediums and […]
Adding Links To A Site
A customer recently asked me to remove some of the links on their “exchange links” page. They said “If I am not on their site – I don’t want theirs on mine.” I wrote back that it really doesn’t work that way any more. That they should consider getting rid of their links page. It […]
My New Business Cards

Background Image Slide Show
Here’s a cool little bit of JavaScript code that will allow you to have a background image slide show. It’s on the Willmaster site and it’s free. The script can provide a slide show in any HTML tag that can publish a background image. As examples, the HTML tag could be a div, a table’s […]
Make It Easy To Contact You
Recently I had a very bad service experience with Comcast Cable. It was so bad that I dropped them and closed my account. Then just the other day I get an email newsletter that was highlighting next months programming. I had never actually opted in to their newsletters (but didn’t opt out either) and usually […]

New search engines appear and older competitors are trying new ways to be more effective in locating and displaying what you are looking for.
