Google Is Killing Sites?

Hello, my friends. Ready to kick off a new and productive week? In this morning’s issue, I want to vent a little about Google and the supposed “helpful content update”.

When Gamification Backfires

Happy Monday! Well, unless you’re sending off your tax check today. Tax day it is, which means we need to make sure our annual extortion checks are off to the IRS.

Well, hey there! Welcome to a new week. Ready to light this candle? I kind of had a lazy Saturday (which I needed because I’ve been pushing hard lately)… and Sunday I started the process of re-doing our utility room. We bought this house and I remodeled the inside about 2 years ago, but some…

The Forgotten Page Of Your Site

For those of you who live in the US like I do, I will just say… These time changes are stupid. ???? Personally, I prefer standard time. But, now we’re on “daylight savings”. All I know is… we gotta stop messin’ with the clocks. Just pick one and let it be! But, maybe it’s just…

Ready to get rockin’ with a new week? I am. Got another week of flinging pixels around the interwebz coming up. ???? Lots of people in the queue for projects on their sites, so I’ve got a lot to do. You know, going back into the service arena with my business has been quite interesting….

Well hello… and happy… Tuesday? ???? Yup, the Monday morning schedule for this newsletter got a little off this week. Both my son and my wife had birthdays last week, so we went off camping for the weekend. And like a good little content creator, I didn’t pre-write the newsletter. Frankly, I’m up to my…
