I’ve just finished rebuilding a site for a client who offers translation services, LWT Communications. A graphic designer had created the original site, and there wasn’t much actual text on the site for search engines to gobble up. The designer had basically taken the work and created jpeg files for each of the pages. A [...]
One thing I love about blogs is that every now and then someone mentions a tip which totally changes how you work. This happened to me yesterday. Peter over at The Blog Studio wrote about how to design a blog. And among the couple dozen juicy paragraphs in the article he wrote this.
I use a [...]
Another new month marks the time when I gather statistics and review the past few weeks. However instead of my usual recap of the previous month’s stats, I’ll share how things have been going for the past several months.
While I won’t share any actual figures or tell which color is which broker, the slope of [...]
Okay, no less than two weeks after I listed reasons I wasn’t going to upgrade to WordPress 2.0, I’ve done so. But…. Just on this site. I have not upgraded any of my other WP installs and I don’t plan to soon.

Do you turn around and cast hoping to place your fly directly above where [...]
Things are crazy. Things are very crazy. I’ve written close to 100 blog posts this week and I’m still behind on one of them (flightnest). This whole craziness has been the result of a few different factors.
Google let one of my websites out of the sandbox. Or since Google barely acknowledges such a thing exists [...]
I thought I would offer my list of reasons why I’m not upgrading to WordPress 2.0 yet. I’ll approach this by going through the list of new features listed on the WP website.
Completely Redesigned Backend - Okay, yes it is pretty. But this won’t impact my blogging.
Faster Administration - Yes, if I decide to add [...]
I need an app. I don’t know if it exists. If it does it needs better marketing. Anyway, here are my requirements.
Nice looking Charts - I say “nice looking” because they don’t need to be as beautiful as the charts Keynote produces. However I’ve seen some charts out there that look like something [...]
Most people who have been able to compare YPN and AdSense on the same site have reached a similar conclusion; earnings per click (EPC) are much higher on YPN however click through rate (CTR) is lower resulting in similar revenues. I’ve experienced this as well so I set out to see how I might be [...]
