Tables For Your Website is So 1990
I remember when I worked for a web design firm a few years before I graduated from college.

Social Networking Let You Down?
A few years ago I used a Myspace account to bring in some serious views on a website project of mine, but it wasn’t a personal account. I created an account for my website to try and get a slice of that Myspace pie that was so huge two years ago, and it paid off [...]

The idea of people receiving updates about your content – without even visiting your website – was a great idea that could only help website’s page views. I [...]
Flash Isn’t So Flashy

To Joomla or Wordpress?
I get asked all the time by clients and viewer emails from this very blog asking for the difference between Wordpress and Joomla. Most of the time a client simply wants a working Content Management System, or CMS, but doesn’t know which one to pick. While these are both great CMS solutions, both can be [...]
