I’m leaving this moring for Elite Retreat, and I’m writing this in the airport because my flight is delayed. It occurs to me that I may not be able to productively fill all of my “one on one” time. Have you looked at who’s speaking at...

Over the past couple of years, I’ve put out a few SEO tools, but none have been as well received as my latest addition, SEO Automatic, which gives instant SEO feedback on any given URL. The concept was simple – we needed to be able to review a website and...

Next Tuesday night, you’ll have an opportunity to hear two usability experts talk about real-life examples and case studies, and perhaps even some live reviews, (if you’d like to submit your own site) in the February SEMpdx event. Instead of the usual Hot...

As I promised this morning, I have uploaded my East Portland Chamber of Commerce presentation here, including all of the links that I spoke about. You may open it directly from this link, or just right click here and choose “save as” to get it onto your...

Believe it or not, the board of SEMpdx has been getting a number of emails asking us where to register for SearchFest 2009, coming up in March. So, I figured I would take a minute to point out the SearchFest registration, as well as the entire SearchFest 2009 agenda,...

A dozen years ago or so, I had one password that I used for everything, and it wasn’t until some bad experiences that I understood the wisdom of having stronger passwords. That said, to this day, I have some very simple passwords for literally dozens of online...

I can’t even begin to count the number of WordPress blogs that I’ve set up personally, much less count how many have been done by various members of our team. We used to use an actual checklist, to ensure that everything was done the right way with...

This year I spent only a bit more than a half day at CES and I stayed only in the Sands Expo Hall, unlike previous shows CES 2006, and CES 2007. Last year for 2008 I was able to write three posts nearly all from the Expo Hall, but it was nearly a third smaller than it...

One of the clients I work with has a web developer that implemented Microsoft Live Analytics last year, and Firefox users are seeing an SSL error when they visit their site. I’ve been remiss in even reporting this because I keep assuming they’re going to...

We use WordPress to build a lot of websites, not only because it’s so easy, but because it’s great for search engine optimization. However, when I began using it to build full sites as opposed to just supplementing existing sites with blogs, I noticed a...

I was invited to install a beta of a new product called LapLink Everywhere, allowing for remote access to a PC. Since I was stuck at home on a snowed in Saturday afternoon, I decided to try it. I downloaded the software, went through a 90 second sign up process, and...

I’m not ashamed to admit that I have avoided Windows Vista since it first came out. Although I’m a Microsoft Action Pack subscriber and received my first version of Vista well over a year ago, I’ve continued to function in an XP environment not only...
