While working on a client web site recently I ran into a disturbing problem. The site I was working on I had to make several page templates, as I normally do. I mean, let’s face it the power of WordPress page templates is an awesome thing in theme design and customization, but I digress… Read the rest of this entry »

I wanted to speak out about iPhones just a tad. I own an iPhone and I absolutely love it so don’t get me wrong here. However, if you are an iPhone user you most likely feel a bit like i do about it…a love/hate relationship. I mean here Apple gives us a technology that has great potential to be a very powerful tool and entertainment device and they cripple it to death! Yes, that’s right, I said it out loud. Well, at least in type I said it but same effect. Alright, I want to explain my thinking here so that you non-iPhone users and those iPhone users not yet enlightened so let’s try a list.

Most of us now days have some way to carry around music whether it be an iPod, iRiver, or one of the numerous other mp3 music players. In fact today most cell phones are also mp3 players so we can carry our music everywhere we go. This is something I enjoy very much, music has always been a very large part of my life and it always will. Think about it for a minute, anytime you hear an old song you most likely have a memory triggered that your mind associates with that song, that time period, that era.

I now own an iPhone which although it was rather pricey I must admit I have definitely got my money’s worth out of it already. I bought my wife and I an iPhone sometime last year, a 3G model. I purchased the 8gig models due to the price factor but I figured 8 gigs is more than plenty of room. Well, obviously this was before I was introduced to Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, so today I am going to speak off topic about something that just irritates the living crap out of me, this has nothing at all to do with development or theme builds for WordPress…but hey, what’s the good of having your own web voice if you don’t use it to voice concerns once in awhile too right? So I work freelance, which anyone who has ever worked freelance knows this means Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, so recently I posted about an article on how to setup a GOD mode icon on your desktop to access most anything administrative you can think of in Windows 7. Well, I am here to tell you now that I tried it on a friends computer and it worked beautifully. This is basically like an alternative control panel only with tons, and I do mean TONS, of features to access and administrate most anything within your new Windows 7 environment. It is reported this only works with Windows 7 but another has reported it worked fine on his Vista install. I have to give kudos to Online Tech Tips for this nice little techy tip.

Many of you use your web site to sell products, tangible products that each have their own special packaging. There are also many of us that sell our own products and packaging is something you have to deal with, right? Wrong! I know the packaging seems like an expensive pain in the butt and something you “have to deal with” but this may very well decide how many sales you actually get on your products so think positively about it. So the bottom line is “YES” people do judge a book by it’s cover when it comes to their shopping habits and decisions. Read the rest of this entry »

So here we are with a brand new Windows operating system again with tons of promises like we get with each version. I won’t speak about the OS itself, as I have not used it enough to give a fair assessment. I will, however, address a common issue that I hope will help many of my readers. One of the most common complaints I always receive working in technical support is that with every new version they have moved everything around and now they can’t find anything. This is a huge mistake on Microsoft’s part in my opinion. Everyone loves an upgrade with new features but nobody, especially in the work place, has time to completely relearn their operating system.

It’s a new year and time to throw out the old and bring in the new. The same is true with your blogs, business sites, personal sites, and others.

As someone owning a business or as a designer of web applications and web sites you will need to think crisp, clean, brand new, shiny, fresh! Emotionally, this is what people want for their new beginning, and who can blame them? I mean, isn’t this what you want too? I know it’s definitely what I want. Read the rest of this entry »

So while listening to the radio this morning as I always do I heard some commentary that I found very disturbing, especially considering our current world economic client. The radio personalities were doing their usual banter, during which they offered the tip that “If you are unemployed be sure to keep your credit in check as many companies now check an applicant’s credit report before even considering them for a position”.

Now in the past this was common place for certain places of business that Read the rest of this entry »
