Last week I got an email out of the blue from someone I had never heard of, asking me if I would be interested in designing some websites in Thesis.  This got me thinking, why did the sites have to be in Thesis?  The Expand2Web Small Business WordPress theme was the very first theme I [...]

I have the wonderful luck of knowing Lyn Littlefield Hoopes, a poet and author of several commercially successful children’s books. This summer Lyn and I decided to turn her one page web brochure into a full blown site where we would showcase her poetry,  her photography, and most importantly Lyn’s Writing Workshops for children and [...]

Thanks to a class that I took with Expand2Web with Don Campbell on Social Media Strategy for Small Business I have learned how to embed FMBL into Facebook Pages.  Which means (drum roll please!) that I can now do some very cool stuff with Facebook pages such as: embed a Video, add links to other [...]

One of the many things I love about my career is the amazing people I get to work with each day.   Recently, I have connected with Austin Hines, of DoubleA Pictures, who is a writer and video producer for corporations, television, short films and documentaries. Austin produced the incredible video you see below for one [...]

How to Have A Static Piece Of Content As An Introduction To Your WordPress Blog I have been working on a site (that has yet to be launched) and the client wanted to have a blurb about the blog that remained constant.  As you know, each time you create a new blog post, that one [...]

I really enjoy all of my clients, but I am super excited that I have been hired by a real live fictional character!! No lie, Gilda Joyce Psychic Investigator must have had a premonition that I was hoping for a spunky, fashion forward young girl to add to my roster! The Gilda Joyce mystery series [...]

One of my favorite design tools is the old standard,  Color Cop.  I know there are other fun super cool choices out there, but this is so simple and easy to use, I always seem to circle back to it! This is a free tool that you download onto your computer.  Once open, you simply [...]

Last week, out of the blue, I got a call from Laura, the publisher of Mom Technology, asking me a question about my website.  As we chatted we realized that we are both taking an online class taught by my friend Don Campbell of Expand2Web. Laura’s site has lots of useful information, product reviews, links [...]

Reviews are an amazing way to boost your rankings, relevance and results. I suggest you ask your clients to leave a review of your business.  By using the steps in this example I will show you how to leave a review for FlourGirlsBakingCo.com on Google: The person writing the review will need a gmail address, [...]

Recently, one of my dear friends in Texas asked me to build a site for a charity she is on the board for, Acta Non Verba – Actions Not Words Zimbabwe. The couple who founded the charity, Kathy and Mark Paukune, had been so moved by the people and the conditions in Zimbabwe after a [...]

Yesterday my friend Chris Donley, developer of the incredible Message Sherpa, and I went to Boston to hear Seth Godin speak.  I took notes on my iPad (I will stop working that into every conversation very soon, I promise). Here is a brief list of my notes: Ideas that spread win People like to do [...]

I had to have the iPad, I really don’t know exactly how I am going to use it, but I couldn’t even imagine not having one.  Typically I am not an early adapter, but this product grabbed my attention in a powerful way. As I was waiting for the coveted item to arrive I happened [...]

I am a big fan of books, reading and authors.  I think the process of writing is a huge challenge,  getting your thoughts down, edited, produced, and to ultimately have people around the world moved by your words, is a huge accomplishment that leaves me in awe. I have a few friends who are authors, [...]

I have been very lucky to have been working with some awesome new clients. I updated my portfolio of web designs and wanted to share them with you. If you are ready to build a new web site or revamp your existing one, please give me a call and I would love to help, 508-317-7355.

I don’t talk about this too much, but I am a ghost writer for a few different blogs.  The reality is, blogging is not easy for everyone and it is always smart to outsource the things that get in the way of you doing what you are really good at.  I believe strongly that the [...]

Three times this week I  have been asked “how do I get people to follow my blog”?  Answer, lots of ways, but for the sake of time let’s start here – make sure you have the infrastructure set up for people to get your feed easily.  If you haven’t yet, go to FeedBurner and follow [...]

This is a story of reconnection via Facebook with high school friends that resulted in us all doing business together. Last year I sent out Facebook Friends requests to a mass mailing of people that I graduated from high school with.  Don Campbell accepted my request, and I began to see posts “lunch at the [...]

I heard the term Brand Ambassador for the first time this week and just love it.  It sounds very official, yet it is so basic and simple – someone representing your brand in a positive way and spreading the message to the rest of the world (or your town, depends on how global you are [...]

I have just finished a new website for 1980 USA Olympic Hockey Team goalie Jim Craig. Some of you may not know that after the Olympics Jimmy transitioned his gold medal success into an award winning career in sales. Today he travels the country as a motivational speaker sharing his Gold Medal Strategies for Success. [...]
