WordPress by default will let Ping-o-matic know you have updated posts and then ping a few other services. A ‘Ping’ is a basic program that lets you verify that a particular Internet address exists and can accept requests. The verb ping in the Blog world means the act of notifying a service you have updated [...]

The Sarasota Misguided Loser Squad You may notice that I added a ‘SARjacking’ Badge to my sidebar. This is to support a movement – one that all Real Estate professionals on the web need to be aware of.  Please read about the Sarasota MLS board and how they have stolen a successful domain from one [...]

Good video, and asks a few questions we talk about here.

Ok, while surfin’ I found a great time killer and thought I’d share it with you. I added a photo of me and a partner here to present this great diddy. Create your own show at DanceSisterDance.com. You can decide, add some politicians or your boss. Found this originally to make a b-day card for [...]

I can understand the thought process. A company holds a meeting and it’s decided that they want/need a website. They shop around, gather bids and ultimately write a huge check to some firm or somebody for a state-of-the-art website with so many bells and whistles that it would make Cpt. Kirk envious.

I was emailed today and notified I was mentioned on c|net. Cool – my template for iPhone web apps was the story.

The only thing these web pages have in common [...]

Our brains are composed of millions of individual neurons which are not connected, but do have simple input/output devices, a basic firing mechanism allowing a neuron to connect with another, or a network of neurons. With this architecture we create, grow, interact, organize and participate in the world around us. The web is composed of [...]

2007 is over. I’ve added the 4th Quarter ‘Bragstat’ below, with markers of when I posted here. The purpose though isn’t to say “look at my #’s” but to remind everyone that posting new content brings past readers back to your blog.
