I can’t help it, I just feel the need to link to Chicago Northwest Suburbs Real Estate.  Silly active rain people.

The “logo” on this site has changed over time.
Actually, it’s not a logo – I don’t want a little drawing to represent me or what I do.  What I have up there is just a symbol and I’ll explain the evolution and it’s beginning.

I’ll start with the end:  Below is a frame series from the [...]

Consumers are, well, consumed – thinking that a little number up in the Google Toolbar is the end-all and be-all of a website’s success.
Few SEO’s regard it as anything but a “foolbar” of sorts. I get all kinds of silly rants like “but it’s a pr3, why is that pr2 doing so well” while [...]

BUT, you shouldn’t boycott them because you didn’t [...]

Anyway – this blog content (some) is moving to Knoxing.com and will have all my silly stories and such.  The content from that domain [...]

Most businesses love “best practices” and manuals. These written standards are orderly, rational and logical. They have been tested and proven. They’re great because they give a team the sense that everyone is “on board”.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom. And Sarah, Dena, Samantha, Kelly, Kelly, Nikki, Nicki, Evy, Serina, Patti, Rae, Carol, Lakiesha, Shaniqua and Lasagna.
