Plan your website BEFORE you build it. Before you tweak a template or a line of code, draw up a clear set of goals.

Is this a business or personal site?
Are you wanting pure traffic or a committed community?
Is the site mainly being built to pass links or intended to attract them?
Is the site for [...]

Mike Andruff in Vancouver posted a video recapping the REW Conference in Nanaimo BC last month.  It’s nice to see some friends on there.  I hope Real Estate Webmasters hosts another next year!

It was actually my first app for iPhone but didn’t submit it to Apple. So I did now and they took it.
Thanks to all of you who have sought out the wares and used them and left some great comments and sent nice thanks. From all the “Thank yous” this lone app [...]

These Real Estate Associations never stop trying to control the livelihoods of paying members!
Ok, I personally have not been educated enough to understand what MIBOR and NAR is, or what the heck 2920292 carmel is yet.
I’m glad Carolyn, a Sacramento real estate professional, will guest post here and give me some learnin’ while providing an [...]

We’ve all done it (I do it too often) but there’s a place for it. Don’t post when you’re angry.
Forums are great places for “heated exchanges” (it actually brings in traffic) but in general, an angry post is usually something the author regrets.
A personal blog is a place where you can be you, yes, [...]

If you want to create a web app for your iPhone or port a current site that actually looks and behaves like an actual iPhone app, then look no further.
Two ways to build iPhone webapps:

Code it with a template (here)
Create iPhone websites via WordPress theme (oh-so-easy)

So, here I’ve built a template to help web [...]

You love your iPhone, but like me, you may have began to see some stuck pixels. Stuck pixels are not dead pixels – they’re stuck on a color and don’t refresh with screen redraws.
“Solutions” abound on the web to try to fix the stuck pixels on your iPhone but they are silly and uses [...]

I’ve talked to many about video and websites, WordPress and how to put it all together.
Many people have discovered that embedding a YouTube video to their WordPress blog theme can break it up. True. Though fixing it in the code view of your article is one solution, there’s great little plugin that will [...]

Apple always amazes us, they have stated that they aren’t computer or software manufactures, but innovators.
Apple announced the long rumored iPhone today – and it blows away the dreams of mac fans. The iPhone is revolutionary.
Integrated is a widescreen lcd with over 160 pixel/inch (that’s likely twice the resolution of your monitor) and it [...]

It’s time. It needs to happen. This site is a mess, unfocused and confusing – I know. It was fun, allowed me to play and explore without hurting clients. I never expected some of what has happened and have for a time been reluctant to change things. The size of this blog, all the sub-wordpress [...]

Frustrated with the same scraper splog for a while, pagerankpimp.com (many of you have noticed this in your Wordpress dashboard) – I’m happy to see they have apparently been nuked. Hopefully the efforts I’ve put forth finding others scraped by them have resulted in their AdSense account being banned; hence their removing the splog, [...]

I know, been a while – that’s a bad thing according to the blogging Gods. Worse than that is saying “sorry, been a while…” so instead of the apology I’ll just inform.
Yes, Ive been working but I have a job that extends beyond writing about SEO and iPhones, I promise.
FINALLY, we have Knox Hosting [...]
