  • Self Care for Website

    I finally took some time to give this website a needed facelift. I decided to turn back to basics with the Twenty Twenty-Three WordPress theme. I have been there done that with more WordPress themes than I care to count. This puts the content first, which is all there is at the end of the…

  • Why the word “resolution” is no longer in my vocabulary

    Why the word “resolution” is no longer in my vocabulary

    Its that time of year again. Everyone is declaring what they want to accomplish in the coming year. Personally, I decided not to use the word resolution, but instead use the word goal. A goal can be adjusted. A goal can also be broken down. A resolution is set in stone and it causes pressure…

  • If Something is not Available, Create it! #Kuumba

    There are certain lessons in life that repeat themselves, especially if the lesson hasn’t been retained the first time. This particular lesson occurred last week during Kwanzaa.

  • Don’t blow your 15 minutes of online fame

    Grandma called me excitedly to tell me about a product she’d see on the Martha Stewart show. She got the company and the product right, but this is when things start to get interesting.

  • Google AdWords Campaigns can now run on your iPhone

    This would be a good time to review whether or not mobile marketing is in your strategy.

  • Why webmasters need the URL address when making edits

    Its inevitable.  There needs to be an edit made on a website. Maybe its your website. You contact your webmaster and say, please edit this on the “services” page. This is all good if you have a webmaster that only works on one website, but in this day and age people work on multiple websites,…
