Ah, iPhone, how do I love thee, let me count the ways…

July 4, 2009

Ted and I each got iPhones last month (I know, I know, just before the new ones came out, but our other phones’ contracts were up, and even so, we were charged an extra $70 or so because we didn’t switch over right). We love them. I actually enjoy speaking on the phone with people [...]

Stagnant Blog a Sign of a Vital Business?

April 17, 2009

Whenever a client wants to have a blog on their website, I caution them that they need to set a schedule for posting to that blog because one of the first things I look at on a website is the date of the last blog entry. Theoretically, if that date is well in the past [...]

Be Different

April 16, 2009

I’ve been listening to a few different marketing podcasts lately and one of the recurring themes is that you need to be different (this is aimed at small businesses). There are lots of people out there who offer the same services or products that you do (welcome to the World Wide Web) so you need [...]

CSS Image Replacement

April 8, 2009

I’ve been playing around quite a bit lately with image replacement, which means that I put text on the web page and then use CSS to replace that text with an image. So, when someone is looking at the page with a browser, they see the nice graphic. If google looks at the page, it [...]

Finder Oddities

January 23, 2009

I had a tough one yesterday. A client of mine told me that when he was in the Finder, clicking down through his folder hierarchy, it would suddenly jump him back up to the top level of his drive. It did the same thing if he changed the sorting in the view pane. There didn’t [...]

Map That Site!

January 23, 2009

Maybe it’s because I live in a small house and have been on a simplify and unclutter kick for the past year and still going strong (great blog – unclutterer), but it makes sense to me that you your website needs to be organized and uncluttered. And how do you design an organized/uncluttered website? You [...]

What are Extra Domain Names Good For?

August 25, 2008

Not a whole lot, actually. When you bought your domain name (internet address or URL, like cornercode.com), whoever sold you the domain name probably suggested that you get a few extra ones, maybe with different endings or similar words in the name. Should you get those extras? That depends. If you’re trying to protect your [...]

Should I have a Blog on My Web Site?

March 11, 2008

A lot of people have heard about blogs (web logs, a site where someone or a team of someones posts short articles on a particular topic) and I use blogging software (WordPress, to be exact) on some of my sites because it makes it very easy to set up a blog and to set up [...]

Love at Second Sight (iPod touch revisited)

February 15, 2008

I wrote about my iPod touch earlier (after getting it for Christmas). I had a few reservations about it, so couldn’t give it my unconditional love, but that’s pretty much changed now after the update that came out at Macworld Expo. The update addressed a few of my concerns: it fixed the sleep timer (hooray!!) [...]

iPod Touch – a gadget lover’s dream

January 14, 2008

‘Twas the night before Macworld Expo and you could almost hear all the mac-macs and tech geeks holding their breath, waiting for what Steve Jobs will reveal. As I also wait breathlessly, I thought I’d review the iPod touch. As soon as the iPhone was announced, I told myself, ‘When they put out an iPod [...]
