Some things call for an appropriately dramatic response. Not too long ago my 4-year-old granddaughter Kate was at my house, just after dark.  The lights from cars passing down the street were creating some spooky light-and-shadow dance moves on the garage doors across the street from my driveway.  I was unloading the back of my SUV and Kate was standing behind me studying the patterns of light and dark, trying to determine if the unusual patterns were made by ghosts or not. As I stepped back towards the street to close the hatch of my car, I triggered the...

Blogging vs Facebook Infographic

Are you facing a dilemma in business, asking yourself this question: Should I use Facebook or a  Blog for my business?  To help you find an answer for your business, here are some points to consider and reasons to choose one over the other.

These military bases do their own purchasing...

According to Apple, it’s simple to transfer documents from a Mac or PC to iPad using file-sharing apps.  According to me, I agree. The iPad is suited for storing data on the Web since tablets have relatively small internal storage capacity. Thankfully, there are a variety of easy-to-use options available for online storage.  However, if you are new to using the iPad, you may be asking, “Which one?’” For me, the top of the list of free options is Dropbox.   Here’s visual for how Dropbox works. After you have logged in to Dropbox,...

Link-building and Google+’s “Search Plus Your World.” Several folks have asked me about the SEO benefit and value of link-building through directory listings.  According to Website Magazine the trends have changed over the years, and what is considered a best practice is much different now than a few years back. Many years ago, all that was required to rank high on the search engines was to have as many links as possible pointing back to your website. That resulted in a lot of guidance such as ‘building links from portals and directories.’...
