SEO Part Deux
Following up on the last post about search engine optimization (SEO), I wanted to continue with a bit more information on how the whole process is working for me. Several weeks in, and I’m even more glad than before that I decided to enlist some professional help. I’m even more sure than I was before [...]

A few months ago, I started doing some search engine optimization (SEO) on the company website. SEO is a process whereby you make your website more “find-able” and readable by the search engines.

I came across an interesting article this morning. I honestly think that business people should pay close attention to this one.

Following up on last week’s post explaining Cloud Computing, I want to spend a few more minutes covering off some of the other business advantages, and why you may wish to consider this for more than just the cost savings. Yes, the cost savings can be significant, and so can the simplicity it brings to [...]

A fairly big buzzword in IT circles for the past while has been “Cloud Computing” or “Cloud Services”. Now, as an IT pro myself, I generally don’t like to use too much tech jargon with my clients.
