Sometimes, you simply need for your PowerPoint presentations to be in a more dynamic format for Web use. Rather than spending your time fretting about this, you might consider something like PowerPoint to Flash as a usable solution. Easy to use and relatively straight forward to setup, I feel confident this will help to take […]

I think these folks might be a little hard on Staples.com myself. While they correct, the site is pretty ugly, the new styling that it had before the rollback will likely be coming back shortly after all of the bad press the Staples site has been getting for its poor layout choices. I say give […]

In the last round, we saw WordPress eliminate Google’s Blogger, but in this article we put pMachine up against Movable Type. Each has proven itself as a capable blogging tool, but who will be eliminated this round?

Everybody else and their grandmother is sounding off about this topic, so I guess I will toss my proverbial hat into the ring and sound off as well. Many more popular or more brilliant minds than my own have pretty much said everything I could say on the topic. The person I tend […]

I have been preaching it day after day for too many years now, but there are still folks signing up for Web hosting for all the wrong reasons. I hate to shatter anybody’s bubble out there, but there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth or unlimited disc space. Every Web hosting server […]

What do you think? Do those crazy loyalty programs really work? Well, it looks like Buy.com is betting that they do. As a matter of fact, they are rolling out a program of their very own in order to compete in the ever-crowded online shopping arena.

Please understand. I do not advocate running a Web server on your home network. But if you are in a bind where it is the only choice, finding the right software is going to be key as far as the administration side of things go. One good option that you might investigate is NetworkActiv Web […]

To be very honest, I am really selective when it comes to the FTP clients that I use. As for FTP servers, not so much. Why? Well it’s not because I am careless. No, actually I just have never really had the desire to use one outside of a server I am using off site. […]

I can’t lie to you. When somebody mentions search engine optimization I tend to roll my eyes and look the other way. I want my creative freedom! I do not want to be chain ganged by stupid search engine rules. The fact of the mater though is it is something all of […]

Sometimes you have a great Web site or blog, but you do not have a clue what to post on it or talk about. It has happened to all of us. We have got the greatest layout, the greatest domain name but when it comes to content we draw a blank. You […]

Personal Media Aggregators are the road to create instant-vertical-communities by way of becoming fulcrum points around which news, commentary, discussion, and networking opportunities around a very specific topic, brand, celebrity or writer can become a cohesive aggregating force.
Somewhere at the crossroad between personalized RSS news aggregators, of which a few have appeared during 2004, and […]

I am all about anything that make my Internet speeds a little faster. The problem that I have seen with a number of applications designed for this need is that most of them don’t work. Having said that, I have yet to have the opportunity to try NetTurboPro 2005. On the surface, it looks to […]

If you are serious about your Web based business, then chances are you will want to participate in WebmasterWorld’s Search Conference coming in June of this year. Having said this, if you are finding that it is conflicting with your plans to go to Gnomedex, I think there is little point in stating what the […]

Finding the right lawyer could be compared to finding the right dentist. As obvious as this must seem, you will find attempting to locate a good attorney is no small task. One solution might be to check out Lawyers.com. While it might not get you of the legal situation in which you are needing the […]

Who says there are no jobs out there? According to the Search Engine Journal, WorkZoo Job search is indexing something like 40,000 jobs! That is just insane! The WorkZoo UI is pretty plain and straight forward. But for those who are wanting to locate that next great job, the UI is not really all […]

A recent press release has indicated that FreeBible.com could be a runaway success with interested parties. Their belief that anyone that wishes to have access to the good book be able to get to one. Sounds like a generous idea to me. Could work to really bring religion over to the Web in a big […]

Interested in having Web based access to all of your favorite show? Then perhaps this Location Free TV system from Sony is just what the doctor ordered. As reported by The Industry Standard, you can use this to watch your favorite shows anywhere you have a LAN connection or even a stable broadband linkup. I […]

Online shopping is a big business, even for huge companies like AOL. They are working to improve their Web shopping environment, inStore. In addition to making it more accessible, I think it does need the upgrade. If they are going to compete in this area, moving things forward just makes sense.

Ever wonder what the idea of Internet Explorer 7 looks like from the developers perspective? Here is an interesting post that allows us to see the thoughts and concerns the issues surrounding IE 7 and what needs to be addressed to make sure this is an effective upgrade from IE 6. So far, it all […]

By now, everyone who uses WordPress is aware that there is a new version available, that being WordPress 1.5 Strayhorn. I have been using it for a month or two and have been very happy with it, but it is not without its woes. These woes are really just a learning curve that […]
