I was planning to make my next tutorial a Camtasia video, but I was feeling rather stressed by that as video is not a natural medium for me. Writing is my strength, so I decided to do what I know and write a report instead. However, I did include numerous screen shots in the report [...]

Why? A custom header will include graphics that reflect your business, not graphics that could reflect any business even vaguely associated [...]

A couple of days ago, the beta testers had a sneak peak at the pre-launch version of XSitePro 2. What can I say? Is every single thing we wanted included in the release? No, of course not. Are there features included that we hadn’t even thought of? Oh, yeah! Is it going to make our [...]

Well, Google indexed my site, but I stayed in #3 position. Will have to go to plan B (backlinks).

Got back last evening after spending three days on Whidbey Island, Washington with my women’s group, the Otter Daughters. The group is semi-fluid, with some core members and others who drift in and out. There were seven of us this time. We ate, laughed, cried and shared our stories.
We helped one member with her English: [...]
