How much does a website cost?
I get this question, or some version of it, several times a week. It’s a tough question to answer and I sometimes find my self stalling. The thing is, clients don’t want to hear “that depends” or anything other than a firm number. It makes them nervous, and we’ve ALL grown up with the idea [...]
Continue ReadingWhat does bounce rate mean?
When sharing some analytics data with a client I got a question on what “bounce rate” means. This is the explanation I shared with her, and though it might be useful for some of you. A “bounce” is when a visitor lands on a page of your site, and then leaves the site without clicking on anything [...]

So I just read a very good blog post by Daniel Decker (danieldecker.net) about complaining. He suggests the implementation of a “no complaining” rule. The point of this rule, is something that I’ve practiced for all of my professional life. And that is. You don’t get to complain about something, with out offering a solution. [...]

The other day I was listening to the radio (I don’t often, but it was on) and there was a PSA type thingy. About teaching Boys not to hit Girls. And it made me think: “Why don’t we just teach KIDS not to hit PEOPLE.” I mean, isn’t that really the bigger message? Don’t hit. [...]

Apologies if this seems written at a very basic level. I wanted it to be clear enough for my dad to understand. I’d love any additional tips you have, and encourage you to share it with those in your life that might not be as well versed in Facebook as we are. I love Facebook, both [...]

In the Saturday morning panel of SexTech 2001, I was excited to hear from the producers of MTV’s hit show, 16 and pregnant, and also, a show I find just as interesting, maybe more so, Teen Mom. This panel was moderated by Dr. Jeff Livingston. Amongst this seemingly exceptionally diverse and sex-positive crowd I was [...]

UPDATE: Looks like I wasn’t the only one to make the connection. “Minecraft Going Lego – Gamerplex” I love this idea, so hard. *** In an act of unprecedented, even for me, geekery, I began playing Minecraft. Now, I know this isn’t a new game, and I’d even seen it before, but had no interest. I’m [...]

Un-Clear
So, I’ve been pretty much treated like a criminal when calling my ISP to resolve the problem. See there is no set number they can tell you that is “too much” just when you go over it, they throttle you to this speed (or lower, most of the time I’m at .2). I’ve been lectured [...]
