Private or Corporate Computer Lessons: S...

I’m an experienced community class instructor with over seven years in IT. I own an interactive agency and work as a UI (user interface) designer for a large corporation.

If you have having trouble fixing your mac or pc I’m not your gal, take it to Best Buy or Apple where they will insure things if they break your computer. If you need your computer backed up or are afraid it will crash, I would...

Optimizing your Resume is like Optimizin...

I’m trying to optimize the layout and content of my resume to make it more obvious what my skill set and competencies are. My previous ones where not very specific to project management or marketing and haven’t got me very far. I do believe the lord leads us where he needs or wants us, but I also believe you don’t get places without putting in some energy. God doesn’t approve of idle hands and helps those who put in the effort to get where they want to go. An old chinese proverb says a man who rises before the sun and goes to bed after dawn is...

The Process of Getting a Small Business ...

Do you own a small business and want to take that business online? Farmers, doctors, lawyers and restaurant owners all are in completely separate industries of business, but can all reap the rewards of sharing knowledge and gaining an online customer base. Any small business owner or corporate looking to succeed markets their business in one way or another, and you do not have to know how to program, use Photoshop to design materials, or spend hours learning about search optimization and Google Web Standards (not that you can’t or that it wont help your business in...

What do you do when someone harasses you...

I’ve wondered from time to time if some people follow me just to put up hate mail, or comment every time I do something they don’t like. I don’t intentionally go out into the world to piss people off. It doesn’t stop people from complaining about my occasional typos or bad grammar. Nor does it stop someone from telling me they hate my design skills. On occasion I’ve been told I’m everything from pretty, to ugly, to stupid or that I just look like a dumb blonde. For the most part I try to take it in stride and ask myself if I did...

Sophie’s Site

Okay, I know how silly that sounds. Sophie has a site. For those of you who don’t know, Sophie is my Yorkie puppy. I love her. She’s my baby doll and co-star of my life/youtube videos. I built Sophie a site to capture her life, talk about having a dog, and training a puppy. Heck I live with a dog trainer and on a ranch where they raise and breed animals for a living! Her site captures her life, pictures, videos, my thoughts and life with Sophie. Plus it’s super cute and gives you one more look into my site. Check out the site in all it’s pink...

Using a CMS vs. Not – DO IT!

This post is a response to: (http://develophorizons.com/2011_blog.php). There are very few things you need to worry up-front about building a site, except if your style fits the designers’, the platform, and if they build your site up to web standards. Many programmers will use a scare tactic to avoid building a site with a CMS because they do not believe in CMS platforms or don’t know how to use them properly. The reality is, that a platform is only as good as it’s designer/developer. If you don’t employ someone who understands how to...
