The other day I announced I am pulling my design and installation services off the market in order to focus on some new and exciting projects. To give those who were interested but hadn’t yet committed to hiring me a last chance, I offered a grace period:

Between holding down a part-time job, doing work for my kick-ass business blog consulting services clients, launching my How to Start a Business Website and Hire a Web Designer ebook, developing the Gateway Blogging learning program, and writing posts here every week…

Have you ever tried to teach Microsoft Windows to a person who knows nothing about computers?

Nearly all of my clients live too far away for me to ever meet with them in person. Feelgood Eats author Sue Bette has been living in California but is moving to Vermont in a few weeks. She was in [...]

If you’re considering starting a blog, you have no doubt considered whether or not to use Google’s Blogger. If you did any kind of research on the matter, you quickly uncovered a hotbed of hatred towards the service:
People hate Blogger because it is a haven for automated blogs that are nothing more than fronts [...]
I know that others have covered this topic, but I don’t really care, because none of them were me.
Ruts are like habits: easy to fall into and hard to get out of. The problem is that by the time you realize you’re in one, well, you’re in one. In other words, it’s too [...]
When I see my clients writing great posts and doing well with their blogs, it makes me feel all warm and squishy inside. I looked over some of the recent posts they’ve made so you can see for yourself the kind of blogging people do who have worked with me. Please do pay these folks [...]
