WordPress 3.0 is just about to be launched to the public. As of this writing, RC3 is available, but from what I have read, the actual final version could come out as early as later today. I am looking forward to it, but as with anything new, there are new things to learn, adapt and implement. Over the next few days, I will be adding snipets of various articles I have read releated to the new changes within WP 3.0 and how to add them or use them within your new website. I am not doing this to take credit for the information; rather this is for ME! My idea is to put all of this reference material in one...

Recently, WordPress 3.0 RC-1 became available. I normally don’t mess with release canidate versions as you never know what you are getting, but I happened to have a great project that seemed fitting to try this.

As a matter of fact, this is a common attack on a number of CMS platforms. Any CMS platform that has a master user...

Still top Google for Charlotte home loans - over 1 year after leaving mortgage industry! Many people come to this website seeking mortgage information. Among them are several local mortgage loan officers. However, as you can clearly see, this website is no longer about mortgage loans or home loans in the Charlotte area, not like it once was. You see, over a year and a half ago, I left the mortgage industry. However, before leaving, I was able to build a very strong internet presence in regards to mortgage related search inquiries. In other words, when someone searched for home loans in Charlotte, you...

I wanted to share a couple website designs I have been working on. You may notice that these are designed specifically with the real estate market in mind, but in many cases they could be adapted to a different industry if needed. Currently, these designs have not been placed on anyone’s website. They were creative exercises for myself. However, they are available for purchase if you may be interested. Simply contact me with a request and we can work out the details....
