We can help setup a forum or a blog on your website to help build community, share ideas and also provide a good SEO resource.

Forums and blogs can provide you with an opportunity to see what people think about your website, services, products, etc.

The topics that you create on your blog should be related to the service you are providing or the product you are selling.

If your blog is seperate from your website, you should always link back to your main site from your blog.

Well-managed blogs can also rank very high on Google and bring traffic to your site.

5 Reasons to Build a Blog according to Yahoo:

1. Expose a new or unfamiliar product or idea
2. Improve your search engine rankings.
3. Position yourself as an expert in an industry or field.
4. Influence public opinion.
5. Engage in a forum openly with your customers.

We can setup most blogs (Google Blogger, WordPress, etc.) and modify their given templates so that the look like your current web design.

Have you recently purchased a template from TemplateMonster.com or some other resource but now have no idea how to modify it?

Let us help – we can take your web design template and modify it to fit your needs with your logos, your text and your graphics.

My buddy Richard over at Akiramedia.com sent me a link to http://westciv.com/xray/

There is a new free tool called XRAY that allows you to view the CSS for any page without having to droll through lengthy html and css pages.

Simpley download the tool, add it to your bookmarks, and then select any element on a web page and a little screen pops up with the css info relating to that element such as width, height, positioning, colors, etc.

Pretty cool huh? Try it out – XRAY

So my wife’s boss always says.

But I have to agree with him on this one – sort of like ‘you get what you paid for’.

If you pay $300 to your wife’s second cousin’s brother who has tinkered with HTML you will get a website that looks like a 3rd grader designed it.

I’ve gotten that phone call before – “I hate the way my website looks”, “The guy who did my website didn’t know what he was doing”, etc.

You wouldn’t expect to get a Mercedes Benz for the price of a Geo Prizm would you?

Was talking geek to a web buddy of mine last night and we were discussing new trends in the market and brainstorming on ways to make money online.

He mentioned ‘flipping websites’ and since I had never heard of that, I asked what he meant.

So basically, here’s the process, which is similar to flipping a house:

1. Identify a website to purchase.
2. Evaluate, negotiate and finalize the purchase.
3. Increase the value of the site.
4. Find someone to buy the site from you and sell that sucker.
