Pitfalls of Working with Humans
“All things are difficult before they are easy. “ Thomas Fuller I am not a person who writes anything personal on the web. I have always kept all my articles and contributions online as part of my business related work. Anyone who has worked with me or knows me, knows I go above the call of duty. I love helping people. I enjoy teaching and empowering people online. Recently I have hit the over 200 client mark and I guess what happens is called growing pains. The little personal website company has to start tightening up a bit and being a bit more picky with the work and not letting themselves get taken advantage of.

Their website was up, but it had no keywords, tags, or any kind of the most basic SEO done. The client was more than willing to do it themselves, but the company insisted she […]
What is a gravatar, and how do I get one? Video Directions too.
Many people ask me how to get a gravatar, or really they ask me this, ” How do I get one of those photos that will show up next to my name on other websites”? Many people do not even know what a gravatar is. A gravatar is an image you select , that is attached to whichever email you select, when you sign up for a gravatar here. https://en.gravatar.com/. This image to the left of me is a gravatar I custom created. I was just using my headshot, but I noticed many places I left a gravatar, left no way of knowing who I was or where I could found. I took one of my images and just added my business name on the image using a graphic program I use. A great place to create your own custom […]
