The Power of Need…

Need drives us to seek out information, community, and ways to share what we know with others. As social creatures we require a way to connect and interact. This article talks about these aspects and how they reflect in Internet marketing, why they are so important, and offers advice as to how to “be real” to your visitors.

“Anyway, we’re in a world where the mainstream social networks want any and all people to boost user numbers for the big selloff and are not concerned with the quality of experience.” ~ Trent Reznor

Review: Platium SEO Pack Plugin

As I learn more about SEO and Plugins in general, I decided to trim down some of the multiple-use plugins for ones that were all inclusive. In short, fewer plugins helps the site run faster and load more quickly. So I want the power of many of these SEO Plugins without the need for so many downloads.

Navigation Links

Surfing around the net I discovered a difference in philosophy on, of all things, Navigation links. So why write an article about it? Well for the completely clueless, navigation links are the hyper links (short-form: links) in say a header menu, a side-bar menu, or a footer menu. In fact they can show up anywhere, even inside a blog post, or website page. These take you to important areas, or areas that a designer/ site owner want to draw your attention and have you visit. Navigation links are honestly vital to any website. I mean otherwise how would people get … Continue reading
