Random thoughts, end of May, and here comes Summer

When summer comes, the heat turns up, and often, we find fun things to do. What are you doing that’s fun this summer? So, as we exit the month of May, let’s pause a moment to collect or random thoughts. Or, at least my random thoughts. New places to go I visited the WP Feedback Summit a few weeks back. In doing so, I met some new (to me) people. A couple of people I met were  Kristina Romero of GoWP and Donata Kalnenaite of Termageddon.  These new places have led to new relationships. I have joined the go GoWP Niche

Colleen Gratzer wants to help you make sure you are compliant for website accessibility

Ever been to an outdated government website? I have. It’s frustrating. Perhaps the website isn’t responsive or built on tables (yikes!). Even worse, it may not adhere to any accessibility standards. We simply can’t ignore or take lightly the idea of accessibility in website design. That’s one reason I brought Colleen Gratzer in to discuss the subject more. You may have heard about the Domino’s lawsuit regarding accessibility. “Guillermo Robles, who is blind, has tried to order a custom pizza from Domino’s at least twice in recent years, using the company’s website and mobile app. “He says despite using screen

Q&A with Colleen Gratzer designer, developer & accessibility expert

Accessibility. Two things to note. First, I have a hard time spelling it. What about you? Second, I am woefully inadequate to talk about the topic. Almost four years ago, I posted two articles on MainWP about accessibility. In the conclusion of the second article, I wrote, To make your website Accessibility-ready, you will still have to do your part. Remember, part of making a site Web Accessible is following best practices with your content which exist aside from your theme. I think this remains true. I know very little more than I knew then. So, this time I put

6 Things I learned from starting a Youtube Show

My friend Davinder had been after me for a while to start a podcast. He even had me on his podcast. In the past couple of years, I frequented a handful and discovered I didn’t mind talking about things I like and know something about. A couple of those podcasts actually recorded a video. I’m a handsome man, so they worked out pretty well ;). When it came time for me to create a podcast, I decided just to do a video show. After all, I wanted to populate my Youtube channel, and I thought this would be a great

May Setlist: Musings about life and a roundup

My friend Chanti sends out an email every Sunday. She calls it the Sunday Setlist. I love it because I love music. A setlist is, of course, the queue of songs that a musician uses to remind them what songs they will perform. Perhaps we could use a little more music these days. Therefore, today this article will contain a setlist of sorts.  Now, me being a product of the 80s, that tends to be the type of music I love. What is your favorite decade of music?

April Random thoughts from a fellow MainWP user

Just like everything else going on, this article is a little unusual. I mean, we’ve had a crazy year in 2020, huh? I hope you are all safe and doing well. We are all a little bit uneasy right now. I refuse to use “uncertain times” and a few other phrases used during the great COVID-19 Pandemic. That’s not to say these are not extraordinary because they are.  How are you staying busy? Drop your answers in the MainWP Users Facebook Group. Moving on. So I tossed together a few random thoughts for this week’s article. Don’t stop working  We

Content marketing has a compound effect that lasts for years and helps you generate business

A few years ago, I worked in a customer service call center. That was just one of the more interesting jobs I had. I worked for two mortgage companies. So we serviced home mortgages. I learned way more about the industry than I ever intended to. One of the regular discussions we had with customers was how to pay off their loans faster. We would walk them through an amortization schedule based on what they projected to pay. One thing was sure, the more that they committed to paying the principle of their loan would allow them to pay off

3 tips to utilize content distribution and attract the right audience to your website

I’ve always believed that content promotion or content distribution is the missing piece of many content marketing strategies. After all, if no one is there to see, hear, or listen to your content, then it doesn’t really make an impact. In the movie Field of Dreams, Kevin Costner’s character Ray Kinsella was told that if he builds it (a baseball field), “they will come.” Unlike what Kinsell was told, creating the content (or website) doesn’t mean they will come. They need to know or hear about the content. Enter content distribution. Some people call it content promotion. The idea is
