Video Communication Ramps Up

We are in an era where education is no longer something that has to be constrained to a classroom. In fact, you can broaden the reach of your classroom to include remote locations and without ever leaving your desk. You can have guest speakers that don’t actually have to travel to get to you. You […]

Peel and Taste Ads

Have you seen the new “peel and taste” ads for Welch’s grape juice?
On one hand, I agree that print ads for food and drink are not the best way to sell something that depends on having a good flavor. While you can successfully sell a new perfume by using a “scratch and sniff” ad, I […]

Large Scale Desalination in Florida

Water supply is a problem in many areas of the United States. Here is Florida, we’ve found a way to deal with the fact that we often find ourselves in drought, even though we are completely surrounded by saltwater – desalination.
In Clearwater, Florida residents are benefiting from the nation’s first, large-scale seawater desalination plant. It […]

Cool Wireless Security System

I live in an older house right now, in a relatively safe neighborhood where the neighbors are just nosy enough to look out for one another. One night when I left my van door open, a neighbor from around the corner came by at night to tell me about it. Bless her heart. I had […]

Ode to Soft Butter

I have a confession. Sometimes I go to the bakery and buy a hot loaf of bread. Then, I come home and that is all I eat for the day: the bread with fresh butter. It happens when I am having a relapse of my whole carb addict issue.

I like being able to write about Florida businesses, so here is another one for the spotlight.
AppRiver is a Gulf Breeze, Florida Company that offers some of the industry’s most innovative spam and virus protection, as well as Exchange hosting service for businesses. I know that when I open up some of my older domain […]

Listening to My Site Visitors

I have a website where I offer free instructions for hair bows. I get a lot of traffic daily and I want to make sure the site is as geared toward the people visiting my site as possible. So, I decided to add a couple of polls to the website to see what my visitors […]

Know Your Site Statistics

Unless your web site is simply a family photo album or a small, personal project, you are more than likely concerned with the amount and quality of the traffic your site receives. If you understand your traffic, you can make adjustments to your site’s content that will allow your site to better meet the needs […]

The Universities of the Future Are Online

I earned by first two bachelors degrees in the early 90s, before the internet had fully come onto the scene. By the time I was ready to add a teaching certificate to my educational arsenal, times had changed and I completed a good number of my courses online.
Personally, I enjoyed the mix of classroom setting […]

Take It Slow When Choosing a Web Host

You can’t throw a virtual pebble and not hit a company who sells web hosting. In fact, anyone at all can buy a reseller account and sell their own hosting packages, all without actually owning any servers. Needless to say, the competition is fierce when it comes to working to win the hearts and the […]
