I can’t stress just how important it is to backup your blog or website! I’ve been having an issue with the backend of my WordPress site for a while now, but just hadn’t had time to really look into it as I have some client projects on the go. My site is definitely due for an overhaul and redesign, however, in the meantime, since this is what I currently have and my clients’ projects come first before my own projects, this is the site I presently have to work with.

No matter if you use BlueHost or another hosting provider, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) should be important to everyone with a website because applying certain SEO tactics and strategies will help you to rank better with the Search Engines, which in turn will make it easier for people to find your website as opposed to someone else’s when they search for keywords related to your site’s content.

A few months back, I wrote an post on Free Google Tools for Websites and Blogs. One of the things I recently discovered is yet another awesome Google tool: Google Feedburner’s Socialize feature. Google now has its own URL shortener, which Socialize makes use of. This also enables you can use Google Analytics to track your traffic from Twitter. I absolutely love Socialize because it automates your workflow. There are other tools as well that do the same thing, such as TwitterFeed, however, I’m a big Google fan, and I love the integration with Google Analytics, which I already use on ... [read more]...

I was recently introduced to some free image editing tools that I thought would be useful/helpful to others, so I’d like to share this awesome resource. It’s called Aviary, and it’s a line of multiple web-based applications (no installation required) that seem awesome, and are now free to use! There are several tools, actually (not just image editing), including: Image Editor Color Editor Effects Editor Vector Editor Image Markup Screen Capture Audio Editor I’ve briefly played around with the Image Editor called Phoenix, and it seems pretty equivalent to Photoshop Ele ...

Below is a list of some of these tools, most of which I use myself.
