An Explanation of HTML5 for Beginners
1 May 2012 | 12:09 pmIf you’re an active designer or developer you’ve undoubtedly heard the term “HTML5” being thrown around almost as frequently as Apple, Google or Twitter. “HTML” stands for “Hyper Text Markup Language” and can be found in nearly every website on the web. HTML4 was released in 1997 and has been updated to handle the increasing demands modern technology has for the Internet. While HTML4 has been ‘tweaked’ to provide higher levels of interactivity and multimedia to webpages, it has its drawbacks and could not always keep up with the rich, dynamic content found online. -
How to Ensure Your Website is Optimized for Top Speed
1 May 2012 | 12:09 pmWebsites that load at a snail’s pace are the worst. The Internet is supposed to be instant and should exceed or at least keep up with our fast-paces lives! So it should come as no surprise search engine spiders that crawl websites also hate to be kept waiting and frown upon sites that take a long time to load. Because both human visitors and search crawlers absolutely hate slow websites, any delay in the loading of your page could result in a reduction of traffic and revenue; something every Webmaster wants to avoid. -
Tips Every Webmaster Should Keep in Mind to Improve On-Page SEO
1 May 2012 | 12:09 pmIt is common knowledge among Webmasters and Marketers that search engine optimization (SEO) is the backbone of a website or blog and has a lot to do with its success or failure online. Unless your online marketing campaign includes leveraging pay per click advertising or traditional marketing (TV, radio or print), more than likely no one will know you’ve created a new website—this is particularly true when you consider how many billions of pages search engine spiders have to crawl and index!

This goes all the way back to the early days of HostGator, when none other than crunk rapper Lil Jon offered to introduce Brent to some ladies at his show in Florida, in appreciation for Brent having personally assisted him with some technical issues. Another random caller once offered to send Brent some weed, via the US Postal Service for the same reason. For the record, both of these offers were respectfully declined.

CISPA Must Die!
6 May 2012 | 7:50 pmWe’ve been having a lot of fun with our blog lately, and we promise to continue to do so. However, we need to address some serious business once again. Back in December, we posted about SOPA. That beast has changed forms, returned and is now attacking more forcefully. CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, aka H.R. 3523) was passed by the United Stated House of Representatives on April 26th, by a vote of 248 to 168. Ostensibly, CISPA exists to “help the U.S Government investigate cyber threats and ensure the security of networks against cyber… -

Our Houston buildings are only a short distance apart, in fact you can see each from the other. The geography makes it convenient to dispatch teams from one building to the other, as needed. Though we’ve been executing practice drills of this nature for many years, some of us veterans had grown complacent, thinking there would never be any true need to exercise our finely-honed emergency-response skills. As explained in the… -
Earth, Trees and Toilet Paper
23 Apr 2012 | 3:12 amToilet paper is serious business. It’s genuinely a severely overlooked and under-appreciated medium of information distribution; believe that! Fortunately, http://www.getshitter.com can assist in elevating toilet paper to a more appropriate level of respect, by taking your twitter feed and turning it into toilet paper. What you subsequently do with said toilet paper would then be completely up to you. As we all learned from the classic Pauly Shore cinematic masterpiece Bio-Dome, the most effective means of instituting change, or raising awareness, is to think globally and act locally. -

What is Drupal Hosting?
9 May 2012 | 10:12 amWhen it comes to making your web presence successful, having excellent content is the single most important criteria.

Three Ways Drupal Hosting Can Save You Money
1 May 2012 | 11:17 amWith web development and website management technology evolving so rapidly, it is easy to forget that only a little over a decade ago, content management systems like Drupal hosting were non-existent. Adding a new page of content to your web presence once meant writing raw HTML code or using an HTML editor like Dreamweaver before uploading each page and updating your existing navigation menu. Thankfully, content management systems (CMS) have largely automated the way that webmasters work with content. Services such as Drupal hosting make it possible for you to add new content from a… -

Hosted Exchange Will Make You Thinner
15 May 2012 | 9:00 amOK, so hosted Exchange won’t really make you thinner. That’s obviously false. But it is just one of many myths and misconceptions out there about hosted Exchange. Here are a few that we hear most often: Only big companies use Exchange. Actually, many Exchange users are SMBs that tap Exchange from the cloud to avoid heavy infrastructure investments and ongoing maintenance costs. We don’t have the budget for Exchange. To stand up a full Exchange deployment onsite is an expensive and challenging proposition. With hosted Exchange, businesses can take that huge CAPEX and turn it into… -

Before we know it the whole day has been wasted! It is time to STOP the madness. Rank Your Social Media Properties The first thing you need to do is toss out the concept that marketing “experts” continue to pound into your head: the idea that you MUST engage your customer on every network.

Simply Ask – Increase Your Sales Now!
10 Apr 2012 | 11:36 amIt is hard to admit this: I wasn’t always a rock star salesman. Once upon a time, I was simply good. While simply good will give you a solid income with most companies, rock star status is always the ultimate goal. While most “experts” will try to sell you their dubious sales secrets, I’ll just tell it like it is. The key to being a rock star salesperson is to simply ask. Hearing “yes” once for every ten “no’s” can be discouraging. Often, a salesperson will stop asking, assuming the “no” is coming from the start. We assume we know… -

When the Journey is the Reward

We are told that this is the most important element of a successful business venture. If we find the need before anyone else, and meet it better than anyone else, we will succeed. While this may be true in theory, running a business is much more than demographics. It takes a whole world of commitment. It’s a lifestyle. So many of…
