We’re busy with projects, which is why I haven’t posted here in a while but that doesn’t mean we can’t handle more work. We have room!People are taking our advice about getting their websites ready for this year. They’re cutting down their Yellow Pages advertising and investing it into their websites. Very smart.A new website won’t start a flood of sales in the next day but it’s an amazing long term investment. Within a year, you should easily get your return on investment.

It’s like you can’t even use a safe web browser nowadays!
Germany and France have issued warnings to stop using Internet Explorer because of a major security hole. This hole had something to do with the recent attacks on Google in China.

Update Your Website
I was thinking this morning about some people that have websites and all they may want to do to them is just change their copyright date at the bottom from 2009 to 2010 so that their website looks current. Yeah, you should do that but that’s not nearly enough. Make it a resolution this year to update your site monthly or weekly. As I’ve been explaining, that’s a great use for a blog.
