		<description><![CDATA[Not all web hosting is created equal.  There&#8217;s good; then there&#8217;s the bad.  There&#8217;s really expensive and there&#8217;s really cheap hosting.  Sometimes, the cheap hosting is actually even better than the expensive hosting.  Sound intimidating?  Well, understanding hosting is not always best left to those just getting started with a website. Anyway, there are essentially several distinct types of hosting: Dedicated hosting – you lease an entire server, but you also have to setup all of the software and settings.  Best left to the biggest sites with their own IT staff in house. VPS hosting – virtual private server (VPS) hosting is generally a lot like dedicated &#8211; it&#8217;s confusing and complex to setup for the amateur, but you&#8217;re getting a guaranteed slice of server resources for your money. Cloud hosting – your website is replicated and hosted across a variety of different geo-located servers so it is ideally pulled from the server nearest your visitor when they hit your site. Grid/Cluster hosting – kind of like cloud hosting, but the intention is to spread out a website over numerous servers for redundancy if lots of traffic were to spike at the site. Shared hosting – usually the cheapest option [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Registering a domain name is pretty easy.  It&#8217;s just a matter of hopping over to the website of one of the popular domain registration services, entering the domain name you want, and if it&#8217;s available, proceeding to checkout a cart just like you would with any online purchase.  But as simple as this all appears to be at face value, there are a lot of ins and outs that most folks don&#8217;t know about or don&#8217;t think about when it comes to purchasing a domain name. Do you know how to setup your domain forwarding? Say you&#8217;ve just bought a domain name, but now what&#8230;is it ready to setup with your website?  In the meantime, do you just want it to forward?  Unless you want your domain to display a bunch of ads for free, it&#8217;s important to set it up the way you intend it to be used. Are you familiar with setting up the DNS settings for the domain? When you sign up for a domain name, you&#8217;ll manage the major DNS settings via that account&#8217;s control panel at the domain registrar.  Basically, DNS settings are the IP addresses and other important things that connect the domain name [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a good question and one that many well-intended webmasters do battle with on a regular basis &#8211; is the web design or the web content on a website the most important? Well, let&#8217;s take a shot here and do a little bit of battle with the question here ourselves.  Ready?  Okay, here goes. At first look, the web content itself is the most important.  After all, this is what visitors come to the site for, right?  They come to read, view, or experience the content itself.  And the content is also what helps draw attention and clicks from the search engines&#8230;with no content on a site, there would be nothing to search and nothing for the search engines to offer to their visitors/customers. So it&#8217;s clear that content is king, all other things being equal.  Say for instance, you have a plain white website &#8211; with no imagery whatsoever.  It&#8217;s just a blank canvas with only your page title, on page written content, and a couple of navigation links all there in plain old black and white. In this case, does the content still work?  Does the website still work?  Can visitors still get something out of the site?  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Web design has changed a lot over the last couple of years &#8211; just a very short time ago, it was still all of the &#8220;bubbles and betas&#8221; of the web 2.0 craze.  Now, we&#8217;ve gone through a trend of minimalism when it comes to design on websites.  And this year, the biggest thing is going to be responsive design.  It already is for that matter&#8230;everybody&#8217;s doing it. What Is Responsive Web Design? Simply put, responsive web design is using design and programming techniques that automatically scale and shift the elements on a web page to perfectly fit the specific size of the device&#8217;s screen it is being used on.  And in an era where it&#8217;s not uncommon for folks to use a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, and a mobile device all throughout the course of the same hour, responsive design aims to keep all of these viewers happy when they hit your website. What Are The Benefits Of Responsive Web Design? First and foremost, the newly popular design technique helps present your content in a clear and very legible way to all possible viewers.  Previously, the thought was to design for the largest segment of viewers and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people spin their wheels incessantly &#8211; they try so hard to start a small business and make it work.  A+ for effort and 80 hour weeks don&#8217;t always get the job done though, especially if any of the 3 principles of real business growth &#8211; good product, sound marketing, and great service &#8211; are out of balance. The Good Product Factor It happens all the time &#8211; people come up with an idea for a product or service, and even when it&#8217;s a great one, it&#8217;s also an impossible one.  How so? Well, you&#8217;ve got to have a product that&#8217;s in demand and one that you can actually have decent margins on.  All too often, the product is something that&#8217;s like a commodity&#8230;in other words, the idea is for a new clothing design or cooking gadget or the likes.  But the problem is, if you&#8217;re going for traditional retail, you&#8217;re going to lose so much of the markup as the product makes its way through the sales chain to the end customer. And enter competition&#8230;the equation gets really bleak really fast.  Low margins only work when you can move massive quantities &#8211; and let&#8217;s face it&#8230;most small businesses don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SEO &#8211; search engine optimization &#8211; is an ever-changing field of practice.  In today&#8217;s web environment, it is more difficult than ever to &#8220;game&#8221; the system when it comes to SEO.  In other words, playing by the rules always has been and still remains the only way to play the game. But even so, really optimizing a website for the search engines is really quite complex.  It&#8217;s complex because the algorithms and methods used by the search engines have become so smart and so rapid in their change that it&#8217;s really difficult for the Average Joe to keep up with how to participate.  Professional SEO experts are even finding the world of search to be more unpredictable and complex (although the new opportunities and the more all-in-one integrated search engine environment we&#8217;re seeing in 2012 are also more compelling and exciting than ever before). So search continues to evolve, that&#8217;s for sure.  With this in mind, here are a few important things that you should know when it comes to SEO in 2012: Google+ is a must.  Google really wants their social platform to take off and go mainstream.  Because of this, they&#8217;re using Google+ to tie together many of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you a struggling blogger?  Maybe just have ambitions to become a struggling blogger?  Well, good for you either way &#8211; unlike the days of old when everyone was trying to become a &#8220;struggling author,&#8221; the barriers to entry are substantially more reasonable today for the ambitious blogger than they ever were for the would be book author. Anyone can start a blog for zero or just a few bucks and have it be readily accessible to the entire world &#8211; try getting level of instant distribution with the conventional paper media of just 15 years ago. So when things should be much easier today for a struggling blog writer than they ever were for authors of the not so distant past, why do bloggers still fail? Well, most of the time it happens for one of two reasons:  they don&#8217;t take their blog and their writing serious enough, or they take it way too seriously.  Let&#8217;s take a look at both fronts and how you can beat the trend. Beating The &#8220;Not Too Serious&#8221; Failure Point Of Blogging Let&#8217;s face it; most bloggers are really casual about what they do.  They might log in every once in a while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, the problem of the SEO &#8220;scammer&#8221; is still very prevalent.  And we&#8217;re not just talking about the dozens of spam emails that show up in your junk folder every day&#8230;we&#8217;re talking about real people &#38; SEO businesses that appear to be legit who are after nothing more than your hard earned money. The Back Story It wasn&#8217;t all that long ago that the whole concept of SEO (search engine optimization) started to go mainstream with the average Joe.  All of the entrepreneur/small business/large business magazines and trade publications started hyping up SEO as something you&#8217;ve &#8220;got to do right now for your business.&#8221;  And most businesses did indeed need a dramatic makeover when it came to their SEO strategy &#8211; still do for that matter. But at the same time, all of the newfound popularity of the notion of SEO, along with a real lack of understanding of what it meant and how it works by the people who thought they needed it most, well, let&#8217;s just say it all made for a very lucrative niche for those trying to pull a fast one and selling a so-called service where almost nothing at all was done.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever thought about all of the code that goes into a website behind the scenes?  There is way more than meets the eye &#8211; that&#8217;s for sure.  Whether it&#8217;s the HTML or PHP coding that builds the structure of the web pages or the CSS code that defines the rules and settings that make up the style of the site, the fact is, it&#8217;s very important to have clean, well-organized code even though you can&#8217;t see it on the surface.  Here&#8217;s why&#8230; Clean Code Is A Must For SEO It&#8217;s true, code that is cleanly done, well-organized, and error-free tells the search engines that you are serious about your website and that they probably should be as well.  It&#8217;s a marker that distinguishes the pros from the amateurs on the web.  It also helps the search engines understand your pages and figure out how to list them when your code is organized in the correct fashion. Clean Code Makes A Better User Experience You don&#8217;t want to get bogged down with a bunch of errors and programming glitches when you visit a website, do you?  Well truth is, your visitors don&#8217;t want that either when they land on [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t get too hung up on it though, any time is a great time to reaffirm your plans and strategy for the year.  Hit the ground running today and while you&#8217;re at it, be sure to avoid these business mistakes in 2012&#8230; The mistake of micro-planning.  Too often, we plan out so many micro details for our business &#8211; especially when doing goal setting &#38; yearly projections &#8211; that we completely become distracted by the tiny details and not getting things done through working towards the big picture.  Don&#8217;t get caught up in all the tiny details and let paralysis by analysis get the best of you.  Get to work and get something big accomplished instead&#8230;the best way is simply to start now and the results will follow. The mistake of being too controlling.  Run your business&#8230;don&#8217;t let your business run you.  In this regard, sometimes you just have to let go, let trusted partners and outsourcers take care of [...]]]></description>
