Post a Week 2011: Blogging year in review
This year, I participated in WordPress.com’s Post a Week Challenge. Well, how’d I do? I was using Joost de Valk‘s Blog Metrics plugin, but that only tells you how you’re doing overall and how you’ve done in the last 30 days and, while I could have logged how many posts there were on January 1…

A note on details…
A couple of years ago I found a book, The Illuminati by Larry Burkett. I picked it up at a garage sale or a library book sale or maybe it was just lying out on the street. It’s worn, heavily water-damaged, somewhat mildew-y and I thought that I would read it, you know, eventually. I grabbed…

Grandpa
One of the things that has been occupying my time the last couple weeks was my grandfather’s funeral, which was last Tuesday. We drove out to California, visited family and got preparations ready, had a rosary (I’m a recovering Catholic) and then the funeral the next day. I wrote a thing for the funeral, and…

musings on effective branding
i passed by a billboard this morning on the way to whole foods that said something about build your brand and it made me think about effective branding and what that really means. “branding” is the new buzz-term in internet marketing lingo. it applies just as much to your corporate identity as it does to…

i’m not going to publish the link yet until the client officially approves the site, but my first website for heritage is done. i was able to do most of it over the weekend and on my half day friday, overall spending maybe 8-10 hours working on it total. i was happy to find out…

some counters and new page in the story thingie
i added a hit counter on the side bar. i could host that myself, and i used to, but it tracked all page hits even from within the site and made some huge ridiculous number. this one is externally hosted and does only unique hits. i don’t really care and there’s probably a better way…
