Last week, I clicked on a client’s website and it was completely down. And yes, I panicked a little. Ok, maybe more than a little. 😳 I’d never dealt with that particular problem before, so I started working on it. I checked the site, got into the backend, looked at the hosting, and eventually figured…
School has started, which means it’s practically Halloween. Then we bake the turkey, deck the halls, and it’s Happy New Year! But wait… what happened to summer? I had a list. At this point, it’s probably not all going to get done. But maybe… maybe there’s still time for one or two. Have something on…
I spent a few days at the WordPress WordCamp US last week, surrounded by people who know an astonishing amount about, well, an astonishing amount of very specific things. I came home with pages of notes. There are things I want to try, things I want to learn more about, and more than a few…
Whew! Four days, 19 official keynotes, sessions, fireside chats, and a million conversations later, I’ve been trying to distill my notes into what might be useful beyond the conference.

I really do love working with my clients. One of my favorite parts is thinking through challenges together. Looking at options. Asking questions. Figuring out what makes the most sense before moving forward. I’m incredibly grateful for Linda’s kind words. They made my day. [See how you might Work with Us.]
Last week, I noticed that not every productive week looks “productive.” There weren’t any big client wins or dramatic technology problems to solve. Mostly, I was getting ready for WordCamp US – making decisions, finishing loose ends, and trying to be intentional about how I want to spend my time there. It felt… ordinary. But…
