Email Is A Necessary Evil
I honestly don’t know what I would do without email. It’s definitely a love hate relationship. Every time I try to use a project management system, it seems so much easier to send an email for what needs to be done. Though if the email isn’t done right, it’s worse than using a confusing project…

Mental Health and Entrepreneurship
I’m a very positive person. I don’t often feel depressed. I’m a “the glass is half full” kind of guy. But more and more I’m hearing about how depression and mental health is becoming a big topic not only in my entrepreneur circles, but in business as a whole. This is a good thing. Having…

Jordan Paris and School
So there is a guy on LinkedIn who announced he is giving a TEDx talk on why he thinks formal education and college is a waste of time and a scam. A pretty provocative stance if you ask me. Jordan Paris likes to position himself as a visionary of how to go about doing business…

Teaching Your Clients “How To Fish”
Teaching your clients how to fish after you build them a website is very important. They might still turn to you to do most updates, but they should have a sense of what goes into updating and keeping their site functional. With WordPress there is no reason why the client can’t have some type of…

Bucks County’s Startup Scene – It Exists
Having grown up in the Bucks County and Philadelphia metro area my whole life, I’ve noticed something. Philly likes to tout how startup friendly it is. But ignores the counties surrounding it. Bucks County has a really blossoming startup and technology scene that has been growing silently for years. Finally a bunch of us have…

WordCamp Lehigh Valley PA 2019
I’ve been coming to WordCamp Lehigh Valley since it started (I think about 4 years ago). It’s a great WordCamp that isn’t in a major metro area. The topics are great and range from User Experience to getting used to the Gutenberg editor to how to manage multiple WordPress sites. The great thing about WordCamps…

WordCamp US 2018
Going to WordCamps (conferences that are focused on the WordPress CMS) is always a lot of fun. When the national WordCamp (WordCamp US) comes around every December it’s gives one a sense of how fantastic this community is. Last year and this year #WCUS (as it’s affectionately known) is in Nashville Tennessee. I wasn’t able…

Thoughts On The Massacre In Pittsburgh
What happened to Pittsburgh this terrible, horrendous and unconscionable. It happened in a synagogue, but could happen anywhere and has happened in other places of worship and places of education. Two days after what happened in Pittsburgh, I’m still trying to deal with the fact that something like this could happen in this day in…

WordCamp Philly 2018 Recap
I love me a good WordCamp. WordCamp Philly 2018 is in the bag. This year I didn’t volunteer to take photos. Instead I was just an attendee. I felt I needed a year to take in everything WordCamp had to offer. One of which was actually sitting through sessions and learning as much as possible.…
