…and only you have the power to bring a brighter dawn! Ok, that’s a little dramatic, and yes, it even rhymes. You might even call it a great example of bad writing, which is precisely why it’s a perfect way to direct your attention to the Dark And Stormy Night Finalists in need of your…
Read MoreArticle-Based Web Sites and the Future of Print Media Companies
I remember when I first started using the web in the early 90’s. Web sites were quite ugly with blinking text, slapped together images, and unstyled text.

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching, and I don’t have a gift yet! Everywhere I looked this morning, I saw signs and ads for flowers, bath salts, and cards.
