Today, without really telling them yet, I have dumped one of my hosting companies! There's a reason why I work with a number of companies, not just one to be hostage to. Out of the blue, one site got banned. I receive one of this standard e-mails, you site has been suspended ... yipee, but can you tell me why? 3 emails back to support and nothing. I leave it alone ... for like 10 hours, then

Today I start the 'Super Directory Project' Yes there are many directories out there, but this one is different Yes, I've heard that one before. The difference this time is there is a development and advertising team involved in this project. Not only that, SEO skills sets are included as well. More to come

Quite the month - not really much time to blog. have been busy with video marketing campaigns, finishing up a few sites, quoting on projects and tweaking up a few projects.

A little ditty about GoDaddy ... Their service rocks!!! I recently had an issue regarding a reseller account I had with them, billing issue. Went on the phone, waited a bit (but worth it), finally got through, spoke to a LIVE rep, they listened and were able to make adjustments ... no questions, no hassles, plus a nice thank you in the end. Next day they call. Not to sell, but to indicate

I took the plunge last week (I think, I lost track of time) and purchase another notebook ... more power, more gear, new OS. Yes people are ranting about Vista and all it's flaws, but personally after all this time, I think it is great. Turn off the glossy stuff and you're good to go. My biggest concern was the ability to run a PHP/MySQL web server off the machine. No problems there either.
