It’s been a long week in Dublin so I’m going to cheat and tell you about a cool tool that I haven’t used – pbwiki: http://pbwiki.com A wiki is a web site that anyone can edit.

Recreating an Existing Site for Better Ranking
Excaliburprima does event planning and conference management in Dublin, Ireland. They had a site that they liked but it wasn’t doing well with the search engines.

Setting Up an Online Shop
I had an email this week from someone who was considering an online shop. They wondered if they could do it themselves. So I wrote up two routes to take. I thought some of the Byte readers might be interested too. Open a Yahoo Store You don’t have to know html. You set up your … Continue reading
Britz Equipment Launches
Today we launched the new and improved Britz Store Equipment web site. Britz sells commercial equipment, such as work tables, sinks, and walk-in coolers to grocery stores, restaurants, delis, and shops like that. They have a good looking site.
