No Byte Today
I am in Dublin. We relocated on Monday/Tuesday. My Internet access is going to be shaky for 5-10 days so I’m afraid today’s Byte is really just a quick Irish lesson. We are living in Dublin until June. My husband is starting a PhD program. He’s from Dublin and there’s no tuition for him here. … Continue reading

Submitting to Search Engines
All week I have been doing training in New Ulm Minnesota. In the class many people have created their own web sites using a tool called Web Site Tonight (https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/hosting_build_website.asp).

Blog Links are Great
I’m the kind of loser who checks my own name in Google every 6 months or so. I get paid to make sure other people come to the top of the list when they search for their (company) names – but I don’t consciously do much to promote my own name. Because I have been … Continue reading
