Verizon FIOS Review

As anybody in this business will attest to, fast internet connections are a requirement of doing work. There were the days when I ran this business over a dial-up connection. It wasn’t by choice either. One move I made when I was younger ended up with me on dial-up AFTER having had Roadrunner. Trust me, [...]

Synch vBulletin Mailing List with 1-2-All

OK, every now and then I post something technical on this site, and this is one of those posts. The problem? You have a mailing list of forum members which reside in the vBulletin database. You use 1-2-All, from ActiveCampaign, to manage your email lists. vBulletin’s email system sucks in comparison because it is dirt [...]

Blog Comment Spam - A Sign of Popularity?

As my blog sites get more notice, I inevitably get more user comments. WebbyOnline itself has been getting more notice these days, and the last couple of posts have gotten more user comments than I used to get by a long shot. This is obviously good, and any blogger will tell you that it is [...]

Hard Drive Failure, Vista, and My Middle Finger

Sometimes living as an internet entreprenuer means you get bit in the ass by your own computer. That’s what happened to me yesterday and is the reason I was off the radar all day yesterday. It all started with my getting out of bed and my wife telling me that the power went out [...]

Finding a Virtual Assistant

I have been spending time here and there over the last week attending to a very important action for my business: hiring a virtual assistant. Now, let me say ahead of time that I have not yet signed a contract with the person I am going to try out, however I should be doing that [...]

What is Google PageRank?

This would make a good article topic, right? But, I’ll be honest, how could I possibly compete with the explanation of Google Pagerank I just ran across over at Smashing Magazine? This has got to be one of the most thorough write-ups I’ve ever seen on the topic.
I had to pass it on. Check it [...]
