Mysterious Theme Switcheroo

Apparently, sometimes Wordpress can kick your ass. Or so it seems. Late last week and Saturday, I put together a new theme for WebbyOnline which (hopefully) you are viewing right now. My reason for the design change is twofold:

The old one was really basic looking

Gnomedex 7.0 - Open Registration

I made mention of Gnomedex in today’s newsletter. This morning the event was password protected for some reason, but I think that’s just because I went to the site a little too early.

What Happened to WebbyOnline.com?

Well, I didn’t waste any time with this one. In yesterday’s newsletter, I said I was thinking of converting this site to a blog format. Well, between then and now, I’ve done the setup and imported most of the pre-existing content. What you’re looking at now is the new WebbyOnline, now powered by Wordpress. I [...]

Appraising a Website

Websites are just like business - they have a monetary value. In fact, this is what makes working online such a great business. It allows you to create value from nothing, and anybody can do it.
