My response to “The Content Conundrum”: We forgot the SEO!

June 17, 2013 by Joyce Grace

Recently I read an article titled “The Content Conundrum” by Christopher Detzi on boxesandarrows.com and it was awesome. I loved it, and I shared it. This article is NOT an argument against Christopher’s point. He made a very good one. I just think he forgot something, but I think he’d probably agree with with what I’m […]

Hey, what happened to the article that was here?!

June 11, 2013 by Joyce Grace

I know right? Well you see, this was an article on WordPress vs Adobe Business Catalyst and, thanks to the input of some Adobe BC developers, it was found that there were many edits needed. I am leaving the comments intact on this post so that those who took the time to send over their […]

WooCommerce vs Shopp: what’s the difference between these WordPress e-commerce systems?

April 16, 2013 by Joyce Grace

WooCommerce price filter

So I’ve compiled a bunch of answers to questions I’ve been getting about WooCommerce vs Shopp. This article is long, but hopefully it will help answer questions many have about the differences between WooCommerce and Shopp. Feel free to ask more in the comments section and I’ll try to add to this article as time […]

WordPress security – it’s the least you can do, don’t be irresponsible about it

April 16, 2013 by Joyce Grace

In light of recent events described on the BBC here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22152296 and explained in more detail (with more resources) here: http://ithemes.com/2013/04/15/ongoing-wordpress-attacks-details-and-solutions/   I thought I’d let everyone know a few basic things about WordPress security, as I have mentioned to my own clients several times in the past:   1) If you do not have a WordPress backup system […]

Why is using “admin” for your WordPress login bad?

April 16, 2013 by Joyce Grace

In light of the recent WordPress mass-scale hack by a giant botnet, I had a question from someone recently wondering about the username “admin.” I thought it would be very useful to many to explain why you DON’T want to use “admin” as your username, ever, in WordPress.   The problem with the username “admin” […]

What my dentist can teach us about trusting a Web developer and Internet marketer to do their job

April 6, 2013 by Joyce Grace

So, I was at the dentist this week, and I found it interesting how there were parallels of communication in my own business as a Web developer in Vancouver. My dentist is hilarious, and fun to work with by the way (this is my plug for him since he inspired me to write this blog […]

Good Web sites require we stop treating the Internet like it’s a TV or a piece of paper because, after all, “the medium is the message”

March 25, 2013 by Joyce Grace

My bachelor studies started out with a phrase that all Communication students had to know: “The medium is the message.” Thanks McLuhan. If you look up the Wikipedia entry for that, you’ll get this very philosophical, full of jargon write up that I don’t even want to try to decipher. But I will just explain […]

The ROI on blogging – read this and you might just drop your Adwords spending

February 15, 2013 by Joyce Grace

Recently I was speaking to a good friend of mine, Joe Putnam, who does blogging for major online brands in the online marketing world, and I got to learn a lot about why people pay him so much to write articles for them.  I knew about this before, but blogging can be a great way […]

February 15, 2013 by Joyce Grace

As an Internet marketer in Vancouver trying to help my clients gain exposure on the web, I am often surprised by the responses I get when I try to set up guest blogging opportunities for my clients by contacting other blog owners. I usually get one of these responses: A) I get no response (could […]

Learning the Basics of the WordPress web development trade at WordCamp Seattle

January 21, 2013 by Joyce Grace

Although I’m a Vancouver WordPress developer, I went to this year’s WordCamp Seattle, where we learned great tips for starting out with WordPress web development. Lucy Beer was the presenter on this topic and she did a great job of pointing out things every web site developer should know, and especially if you are planning […]
