New Hosting And New Rates

By |2017-08-14T21:40:30+00:00November 24th, 2014|I Heart Blank News|Comments Off on New Hosting And New Rates

Hey Guys!  Alright, let's just get it out of the way....hosting rates will be going up.  We've upgraded and have far superior hosting and cannot afford to keep our rates.  Don't get too upset yet, because there is a silver lining.  Keep reading or jump down to 'What Does This Mean For You.'  In my best efforts I've tried to think of everything to make this as easy and painless as possible. There are also a number of you out there who have 'custom / speciality' hosting packages out there.  I will be contacting you in the upcoming weeks [...]

Apple Launched Apple Maps Connect

By |2017-08-14T21:34:51+00:00November 21st, 2014|WWW News|Comments Off on Apple Launched Apple Maps Connect

I've been a little slow with stuff lately, but I thought this one was important.  In late October, Apple launched Apple Maps Connect which is a business listing service.  Apple currently uses Yelp in conjunction with their Maps App.  By the looks of it, they might be trying to use their own proprietary business listing. I set up my account and it looks like it does actually take some information from Yelp to 'fill in the blanks.' If you're interested in Google Maps Connect and need help setting it up, feel free to contact us!

Wordpress just released it's latest version 4.0 titled "Benny" after Benny Goodman.  Check out some of the new features below (via Wordpress Blog.)  I've had a quick chance to run through it as I was writing this post and it seems like they made even more changes to help make publishing posts and page more quickly. Version 4.0 of WordPress, named “Benny” in honor of jazz clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman, is available for download or update in your WordPress dashboard. While 4.0 is just another number for us after 3.9 and before 4.1, we feel we’ve put a little extra polish into it.
