I gave a speech to the local Business Improvement District in Hackettstown titled, "Marketing and Your Online Presence." I thought I'd share my talk in a few parts to everyone! Take a look at Part 1 and Part 2! Campaigns / Promotions Your advertising, marketing campaign and/or promotion is really the sales force of your business.

I gave a speech to the local Business Improvement District in Hackettstown titled, "Marketing and Your Online Presence." I thought I'd share my talk in a few parts to everyone! Take a look and stand by for Part 2! Introduction With most things in life, everything comes down to either time or money.

I've had a few people ask me about the new Gutenberg Editor in Wordpress 5.0. Some people, including me, are a little skeptical and some people are diving right in.

What is the deal with Gutenberg?! (in your best Seinfeld voice) Wordpress introduced the “Gutenberg” editor on the last release Wordpress 5.0 'Bebo'. You can read my post about it (a quick overview) or check out the new features on Wordpress' Blog (a [...]

There will be a vote on December 14, 2017 in which the FCC will attempt to kill net neutrality. A lot of people seem to be against it, but don't know what's really going on. I thought I'd put together a post to help explain what's going on and what you can do. What Is Net Neutrality? Net Neutrality, on it's own, is pretty basic. It simply means that information across the internet (websites, streaming, downloads, etc.) are all 'equal.' It doesn't discriminate. You can stream movies just as fast as you can download something. All websites, streaming and [...]

By Tom DuHamel|2018-03-19T14:36:21+00:00November 10th, 2017|Business, I Heart Blank News|Comments Off on Tips For Secure Website Passwords

Often times when creating or entering a new password, Wordpress will determine that they are ‘too weak’ to allow. It can seem random even if you think your password is pretty secure.

Make sure you're are using secure, strong passwords. I've also come across some passwords that seem strong, but are considered ‘weak’ by the algorithm WordPress uses. There are a few reasons for this. Wordpress is using Dropbox’s zxcvbn library to [...]

Check out the details below: 2018 Maintenance Plan Rates The Maintenance plans are designed to give your business a little help throughout the year at a discounted rate.
