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. You can spend either your time bringing your marketing plan to life or pay someone to do it. Dedicating the time to spend on your marketing plan is one of the hardest things you can do as a business owner. Most people, including me, want to [...]

WordPress Gutenberg Editor: What You Need To Know And What You Can Do About It

By |2019-01-04T23:00:59+00:00January 4th, 2019|I Heart Blank News, WWW News|Comments Off on WordPress Gutenberg Editor: What You Need To Know And What You Can Do About It

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.  Change can sometimes be hard, so I thought I'd put together some explanation of what's going on as well as some troubleshooting solutions to the new Gutenberg Editor. 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 [...]

WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” Released

By |2018-12-07T16:17:06+00:00December 7th, 2018|WWW News|Comments Off on WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” Released

Great news everyone!  Wordpress 5.0 "Bebo" was released yesterday!  The biggest change this is bringing to WordPress is the new editor!  In the past, I would describe the WordPress WYSIWYG editor as basically MS Word '97 (probably the last time I used MS Word.) The new 'block editor' is is going to make creating content in Wordpress way easier.  Although there are plenty of plugins that have a 'visual composer', this block editor will be similar to how some of the 'other' website builders work (eg - Squarespace, wix, etc.).  Here's a quick video: Here's a blurb from WordPress's [...]

What Is Net Neutrality & Why You Should Fight For It!

By |2017-11-28T22:21:07+00:00November 22nd, 2017|I Heart Blank News, WWW News|Comments Off on What Is Net Neutrality & Why You Should Fight For It!

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 [...]
