search engine optimization meeting
I am working with Darlene Juliana who owns the Blue Ridge Manor Bed and Breakfast in Cana Virginia. We are going over some search engine strategies and she has fed me a delicious grilled cheese and roasted red pepper sammich with my favorite soup–New England Clam Chowder!
She has created many inbound links from various regional sources. Our main goal now is to get her blogging, facebooking and tweeting often.
Tune in for more later….and come to Cana and stay with Darlene at Blue Ridge Manor BnB. It’s in the country but only a few miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and just a few from Mount Airy NC.
long time no see
I know, I know…it’s been a while. My laptop crashed on me late last week. Finally got it booted back up and it is still running. Got all my programs reloaded on my new laptop, backups of all my files made…and now I am back working trying to play catch up. Got some great new websites I am working on… http://wholesoulpsychic.com, http://withoutperfume.com, http://alpacabedding.com, http://pacabella.com, http://trinklemansion.com, http://houstonfestgalax.com –just to name a few. Not even created graphics yet!! Eeek. They were all due yesterday!! Plus the HOST brochure still looms. I did get some rack cards finished today, some ads, and some other smaller projects that were taking up space in my head. So tomorrow, it’s focus on graphics and creating the templates for these new WordPress site. I do have help with the Houston Fest project. Eddie Day, a guitar picker who was a friend of Houston’s is volunteering to do the graphics on the website. That will be awesome. SO many people have turned out to volunteer to get Houston Fest going. He sure was a well loved and highly regarded 18 year old young man.
do blondes have more fun?
Well I am sitting here with tin foil in my hair, head stuck under a steam helmet. Do I take care of my hair so I appear more put together and business-like? Do I wait for two hours for such beauty treatment for professional image-or is it to catch the eye of the male of my species? Lol. Well maybe both. In the context of this post I am polishing my professional image as well as recommending another business. The girls at Raffles in Mayberry Mall in Mount Airy are awesome. Drop in and spruce up your own image!
On the flip side, I’ve been brunette for far too long and decided to go blonde again. Not getting my mani/pedi today. Going to wait till next week for that. I highly recommend the nail place beside of Raffles. Those guys are awesome.
Ok well time to go. This morning I practically finished http://terriajudge.com. Also worked on a menu for a new restaurant coming into Galax. Also did some more work on the Blue Ridge Host brochure. It’s almost finished! Speaking of the Real Estate Website development project for Terria, I am even more super pleased with WordPress. Developers have created Real Estate plugins..on Terria’s page, I have added in a whole section with mortgage calculators, interest rate reports and more, plus I have added in a plugin that manages her listings. It has specific areas to list the price, mls, bedroom and bathroom counts, acreage, address and I can even plugin a google map to map the address. WordPress is so easy to use, and still its value runs so deep. It seems for any business, there are plugins that help increase the usability of the website. And even with customizing graphics and adding in content, I can put together a website so much faster than when I used to hand code my own, that I can charge much less for my services than I used to. A site like http://terriajudge.com used to bill for about $1200, now I only charge $600. So if you need a real estate website, or a website for whatever business you’re in, I know we can create the perfect site for you. Give me a call!
UPDATE July 29
In other news, I took some self portraits of my hair. I know you were just itching to find out what it looked like! LOL.
training night!
Just got through designing an awesome WordPress layout for Vicky and Stephen who are moving here from Kansas!! Don’t have it up yet because the domain has not propigated, but tomorrow, check out Haven Farm.
OMG y’all
Oh my, I am on cloud nine right now. About 2 weeks ago, I decided I would just forget about trying to find a boyfriend and just focus on my work. I think I hit a eureka moment….redesigning my own website. Finding all kinds of cool plugins to incorporate facebook, twitter, and my pics from facebook…social networking, photos and blogs oh my! Anyway, I haven’t been this excited since I had Lacy…course I was more scared and in pain then…okay haven’t been this excited since I lost my first tooth in kindergarten and thought the tooth fairy would bring me riches beyond belief!
