Collabofit just announced that they added 10 new activities you can track in your quest to get more fit. The really interesting new statistic you can track is how long you play video games — this is more and more turning into a serious fitness activity with consoles like the Nintendo Wii encouraging gamers to get up and move when they’re playing.

admin — Fri, 20 Feb 2004 05:39:42 +0000

We’re rolling out HIPAAClicks.com with a soft launch, gradually adding more features. HIPPAClicks is a custom designed and coded HIPAA information portal that updates automatically 24 hours a day to display the latest news about HIPAA in one location. The site includes Google Adsense advertising and is designed to appeal to a highly-targeted audience interested in HIPAA compliance issues. In addition, it is built with a minimal number of graphics, intending to load as quickly as possible.

Technical Details:
The site is coded in PHP and includes the following:

Extensive use of PEAR XML_RSS package
Blogrolling.com is used to manage external site links
Google Adsense targeted text advertising to generate revenue
Links to the Amazon.com search results for HIPAA-related books

We’re planning on adding:

Suggest a link form
Other revenue-generating advertising as appropriate
Additional HIPAA-related content links

Securanix website redesign launched

admin — Tue, 27 Jan 2004 08:17:58 +0000

The new website for Securanix Network Security Specialists is now live. It includes an updated look and feel, more accessible navigation and quicker loading times. In addition, links are now included on every page to translate into another language. The site validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

For this project we’re also using the PEAR XML_RSS module to display the CERT Incident Notes and Advisories on the homepage. This will automate the process of displaying security headlines on the site.

Part of the goal of the redesign was to improve the professional image of Securanix, and we feel that we succeeded in this area as well.

NaomiWrites.com updated with new layout and Gallery

admin — Wed, 24 Dec 2003 07:22:27 +0000

Just finished updating NaomiWrites.com with a new layout and the addition of a picture gallery. Using Open Source software called Gallery to handle image management. It is still pretty tricky to incorporate Gallery into a site without a lot of tweaking of header and footer files, but it is a nice and powerful system. You can view a slideshow, automatically order prints of your images and create as many albums as you want. Also it uses ImageMagick to resize images so you can upload a large image and it will create a thumbnail for you. Very nice…

We’re also using WordPress for the blogging software.

SEO – Updated Keywords for NoraLarimer.com

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2003 18:35:59 +0000

Today we finished updating NoraLarimer.com with updated keywords to help improve search engine placement.

Nora is a longtime client, and when the site was originally built we placed an emphasis on clean design and letting her paintings stand on their own. Since then, we’ve added many paintings to the site, her recent work using watercolor tiles and implemented a Paypal shopping cart throughout the site.

Nora wanted to improve her search engine listings — a lot of the new content we’ve added to the site, like giclee prints weren’t part of her original content.

Nora’s current Google results include #1 for her name – Nora Larimer and #7 for watercolorist.

Our current efforts are focused on improving her results for terms including giclee, watercolor tile, watercolor originals and others. These are fairly competitive search terms, so we are not necessarily expecting #1 positions for each. But we should see improvements for each term now that we’ve added them to the site.

Do you come up where you want to in search engines like Google?
Post your site in the comments and we’ll take a look.
