The growing list of projects

Well it’s definitely been some time since I last put anything in the projects section. There’s no doubt that there have been a lot of different projects on the go. Some have come and died while others haven’t even really started. I’ll take the time to list a few of them here and provide some updates, reasons and direction.

Doing something is better than doing nothing

I’ve had numerous ideas for a long time about different ways to make some money. Some would say that it is actually annoying that I look to monetize almost every thing in life that I can. I won’t lie, I think it’s annoying too. My quest for money comes from reading things like Rich Dad, Poor Dad – which I actually found tucked in a seat pocket on an airplane. From there I kept buying more and more Robert Kiyosaki books to read, which for me was a revelation since I generally don’t like to read. That was about 6 years ago. Now I find myself doing a lot of reading online.

The Last Original Idea provokes the inner cynic

There’s a saying “you can’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve been.” This line has stuck with me since I had to debate it in my grade nine English class. At the time I believed there was no truth in the statement. In fact I argued against it. Had I had the chance to read The Last Original Idea at that point in time, there would have been no way I would go against it.

Sometimes the best SEO is executing the fundamentals

It doesn’t surprise me when people want to increase their organic page rankings through the use of search engine optimization. It makes sense. It’s effectively free traffic to your website. What does often amaze me is when there are plenty of talented IT and development individuals behind a website and they neglect, or simply forget, to execute on the fundamentals of SEO.

Q&A: Ruud Hein on Ruud Questions

A while back I had a thought to post some interviews on my blog so that I could begin to reach more people and it also gave me something to write about. When the idea came to mind I put a request out to people and got an answer back from Alysson Fergison on her thoughts. She figured I should interview Ruud Hein of Ruud Questions since he himself interviews many SEO industry experts but few people ever interview him. I sent him a quick note and happily got a reply. Enjoy the first entry of Q & A.

SEO Bootcamp with Bruce Clay

This post is so past due it’s not even funny. It’s been just a few weeks since having had the chance to attend Search Engine Land‘s SMX Advanced in Seattle and it was awesome. Not only did I finally get to put real people and faces to their names like getting to chat with Danny Sullivan and of course Rae Hoffman who was great at being friendly and introducing me to others. Thanks for that. Honestly there were so many if I wrote them all it’d probably just look like link bait…so I won’t. It was my first SMX and I must say, I’ll be back. I’m hooked.

Developing a WordPress site like a CMS

Constructing a WordPress site like a CMS can need some heavy lifting
While I was in the process of developing my custom theme for this site, I was also trying to think of functionality. Not just functionality ensuring that your life as a reader was easier, but also making my life as easy as possible too. In the past I have developed a few custom WordPress themes for non-profit events and fund raisers and implemented them as a complete CMS solution.

Personal Projects

jQuery functionThe projects section will slowly build up as I begin to showcase a number of projects and ventures that I’m embarking on. Everything from a unique dining review and ordering website to a completely new spin on online travel reviews & insider tricks. Of course based on day-to-day priorities some of them are taking much longer than I had initially hoped. I am happy to say that Fab4Less – an online site dedicated to deals and fashion finds is almost complete and should be completely live in the next few days…but it’s not my website, so that should help it actually launch on time.
