Project Summary
In my ongoing relationship with Klingberg Family Centers, another opportunity for a "daughter" site arose. The Traumatic Stress Institute is a division of Klingberg Family Centers. Offering training events and resources for organizations around teh country, they needed a site to feature resources, training events, and news.
A WordPress installation was the best option, as many of the staff working on this site also edit content for the Klingberg Auto Show. Sticking with Wordpress would not only minimize the learning curve, but would also be the perfect ...

I’m never sure if everyone knows about this: Google will let you hook into GMail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and more for free (if your a small shop like mine). When I first heard the news, I was completely underwhelmed. Why would I need this stuff when my hosting provider adds email to every account? Let me explain…

I thought long and hard about writing this piece. Would it benefit anyone if I slimed another company? No. Could it potentially save some people a few headaches? Maybe, but unlikely.
In the end, I opted to write this piece because I want my customers to know what I consider good business practices to be. I wanted my potential customers to know what I am paying attention to. And just in case someone google and finds…
