A Little Humor

This is from veteran comic Norm Crosby….

With the passage of the gay marriage bill in New York, Norm Crosby pointed out that was no big deal. In California, where he lives, anyone can marry anything. In fact, two antennas got married recently. The wedding was nothing special, but the reception was terrific.

It is hard to believe Google can keep coming up with new and useful products, but here’s another you should try…

The search giant just released a service that lets you check out every other service out there. Sounds complicated? It’s actually kind of fun to use; we just reviewed it, pondering the best ways to use it and what the new service accomplishes for Google.

Just put your answer to the question “What do you love?” in the search box and click on the blue button with the white heart. They seem to find every possible way of exploring the subject. Try it out.

If It Ain’t Broke, DO Fix It

Sure, your website has been designed and refined so that it presents your enterprise well. And you’ve optimized it for search engines. Maybe you’ve started blogging, using Facebook and being a social networker. Seemingly, you’ve done all you need to do and you’re getting traffic. So why change anything?

Well, there are a lot of reasons:

  • Search engines like to see change. You may gradually slip down the results lists if you don’t make at least minimal changes to your web pages every few months.
  • An updated design tells your clients you are staying fresh and current.
  • You may be missing out on new technology, functions and features other websites now have.
  • Your competition is changing their sites to better compete with you.

So add new content. Add different photos. Or do a complete redesign. Change need not be on a grand scale; any change is valuable. Periodic review and update of your site can reap big benefits.
