I wrote a book. Now that’s either really smart or a big waste of time. I guess if people buy it, that will tell me if it was worth my time. Anyway… I needed a logo for my new book. I also needed it for the book website – WPStew.com. I’m not a graphic designer so I needed help. (more…)

I recently moved my sites to a new hosting company. Previously, I had been using 1 &1 for my hosting. For the most part, 1 & 1 provided a good service. I had no complaints about down time or how fast my site loaded. But, 1 & 1 has not kept up with the times. They have a custom admin screen that is klunky at best.
