Just a quick heads up. Staples is having a special on banners this week, so if you need a banner for your store or event – now might be a good time. (I’m not sure if you need to be a Staples Rewards Member or not but I don’t think so.)

Have you heard about HTML5? You probably don’t follow the news about web languages. That’s okay – you have someone doing web work for you so you don’t have to.
If you will indulge us, there’s this newish-not-yet-completed thing called CSS3 which let’s you use commands to create simple images and movements.
One clever designer has done something truly amazing. Using no pictures, the designer made a walking At-At, complete with shooting laser turrets and walking legs.
Why do we mention this? Sending pictures requires bandwidth, which can be expensive. Sending this same picture using only text is faster and cheaper.
Look for more improvements along these lines as the CSS3 commands are further improved and implemented.
These two things seem mutually exclusive. Musicians have to choose between them.
Do you? Does your band need to be discovered?
What if you could use the web to discover fans? Put your original music online for a minimal price. It can work.
What if you don’t have a band but you still want to self promote?
Offer something for free and let people know about it. This will help bring people to your site.
Have you had SEO improvements done for your website? Here are 5 interesting things that you should know,particularly #4 and #5 which cover mulitple platforms and social media.
Number 3 is interesting. Veery interesting. And you might not realize how important until it’s far too late.
Search is becoming less and less standard. What you get when you search for “pizza” in 90210 is different than what your neighbor in 90211 gets. And it might be different for your neighbor from across the street, too.
But it’s not only your geographic location. It’s your friends on social media, your browsing history, your search history and more. Soon, every person’s search results will be more personalized than not and no two searches will have the same results – even for one word searches.
And it’s more complex than that. Google will eventually begin simply displaying the information that people used to find on your website. As an afterthought, Google might include the link to your website. If people find it valuable enough.
Plus one more both articles failed to mention. SEO is something that you can’t just do once. It has to be redone periodically to remain effective.
So it’s good that you had foresight to have some SEO work done. Now, just don’t lose the momentum and keep your website up to date.
