Interesting app. Thanks for the share Joey.
I understand EmptyNest's point though. If anyone's looking for an alternative that works similarly, there's a free web service called IFTTT (If This Then That).
Basically, you connect channels (Instagram account, WordPress account) to your IFTTT...

Thanks for sharing that article. I think it was a good move on Facebook's end to do so for a better user experience.

Nice approach. As long as it benefits your followers, I think it's good to share something outside of promoting your business. It also helps to...
Hi Joey,
That's really a clever approach!
Images indeed are more likely to grab attention than plain text. Short videos are becoming a trend too. Vine and Video on Instagram seems to be new challenges for visual marketers to tap into.
We've also written on our blog about how owners and...
Hi Todd,
Specifically, they're calling it Carousel. For local search, It has just recently been implemented so there isn't a lot of articles written about it as of late. Nevertheless, here are few that you might want to check out:

Hi Madeleine!
If you go to any of your website's subpages using your browser, does it redirect to something like: www.YourWebsite.com/a-sub-page/index.htm ?
If it does, then you might have mistaken Page Title with Relative URL (/a-sub-page/index.htm). On the image below taken from Google...
It's considered good practice to interlink your website's pages whereas necessary. I wouldn't ditch linking to external sources completely though. As long as you think they're highly relevant and that you'd be providing value to the user for directing them to those pages on other sites, then do...
That's a good start. Here are a few tips to help you get the word out about your blog posts:
If you're keeping a Facebook page, share a link to the blog post there. People who've liked your page will likely see what you've posted.
If you have a Twitter account, post a tweet with a link...
Your friend was likely referring to site verification on Google Webmaster Tools. Adding your site to GWT provides significant benefits to you as a site owner and/or webmaster (technical monitoring, troubleshooting issues, analytics, etc.). It's also a way of letting Google know that your site is...
Oh no! It's never fun (and rarely successful) to try and fix problems after the fact. I hope it's not a custom-built CMS. These days, there are so many great CMS options out there... the one I always use and recommend is WordPress of course :)
Ah yes... "the mother test". That sends me back to the drawing board every time!
Believe it or not, I actually stumbled on this forum as I'm doing general research in this industry and was pleasantly surprised to see my article show up here. Actually haven't set up Google Alerts (yet) for...
First, moving away from Flash is definitely the right first step. Many mobile phones won't display it.
As for a slider, I always recommend addressing this as part of a larger site design, not something to patch into place... Also keep in mind how you will keep the slider updated with fresh...
Hi all - Thanks for reading my article, and Joey, thanks for sharing it
I'm new to this forum, but glad I found it...
As a web designer, I can't help but relate to the similarities in what we do... A huge part of our job is to observe "user experience": finding those areas where people run...
