Using websites that require old browsers

Sandboxie is, like the name indicates, a sandbox for browsers. This is a Windows only application. This is like a quarantined space for your risky browser to run.

You can't access some websites if you have an updated, safely patched computer. Specifically, the federal government demands visitors use old versions of web browsers. Doing this risks virus and trojan infection. So, using a sandboxed virus collector (like IE6) is the most safe way to do this. Actually running an antique browser without added protection is just a bad idea.

New mission statement

To take full responsibility and deliver everything a small business needs to rock the internet, hard.

Getting started with content

Often, people make the mistake of starting with the design of a website and jamming the content into the design they pick. We tend to work around this backwards method of site design by first creating a template or framework for the site: colors, logo, fonts, etc. We try to make it as fluid and as flexible as possible, giving the website administrators tools to update content with as little technical encumbrance as possible. However, whenever possible, we try to get the website administrators to engage in the content creation process.

Grocery chain gets internet savvy

Aldi Meals

There are meal planning companies online, pitching savings through planning that help to lower overall grocery meals. This seemed like a brilliant service to me, but I wondered (aloud) why grocery stores weren't using this feature as a free offering to luer and retain customers.

Surf more reliably by using OpenDNS

You can identify bad DNS services by failed links, unresolved websites and the error message that you see if you web browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc. may use different language) is that the URL failed to resolve or the link is broken. This is often not the fault of the website owner, but your local internet provider.
