I actually needed this to get me going today. I have a pile I needed to take care of. Very timely for where I am right now. Thanks!

Hi Elge,

Great article. I got a lot out of it and am already putting some of it to use. I'm glad someone has a clue as to how to navigate the online world and start putting it to best use.

Thanks!

Thanks Aaron!

Wow. How timely is this? I've met with two developers in the past week and to be honest, they sucked, so #4 is where my focus is right now.

I'm rethinking my whole web development strategy and hopped on my computer to do some research when I saw this.

I think I've got a pretty good handle on where I want to go, but definitely picked up some good pointers too!

It's funny but I can especially relate to the 2nd bullet point of Rule #1. When I started looking for photos to use, they're all the high school yearbook kind or the mug shot variety (like this one). Just a few days back, I found out that a friend of mine is a commercial photographer and he's got a great portfolio, so that's a must for me also.

Thanks for the article.

Thanks for the reminders. All too often, people are walking advertisements, as in, "what's in it for me, me, me," instead of offering something of value and looking at it from the receiver's standpoint.
