Using FileZilla FTP to Access Your Site

Erica — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:32:39 +0000

As the hosting provider for many of my design clients, and many other site owners, I’m asked a lot about accessing a site’s files. While some hosts offer cpanel access, our Rackspace hosting does not, and the only way to view/edit files hosted on our servers is via FTP. Before you think FTP is only [...]

Erica — Tue, 10 May 2011 15:40:46 +0000

I’m a huge advocate of backing up your data, whether it’s your WordPress database, your photos, or your clients files.

Erica — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 17:57:23 +0000

I’m a huge fan of free software, and usually for screenshots I use something called ScreenHunter 5. But, since getting a new laptop with Windows 7, I’m finding myself using the included Snipping Tool a lot more! You’ll find the Snipping Tool in your start menu, under Accessories.

Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Review

Erica — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 12:39:37 +0000

For about five years I have been using Open Office instead of Microsoft Office, just because it was free and really did meet my needs as a small business owner. However, I’ve missed the ease of sharing documents with clients in a seamless way. Yes, Open Office works ok with Word and Excel, but there [...]

Erica — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 12:31:16 +0000

Guest Post by Kevin Tea Most bloggers by the very fact that they publish their blogs on the Internet have at least a rudimentary knowledge of computing and technology.

Erica — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:00:09 +0000

It all started in the middle of the night… A strange dream about being in a crowd, waiting for something to start, and then seeing a guy I used to sing with take the stage. After not having seen him for several years, I was quite surprised, but nowhere near as shocked as I was [...]
