Erica — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 02:37:44 +0000

I’m a little late to the party. No, I didn’t just get here. This will be my third BlissDom. No, I didn’t just find out I’m going… I was one of the first in line to buy tickets. I’m even a community leader. What I’m late for is this whole blogging about it, connecting, and [...]

Help Me Decorate My #BlissDom Tote Bag with Sharpies

The BlissDom conversation is really heating up! Twitter blew up this evening as the evening entertainment was announced and conference attendees hurried to share the news.

Bloggers have no shortage of options when it comes to writing implements. Alia covered this topic well when she discussed the differences among desktops, laptops, smartphones, and plain old pen and paper. Her conclusion makes enough sense: it all depends on the needs of the individual blogger. Yet there is one option not presented, and [...]

Do You Love A Local Business?

Erica — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 06:25:10 +0000

In my small home town, not many people do business online. The ones who do are just getting started and it thrills me to see them opening up to new ideas and potential for their companies. My husband and I have been operating online for several years, offering web hosting and development services to local [...]

Before we get to this fabulous bit of wisdom from Becky and Hollee, I want to introduce them as friends. Hollee came to me a few months back, wanting a new site design. Since that time, we’ve worked together a lot, and I’m tickled to say, we’ve gotten to meet in person, hug, make some [...]

We schemed. And then, we dropped some love.

Erica — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:33:21 +0000

Ok, make that a LOT of love, and a LOT of scheming. This month, Blissdom partnered with Love Drop and then picked a Blissdom community member to show some love to. While most of the world sees the drop starting the first of the month, there’s a lot of behind the scenes work and scheming [...]

The Wrong Way to Use Stock Images

Erica — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:36:26 +0000

I was on a deals website yesterday when I spotted this skyscraper ad. I refreshed the page a few times and realized it was in a rotation with other ads from an ad network. How does the design team, their manager, the client who hired out the ad, and the ad network not notice this? [...]
