Anocial is Back
New site, new ideas. It’s taken a while but there was really good reasoning behind taking about a month to get my site fully updated. Fully updated, that’s a bit of a stretch. There are simply too many past posts to alter so that it will look perfect on this site. That being said, all the pages have been updated and I have a cool little site, if I do say so myself. I wanted this site to convey both the professional maturity I have gained since I started Anocial and the fun I like to add into work. It’s a different site for a different type of marketing firm. I hope you like...
read moreWordPress, It’s Not Just For Blogging
You’ve heard me, and many others, talk about what a great platform WordPress is for blogging. For the very same reason I say you should use WordPress for your blog, I say it is a perfect platform to show off your artistic work. There is one more big reason to use WordPress for your portfolio too. Many artists choose flash based sites to show off their work, and have some really beautiful results. There is one big problem with a flash based website, Google can’t see it. Search engines are unable to properly crawl a flash based website, making the task of effectively doing SEO on...

Remember when you were a kid, and that feeling you’d get when you got that new pair of Chuck Taylor’s? You just knew that you could run, jump, and climb faster, higher, and further because of them. We’d compare the tread of our shoes on the playground, because obviously, cooler tread meant the uncanny ability to run faster. That’s the optimism of change. Right now, I have that optimism of change. I spent 14 hours on Friday, and another eight on Saturday working this change over. I’m really happy with it. In fact, it has energized my out look on blogging. I...

Like I said in an earlier post, February is one year for Anocial. It has been one heck of a growing experience. I can’t tell you just how much I have learned. The biggest thing I have learned is the importance of listening. I realize that if I will only listen to what you have to say, you will point me in the right direction. One of the biggest things I have been hearing is a need for affordable but quality websites. Since I mainly work with small businesses, there is huge need for you to be able to find quality work at a price that won’t put your business under. Templates are...
read more8 Awesome New WordPress Themes
A big part of my business is getting small businesses into a website. Websites, as we all know, can be very expensive. They don’t have to be. I have sung the joys of WordPress before, like my last post, as a matter of fact. One of the biggest draws to WordPress for a small business is affordability. There are thousands of ready made templates out there, for free. Thousands more for under $100. One of the best aspects of working with a pre-made template is that your finished site will look very close to the original template. You’ll have a very good idea of what you are getting by...
read moreWhy WordPress is the Best CMS. My 5 Reasons.
The debate rages on. Which is the best CMS out there? All the platforms out there have very definitive pros and cons. There are plenty of Drupal fans out there, and for very good reasons. There are also fans of Expression Engine, and Joomla among others. They all have very good reasons for being fans of their engines. It just so happens that I am a fan of Woordpress. I use WordPress, and I set up the majority of my clients with WordPress. Here are a few reasons why, I believe WordPress to be the best all around platform out there. Plugins: Thousands of plugins are out there. Installation...
