C2 Creative’s New Co-Working Space
November 1, 2011 by Chris Smith
Houston, if you don’t know, has one of the best job markets in the country right now. We’re a town rich with industries in the high-tech, medical, and petrochemical/energy fields. Something that’s a great byproduct of this is a strong and prosperous entrepreneurial community. Whether it’s a new-idea-incubation startup, or a creative/tech service like what [...]
Continue Reading →It’s been pretty commonly agreed for quite a while that PageRank (in the form that’s publically viewable) is a number that just doesn’t match up to the real authority of a particular site. The latest post from the Webmaster Tools blog solidifies that fact that this just isn’t something to base your success metrics on. [...]

July 6, 2011 by Chris Smith
Facebook’s announcement today included information about the much talked-about video chat. Now, video chat is nothing new or particularly special. It’s been consumer available since the mid- to late 90′s (CU-SeeMe, anyone?). However, it’s always been something that hasn’t been accessible to many folks, especially the less tech savvy among us.

I just thought it was fitting that I jot down a short post while sitting in the WordPress/Automattic Lounge area. I met the very knowledgeable Ian Stewart (he is on the theme team for WordPress.com). He gave some good insight on transferring a .com theme to a regular hosted installation (I’ll cover this in more [...]

However, depending on your use of WordPress, there are a few tips to keep in mind when building your WordPress website. Well Written Content Without decent [...]

September 12, 2010 by Chris Smith
A while back, I did an experiment trying to prove that while Twitter links are marked as nofollow, that they actually ARE followed. I had a registered, but never-used domain. Google searches for the domain name yielded zero results. I published a simple, static HTML page (no possibility of trackbacks/pinging/RSS/etc.), and tweeted a link from [...]
