Yell if it changes

December 12, 2008

I began Yell if it changes about a year or so ago to notify me by email if some websites had changed. This was before RSS feeds really took off for me. Many sites provide RSS feeds now but still this service is quite useful. Many sites don’t provide feeds and RSS isn’t [...]

hosting company dos and donts

December 1, 2008

I work with a lot of websites using plenty of different hosting companies. Most are excellent and provide all the neccessary tools though some lack some obvious resources. It can be frustrating when making a small update to a customers site on their behalf only to find that it will take a day or more [...]
