August Portfolio Update

The month of August was invested in enduring the process of reformatting a hard drive and a few minor personal life tasks needing some major TLC, including the improvement of my online presence and some re-education in the fields of SEO and W3C Standards.

This pause in refreshing the sites in my portfolio has provided me opportunity to learn more about what the visitors to these sites really want to know about.  This month, I had the chance to review my piles of notes and discard a lot of the clutter for both myself and hopefully for “The House That Caera Built” portfolio as well.  Two sites experienced a temporary spoofing of their domain names, but outside of the technical steps we took, there isn’t much else available to protect any website from this type of “dark” event.

I also had a chance to refresh old connections while making new ones by spending Labor Day Weekend hanging out in one of my favorite online tech forums, Site Reference (www.site-reference.com).  I think I mentioned this in a previous post…?

September has already begun and certain deadlines will hopefully be reached by the end of the month, including a full review of all sites I am responsible for publishing materials to the World Wide Web.  Also, the weather has already begun its shift towards the colder side, so it won’t be as tempting to travel as much as I did this summer.

That’s about it for August…oh wait!  I did get the chance to celebrate my birthday by turning off the computer entirely and then moving so far away from it, I couldn’t touch it no matter how tempted I might become… LOL! ;&gt
