My latest side project – my friend Kristin, owner of Kristin’s Emporium, has been talking this past year of wanting a website. So last weekend I introduced her to WordPress.com. A bit of a learning curve as she wants to be hands-on for this, learning how to make her own posts… I pointed out in last [...]

As of noon today, the website www.northcoastbconline.com has been taken temporarily off-line.  I’ve been wanting to make changes to this website for some time, and finally took action on it.  One of the biggest problems I had was that new users with CityWest emails could not get their classifieds system messages, they were blocked. Now, [...]

My latest project needing just a few more tweaks… Andy Ramsay, a former co-worker from Lakelse Air, asked me to help bring their 6 year old, single page website into a new age. www.whiteriverhelicopters.ca The website is built using WordPress.  The template I built from scratch using Artisteer and The Templateer.  The options for the [...]

Well, I did it! I finished reading my online course, submitted a completed assignment and received my certificate of completion. I’ve attached  to this post a PDF that explains the skills I’ve been taught in this course – keyword research, linking, blogging/social media assistant, web analytics, affiliate marketing, online market research, search engine marketing, email [...]

I’ve been a family historian/genealogist for over 10 years now, gathering notes, documents, scrapbooks, photos from a variety of cousins and grandparents. When I first started this hobby, I knew very little beyond my grandparents. Thankfully both my grandmothers had created scrapbooks and albums with an assortment of newspaper clippings, obituaries, funeral programs, wedding announcements, [...]

For the past couple of years I’ve had a project working in the background – a business directory & free classifieds system targeting residents of the north coast.  The software I use is created by CityAmerica – a nice system, but now that my WordPress / Joomla talents have grown I find the options a [...]

My latest WordPress website… the design is actually one I started in the fall of 2009. The original website was a simple HTML template from Microsoft Frontpage.  I began site updates in 2008, redesigned the HTML in 2009 but the new design didn’t go public.  Spring 2010 after some discussion, it was decided to create [...]

My second Joomla website completed in the fall of 2010.  The site was originally an HTML template I built several years ago.  As requested by the business owner, the design is similar to the one I built for Bear Creek Contracting, the parent company.  You can view the live site at www.lakelseair.bc.ca Artisteer software was [...]

This website I originally created abt 2004 when I was an employee there. It was an html template that I purchased online, then modified. Shortly after I built it, I discovered that AV BaseSystems WinAir – aircraft maintenance software (which Lakelse Air uses) also used the same template & modified it for their site – [...]

Now available for public viewing www.bearcreekcontacting.ca. This new domain is in addition to the former domain www.bearcreekcont.ca which now points to the new domain. I built the original Bear Creek website years ago when I was an employee at Bear Creek.  The spring of 2008 I updated the website from an HTML design to a [...]
