Re: Photography- How to deal with customers who think you are too expensive?

You need different customers - people who aren't perpetually looking for bargain prices and cheap deals. There are people out there with enough disposable income not to worry about what to them may...

Re: Setting up WP locally then move it online?

Hi. I'm assuming you're using XAMPP or similar to host your blog on your own machine. Go to your localhost Wordpress Dashboard and from there to Tools>Export. Choose 'All content' and save the XML...

Re: Keyword problem with SEO optimized content

Paul? Good point, but this is the stuff I do after I've written for my loyal subjects. People first, machines second. One of the ways the web has changed the way I write is that I know better than to...

Re: What FREE HTML Editor is best?

For lean code that loads fast, use Notepad and learn html and css. I've used WYSIWYG editors, but they make flabby code that sometimes won't look right in different browsers. I hate to admit it,...

Re: Wordpress Weirdness

Hi. When you make posts, stay in the HTML view, and NEVER switch to Visual. (Those are the tabs in the top right of your post box.) It means you have to put in your own HTML to format your post, but...

Re: Wordpress Premium Theme - Which is Best?

Thanks Martin. Thesis is heading the list at the moment. I read your posts about it, and I have to admit I've considered going down the route of building my own theme. The tuition is out there, and...

Re: Please review my site..Need some advice...

Hi. Check your spelling. It sounds petty and piddling, but it really makes a difference to how your site is perceived. Priceless, not 'prizeless'; remembering, not 'remembring'. Nice job, though....

Re: website review

Hi. First impressions are that it took a while to load, and that the big block of text really needs breaking up with subheads and bolding. That big header could go, and I'm not sure about that exact...

Re: Please critique my Squeeze (I'm improving it)

Hi. Thought I'd throw in my two penn'orth. I think there are some simple design changes that might help:

Re: Can you help me squeeze some convesions from this page?

Hi. 2nd page much better. I always think you should be able to read a squeeze page without scrolling. I suspect you'd still lose people who don't want to give away their phone number. Split test name...

Re: Need Help With Website
