TwitterTown: How To Engage A Local Market

Friday, October 30th, 2009

As I’ve said many times, marketing is not my forte. I’m a web designer/developer, and I simply don’t have time to become an expert in marketing, seo (search engine optimization) and social media. That said, these areas are of great interest to my clients, so the subject comes up daily.

Here’s a great article by Scott Stratten at UnMarketing which sheds some light on how you can use Twitter to help engage a local market.

A Complete Newbie’s Guide to Umbraco

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Lee Messenger has published a very valuable blogpost at BlogFodder called A Complete Newbie’s Guide to Umbraco which serves as a collection of excellent links and information specifically targeted to Umbraco newbies (of which I am one!) It’s great to see this type of information being published around Umbraco as it will help build the user base by making it easier for newbies to get involved in this great CMS. One of the recommendations that Lee makes is that you should join Umbraco.tv (19 eur per month) to gain access to over 5 hours of video training. I plan on checking out these videos as I get more involved in Umbraco.development.
