BlueHatDesign – Eugene, Oregon Web Design

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.

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.
