Rehabbing

At this point we are rehabbing this and several other company websites.

In addition to that, we are working with several clients to teach them about on demand technology options, solve problems, and manage some development projects.

More Quick Links & Upcoming Podcast

There are now two Quick Links and Outline Pages available.

• Website Basics
• Podcasting Basics

These pages are the outlines that we go over with clients, potential clients, and at conferences, like the TRPA 2006 last week. Jonathan will be doing an episode of System.Nation focused on Website Basics. This will be basically what was done at TRPA & you can participate, since we will be using TalkShoe. There are a number of ways you can participate.

• Just Listen Live – the show will be live Tuesday November 21st at 2:00 EST. Click the “listen now” link on the TalkShoe Page.
• Listen & Chat – install the TalkShoe client, register an account, and participate live.
• Call in – if you have a TalkShoe Account you can dial in and participate live.
• Download Later – a short time after the show is over it will be available for download.

We expect to release extended version of the outlines in the future and appreciate all the feedback and inquiries for consulting work we have received.
