Hatters Workshop is moving into Hartford. We’re growing up and moving out of the house we started in. This is a big step, which hopefully won’t end in financial ruin (kidding!).

Filed Under tech trauma, General Web Info, Around The Office | Leave a Comment
Yahoo Small Business – If you have a single web minded person in your company do them a favor and DO NOT use yahoo small business. Their backend panel is an absolute mess.
I’m pretty savy with DNS, .htacess, and server side redirects; some of the people working in the tech center trying to guide me […]

I was asked this the other day. My immediate response was something a kin to “everyone should blog if they have something interesting and relevant to say”. Seth Godin makes a pretty good case against CEO blogging saying
“Here’s the problem. Blogs work when they are based on:
Candor
Urgency
Timeliness
Pithiness and
Controversy
(maybe Utility if you want six).
Does this […]
