Just days after Google’s plans to introduce controversial DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to Chrome hit the headlines, comes news of another HTTPS change that is set to hit the hundreds of millions using the world’s most popular browser. For Google this change is critical, completing the task of pushing websites to ensure all traffic is encrypted. For website developers, it means there is a cut-off date to make changes.

LAST UPDATED: JANUARY 9TH, 2018 | By Shaun Anderson What Are Meta Tags? Meta Tags are used by Google and other search engines in some not-so-obvious ways. QUOTE: “Meta tags are a great way for Webmasters to provide search engines with information about their sites. (They) can be used to provide information to all sorts of clients, and each system processes only the meta tags they understand and ignores the rest. (They) are added to the <head> section of your HTML page.” (GOOGLE) How Can I Check The Meta Tags On A Site? You can use tools like SEMRush (specifically the SEMRush Audit Tool), SiteBulb Crawler, DeepCrawl, Screaming Frog or SEO Powersuite Website

Will the New Domain Extensions Negatively Impact Your SEO?

by Eric Siu Five years ago, there weren’t that many options when it came to domain name extensions. You could only register a domain with a .com, .org or .net extension — and good luck if the name you wanted was already in use!

NEW SITE! RunCoachJason.com WordPress website design ($397 WordPress Special)

This website design is for Dr. Jason Karp, a leading personal fitness expert based out of San Diego. Jason was referred to me by a mutual friend whom I’d helped previously with his WordPress needs. Jason had a rather dated website he’d built himself with Microsoft Frontpage, a tool Microsoft discontinued in 2003 and stopped supporting in 2005. There are a lot of websites languishing irrelevantly in need of the modernization and power that WordPress exactly offers. Jason came to me after unsuccessfully trying on his own to get into WordPress. That’s what I do…I help people get into WordPress and

La Jolla Concert By the Sea 2011 Season Is Off To A Great Start Thanks to "The Heroes!"

As the webmaster for the concerts, I try to get to as many of the shows as I can to grab pictures and enjoy the great time. Yesterday, I was fortunate to be in attendance at the kick-off of La Jolla Concerts By the Sea’s 28th season. Also, this year, my 16 year old daughter, Amethyst was helping out La Jolla Kiwanis, one of the sponsors for the events. She belongs to Key Club at La Jolla High School and she and some of her fellow Key-clubbers were on hand to help out as volunteers with set-up, concession sales, etc. My

I created this image for La Jolla Meals On Wheels. Wanting a soft, impressionistic feel, I used some of the artistic filters, etc. in Adobe Photoshop, one of my favorite playthings. Click on the image to see it enlarged and you’ll better see the “painterly” effect. (Thanks to the La Jolla Light newspaper for providing the original photograph on which this image is based.)
