First and foremost we wish to apologize.  This week the website has gone through quite a “touch-and-go” process.  Everything went pretty well as scheduled and most of your objectives are now met.  There is minor maintenance issue on the administration side that doesn’t affect the website operationally.

Last week we began a transfer over to a new server.  The server provides better response.  A number of prerequisites were planned, deployed and achieved prior to the new site going into production.  Furthermore, this did cause some unexpected outages for a brief period of time.  The longest downtime was on Monday.

Thanks for your patience.  If you would like to drop us a line you can contact us here.

An entrepreneur is trying to sell his mother’s, a St. Louis, MO native, house that has been empty since the beginning of the recession.  The residence has fallen victim to the economic times.  Several attempts to sell and time has taken it’s toll by slowly draining his mom’s saving account.

The son, Christopher Simons, decided to roll up his sleeves and put on his marketing hat by creating a website.  Although the house has not sold as of November 18, 2009, he hopes the website will resolve the situation.  How’s that for taking ownership of a situation.

The website is very nice.  The design is clean and the layout shows it was created by an experienced developer.  PR Newswire pushed out a news release announcing the website.

We wish the entrepreneur success and hope the residence sells soon.  So, stimulate the economy St. Louis, breakout your computers and surf to this website to get your new home.

Interestingly enough Google over the past year has added a little bit of pizzaz to the image it cleanly portrays.  Google prides itself in clean, crisp, white page layouts.  The simplicity is contrary to the content it carries.

The iGoogle page has migrated the tabs, once on the top of the page, over to the left.  It took a little bit getting used to, but it actually appears to have a bit more efficiency.  Certainly it all comes down to personal choices.  I have to give this subtle change a “A.”

PC World recently posted a nifty little mentioning about a website that will convert any website into a PDF document.  The website is straight forward.  Very simple, but handy if you don’t have any utilities running on your computer that can convert.
