Fences always seem so underrated, yet they are one of the things that I look at when purchasing a new home. A good quality fence not only keeps all your toys in one place, it can also look great.

Now you can build your own fence...and we all know how that turns out. After a month of playing in the backyard we may have assembled something that resembles a Cheval de frise, and clearly did not raise the property value.

Communicating with your congregation has never ben easier. From youth group scheduling to sermon podcats, there is a lot of information that you need to share on a weekly basis. We used to acomplish this by picking up the phone, or sending emails and creating bullitens. What if you could accomplish all of this via your website. Now you can send announcements to your congregation, display a custom page on Sunday morning with the latest events, and allow visitors to quickly find your location.

Remember when you had a Facebook wall? Maybe this analogy is why they changed it to a timeline and a newsfeed?

Either way there is still times when you feel like you are talking to a wall, and in reality, we are. Even though it may be a small one. Life a glorified toilet staff we are hoping the next person will see our post and leave a comment of their own.

Lately I have absolutely loved custom social media icons. Unique icons that fit your website, stand out, and are just plain creative.

I just finished my first free social media icon set. This bear paw print pack is free to download and use on your own website. If you are looking for a network that is not included I can add it for you.

Everyday thousands of tons of freight is shipped across Canada and the United States. Connecting farmers with factories, loggers with mills, and consumers with produce and ready to purchase merchandise. When you have something to ship or you need a regular driver to deliver your freight you need reliable professionals who you can count on.

Finding and purchasing your perfect home can be a daunting task. There is always a long list of needs and wants that we wish to be fulfilled, but how do we find that perfect place that we can both love and afford?

Richard Bankert Web Design was exactly what I needed when I looked to have a website designed and subsequently re-designed as my business grew.  I was looking for a small local designer that was easy to work with and understood the unique needs of a small business.  It helped that Richard has an immense amount of patience for answering questions and ensuring a site is ‘just right’. Thanks!   Sasha Golding, Owner, Silver Frame Productions, www.silverframeproductions.ca

If you ever work with multiple computers at the same time then you understand the frustration of having to drop everything on one computer, find the keyboard and mouse on another, only to type for one minute and then go back to the other. What if there was a way to control both of them with one keyboard and mouse. Well there is, well, actually, there are multiple ways.  

My first attempt at having a multiple computer experience was by using a KVM Switch. I still use this method, but not for my workspace. It is best suited for multiple computers that you want to control one at a time with one monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.

The Google Search Engine helps you find things on the internet. Without a search engine you would have to know and type in the address of every website that you want to visit. The search engine helps you find websites by using the keywords that you type into the search bar.

How does Google know where my website is?

Google sends out robots that travel all over the internet, think of them like map makers, creating a large map of all the websites on the internet and where they are, including your website. They find websites by following links. An important way to ensure that your website pages are found by Google is to include a website site map on your website. The site map has links to all your pages so that Google will index them (map them) for you.
