Are you having the exposure blues? Do you write articles that few people read? It may be because they aren’t finding your article! Writing on your blog is not enough when you’re starting out. It’s important to spread the word. Doing a little legwork after you write an article makes a large difference in the […]

I’ve been not too happy with Bill Clinton recently — it seems every chance he gets, he makes an ass of himself and hurts Hillary’s reputation.

She wrote (emphasis added by me): I have been looking at the blogs you have created. I am wondering why there aren’t many comments. I want to use […]

You’ve heard a lot about social networking, bookmarking, and media. Facebook is the biggest social networking site out there. Katz Web Design now has a page on Facebook. My clients have been interested in how to use Facebook and other social sites (like MySpace) to promote their business. I will write articles shortly about advertising […]
I was given the domain zackkatz.com for my 17th birthday by my mom. It turns out, it was a good gift 🙂 I used it as a blog, music promotional area, and art gallery. I owned the domain (and let it stagnate) until around 2006, when I wanted to switch hosts. I waited for my domain […]
I listen to NPR (KFCR in Colorado), and I’ve heard a few bits about the Democratic National Convention here in Denver. One of the main topics in these bits is how technologically advanced the DNC ’08 convention is going to be. There will be blogging, there will be YouTube, there will be Twittering, and so […]
A picture [of my cat] is worth a thousand words. I’ve been waiting for WordPress.com to update the administration panel so that I can have galleries. That is the main feature that I’ve been waiting for. Now it’s here, I can finally upload pictures of my cat (and my wife 🙂 ) This will […]
The plugin has been updated. The multitudes may celebrate fewer clicks! As sad as it is to admit (since the plugin has saved me thousands of clicks), Admin Drop Down Menu by Ozh breaks the WordPress image uploader. If you’ve tried everything WordPress tells you to do in order to fix that Image Gallery feature […]
Today, a business associate asked me “I know about blogging, and it seems like a waste of time. Why is blogging worth the time?” I was able to reply with some very convincing arguments — and in a way, I reminded myself about the value of blogging. Blogging establishes you as an expert in your […]
The current KWD website was never a permanent solution, but it was the direction I had been going. That has changed. I am proud to officially announce a rebranding of Katz Web Design, and give a preview of what’s to come. The new logo (draft) The future website (draft) Click on image for a higher-resolution […]
I went to Google Maps today, and I found that Google has updated its Street View functionality to include almost ALL of Denver and the suburbs, including Boulder. This is a CRAZY amount of information. It’s a truly boggling accomplishment. I’m kind of shocked.Check out Street View yourself.
When I think SEO, I think of Google. Why? Is it because Google’s PageRank system determines better websites? Is it because Google’s advertising options are superior? It’s as simple as this: Google gets better results than any other search engine. The major search engines often don’t agree Optimizing websites for search is frustrating sometimes. The […]
I was reading an article on A List Apart the other day and found a link to a website called Tumblr. It makes blogging really easy by making it less intimidating. You choose what type of content you’d like to post, and then you do it!It’s one of the most simple signup forms around, and […]
I am a Denver web designer, and lots of what I do is advise my clients on how to improve their ranking. I do what I can to optimize the code using tried and true SEO techniques. But in the end, it comes down to this: are you willing to work for search engine placement? […]
I like to brag every now and then. When we set out to design a landing page for my Denver client, we had our eyes set on a minimum 2% conversion rate for their pay-per-click campaign. Currently, we’re achieving a 15.94% overall conversion rate. I made some tweaks to the form design last week, and […]
I was browsing using StumbleUpon, and I came across a brilliant website: it lets you play music according to a grid : energetic/calm and positive/dark and so many different ways. It’s really hard to explain, but you just need to check it out yourself!Musicovery.com
