In case you hadn’t heard, Google has redesigned their captcha this month (known as reCAPTCHA) to be much more user-friendly (see their blog post here). In fact, they’ve made it SO friendly, they’re calling it the NO CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA. I have to agree that it’s much more user-friendly, and even more important, is MOBILE-friendly! I …
Using CAPTCHA in Infusionsoft Forms
Web form spam sucks. No one would disagree with me on that statement. Methods for combatting web form spam also suck, but it seems using a captcha still persists as the most effective method to do it. The problem with using a captcha is it can can annoy the very people you’re wanting to fill …
Use Custom Graphic for Twitter Follow Button
How can you use a custom image for a Twitter Button? Twitter has made it easy to add a “follow” button to your site using their widgets. But what if you want to use your OWN graphic? Not so easy. Or at least they would like you to think that. All I wanted was to …
Change Twitter Widget Width to Wider than 520px
I’ve been playing around with responsive design quite a bit lately (yes, I know I need to work on my OWN site for that, but the cobbler’s shoes are always the last to be repaired), and I came upon a puzzling issue: How do I change the Twitter Widget width? When I was working on …

Internet Explorer problems with JQuery image preload and hover
What a surprise that Internet Explorer is STILL giving website designers problems. Ok, so it’s actually NOT a surprise, but definitely still a timewaster. The latest issue I was trying to resolve was one of the simplest things to add to my website: an image change on mouseover. I’ve been doing this with some lengthy …
Launch Day!
Happily, I have launched the new site! Before doing so, I wanted to update my facebook business page to Timeline. I had to update my custom app at the same time, but that just enabled me to see the changes that came with the switch to Timeline for business pages. If you haven’t switched your …
Out with the old, in with the new!
Wow, so here I am, working on a fresh design on my own website. Yes, definitely overdue since my old design dated back over 10 years. As is the case with many “service” industries, web designers often prioritize their own website as last on their list. It seemed every time I wanted to update my …
