This site is one that New Tricks newest web designer, Jason Brown, worked on. It was one of Jason’s first WordPress site designs and I just love it. I think he has a great career ahead as do the Stand Up Guys! Casey Walsh did his own videos which are a hoot. He has a whole lot of them on You Tube. Very savvy Casey. Glad to hear it is working:
Ever since the new website launched the phone has been ringing off the hook. Just about everyone that calls says that after visiting our site, they come right back to us before they even finish viewing our competitors sites because they felt like they already knew us. They say that our site was just so vibrant and friendly, and that none of the other sites blogged about their on the job experiences and it really made them appreciate the fact that we love what we do and are not just here to make money.
They just seem so excited to tell us that they watched all the videos and looked at all the pictures before they even called for an estimate. It’s like their minds were already made up. Even when we finish the job they mention that they love the fact that the same guys from the pictures came out and it just reassured them that they made the right decision.
That’s why we decided to go with New Tricks. They really captured what the Stand Up Guys are all about. We worked hands on with Judi and Jason, and they never made us feel like we were a burden. They took the necessary time to do it right and I regret nothing. With their knowledge about SEO we climbed the google ladder and we really owe them a sincere thank you. So thank you New Tricks, WordPress was exactly what we needed to let the people know who the Stand Up Guys truly are.

New Tricks was busy marketing this week on the premise that if we do our networking, and workshops in November then our December will be as busy as we want it to be. We had a great time at the Ga. Coaches Association round table meeting and the North Fulton Express Network Luncheon of the American Business Women’s Association. Good to see old friends and make some new contacts as well.
Here are our slides from both Dene’s and Judi’s presentations. The Coaches didn’t get to see Dene’s talk on Googling Yourself and other Online Marketing Tips. But both of the talks are on this Slideshare.
For those attending the workshop we are offering a free consultation on your on-line presence. We can do this by phone or in person so drop us a line or give us a call and we will get you on our schedule. We are limiting this offer to the first twenty people to respond.
Judi and I presented this ‘New Tricks for Social Media Presentation’ for the Brookhaven Rotary Club today. They were such a nice crowd. We hope they’ll invite us back soon.
We have written before about the evolution of WordPress’s use as a website development platform rather than, what most people think, as just a blogging program. Using WordPress for websites is cutting edge Web 2.0 and takes advantage of WordPress’s use of a My SQL database. It then becomes a content management system, otherwise referred to as a CMS, which offers much more to a business than a traditional old skool static or Flash website.
Today, I want to bring you what I imagine must be the first song in history about using WordPress as a CMS. I know it is a little rough and I understand there is a new version coming out with much improved production quality. In the meantime, I bring you a performance by Charles Williams from the Dallas WordPress Camp:

She is now attending Georgetown’s Master’s Program in Latin American Studies and Foreign Service and was back off the Rio to do research this summer. She came to us wanting a blog site where she can write about her various projects as well as being a forum for people who are living and working all over the globe. [click to continue…]
