Moxie Design Studios

In some recent conversations with my mentor, James Martell, he mentioned "blogmoxie". Driven by the curiosity the springs eternal from my being (was that overkill???:-), I took a look see. Wow! These two women have it together.

Moxie Design Studios offers comprehensive services for anyone needing the infrastructure necessary to get their content online with a beautiful AND efficient web site. I think the beauty of their web site, and the web sites in their portfolio, comes from their inborn talents. Just take a look at the bios for Kathy and Joelle, the owners. They love creativity as evidenced by their scholastic studies.

However, I notice that both of them saw that a career focused solely on the arts won't pay the bills (at least the ones coming from their Italian winery). It takes some serious skill to translate artistic creativity into an online presence. It takes even more skill to monitize that presence. They've gained those skill for sure. Just look at the services they offer. They know CSS, scripting, web site architecture, online marketing, monitizing techniques, and a whole lot more.

I love going to www.blogmoxie.com on a regular basis where I always come away with some nugget of gold.

Hello, world!

I feel thrilled to publish the first post on my latest blog. Having an extensive software programming background, I just had to do the obligatory, "Hello, world." as my first post.

For a long time now, I've wanted, to record my thoughts, discoveries, rants, raves, and whatever else comes to mind about publishing on the web. Now that I completed a large project (finally) some time and energy has freed up for me to pursue this labor of love. So come along for the ride if you like. I hope to learn and give my learning to others.
