Rejigged two websites today!

One of the SEO/SEM firms I work for has a co-owner that likes the word "re-jigged".  At first it was funny, but it turns out it's a great way to express certain kinds of work.

So today, I re-jigged a couple websites that were bothering me:

1.) Delaware Webmaster:  http://www.delawarewebmaster.com

This was always a portal to showcase seo/sem work here in Delaware.  However, I'd rather be poked in the eye with a flaming hot stick multiple times than do PPC or serious SEO work.  I'm a programmer and that's what I'll keep doing thank you.  Since my main activity at Delaware Webmaster has been turning down work for years, I decided it was time to do a little "re-jigging" today and redo the website.  

2.) J.C. Bib General Contractors, LLC:  http://www.jcbib.com

By necessity this site needs to be based on wordpress for ease of use for the client.  However, the pictures they were taking just didn't look right in the side show unless other steps were taken first.  It was an annoying step that was beyond their tech abilities.  That means in the big view I hadn't done my job right.  So Merry Christmas Jeremy and Casey...  you've got a brand new website.  A training video is on the way to show you how to use the slideshow!

This might just be the week of "re-jigging".  It's just one of those things that happen over time, sites get stale and they need to be re-done to current standards and expectations.

PHP and Object Oriented Programming For Dummies ( OOP TUTORIAL)

I know it's tough to wrap your head around the whole concept of OOP programming if you are new at it.  If you've only learned PHP, you have always been able to get away with out dealing with objects.  However, if you jump into a new language that is object oriented it's like a brand new world that makes zero sense.

I'm making a little tutorial series that does not cover all the details, and doesn't even follow best practices.  It's one and only purpose is to allow someone who isn't familiar with OOP to get an idea how it works.  Enough to be dangerous :)

You can read all about it here and follow along!

Remember - this is NOT best practices.  I barely scratch the surface, and I highly recommend you pick up a good book on the subject.  Sometimes it's better to sit and read and have a solid reference on your desk.  It's also a great idea (a must?) to code something while you learn.  It will give your fingers the muscle memory of the keystrokes you need for structure, and believe it or not that will help you remember the concepts.
