The desktop is dead or haven’t you heard? Not only are laptops powerful enough to handle business needs, now people are using their phones, tablets, and a few enterprising souls swear by their iPods. Not to mention the predictions that mobile usage will overtake desktop usage by 2014.

Content Writing is the third leg in the tripod of a strong SEO strategy. The first two legs are On-Page SEO and Backlinking. However, those two are not enough on their own -- they must be supported with strong content.

Simply put, it’s a mechanism for adding style (e.g., fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents. CSS3 is the latest version creating a buzz with web developers and designers and it’s important for business owners to understand the basics of CSS3 and how it impacts their website.

Have you ever wanted to start your own business but you didn’t have the capital or infrastructure needed to get it off the ground? Are you technically savvy and enjoy working in the technology field?

Most business owners are familiar with the term search engine optimization (SEO) and they know that ranking in Google, Yahoo! or Bing for non-branded target keywords is the best way for their website to be found online. However, most owners do not understand the technical components and aspects that influence search engines results affecting how their website ranks.

Google Drive, the much anticipated online storage offering has been released and includes unique search capabilities and convenient integration with other Google services such as Docs and Google+.

If you’re an active designer or developer you’ve undoubtedly heard the term “HTML5” being thrown around almost as frequently as Apple, Google or Twitter. “HTML” stands for “Hyper Text Markup Language” and can be found in nearly every website on the web. HTML4 was released in 1997 and has been updated to handle the increasing demands modern technology has for the Internet. While HTML4 has been ‘tweaked’ to provide higher levels of interactivity and multimedia to webpages, it has its drawbacks and could not always keep up with the rich, dynamic content found online.

Websites that load at a snail’s pace are the worst. The Internet is supposed to be instant and should exceed or at least keep up with our fast-paces lives! So it should come as no surprise search engine spiders that crawl websites also hate to be kept waiting and frown upon sites that take a long time to load. Because both human visitors and search crawlers absolutely hate slow websites, any delay in the loading of your page could result in a reduction of traffic and revenue; something every Webmaster wants to avoid.

It is common knowledge among Webmasters and Marketers that search engine optimization (SEO) is the backbone of a website or blog and has a lot to do with its success or failure online. Unless your online marketing campaign includes leveraging pay per click advertising or traditional marketing (TV, radio or print), more than likely no one will know you’ve created a new website—this is particularly true when you consider how many billions of pages search engine spiders have to crawl and index!

To manage a successful online brand management campaign, it is essential to know when and where a conversation related to your website or company is sparked; if for nothing else so you can positively engage into the conversation, giving a “human feel” behind a virtual webpage. While many mainstream sites have made this process seamless by offering search services internally, blogs must adhere to a separate set of rules. Despite the fact that blogs are usually interconnected, they are largely viewed by the search engines as separate entities and therefore lack an integrated search feature.

In October 2011, we featured an article on a little boy named Brennan Scurlock. Brennan's grandfather had submitted his website for our 'Site of the Month' contest. Brennan's story touched all of us.

As advances in technology allow people to be connected more than ever before, today’s workforce is less likely to work in an office, all day, every day. Instead, workers are increasingly distributed and mobile, often conducting business from numerous locations using several new platforms to do so. In order to stay productive, workers need full access to email anywhere they go at a moment’s notice—business communication can happen at any time and employees must be prepared!

As an open source content management system, Drupal is a platform that many people utilize to effectively design a website in a reliable manner. Because Drupal is an open development model, people can work on and change it constantly. As each version of Drupal becomes increasingly more advanced, extensions have been created in order to make a website more flexible and increase its functionality. For reference, here is a comprehensive list of the top ten Drupal extensions that are easy to use and will enhance the interactive nature of your site.

While one has a very difficult time arguing against Photoshop as the top program for any photo manipulation or non-vector design job, the substantial investment required by a Photoshop license can be a scary thing—especially for web designers on a tight budget. Fortunately, designers with less funding can utilize some pretty decent free alternatives to Photoshop. Although these options won’t have nearly as many online help tutorials, they won’t cost a penny and can still produce and manipulate images successfully.

Just like the seasons, technology changes rapidly in today’s fast-paced world. Just like evolving technological devices, popular social media sites are also growing—adding new features while eliminating others. Facebook, in particular, has recently made several alterations to its “pages” in an effort to give webmasters more control over both the physical site and its analytical results.

Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board that allows users to share images they find online that are interesting, inspiring or fun to look it. It’s been around for a while now but has just recently caught on intensely. Pinterest is visually driven, which makes it pleasurable and very easy to use. When you share an image they become a “pin” and they can be placed on “Boards” which are customized and defined by the user. Once you “pin” something any follower or Pinterest user can “repin” the same image can “like” the pin or comment on it.

“Friend Seeding” is another one of the magic buzz words surrounding social networking for businesses. To quickly summarize, Friend Seeding is finding friends or fans that “Like” or want to “follow” your company, product or service online. There are few better ways of building relationships with your core audience than by attracting them to your brand through social networking. Adding new followers is also a great way to keep your company’s social networking pages active, interesting and dynamic.

There is a new player in the online deal world that Living Social and Groupon have so far dominated. The wildly successful “daily deals” have now been turned into a money making opportunity for everyone when you use CityWorth.

Or how strikes and balls show up in a little box during a baseball game, or how is it that when NASCAR races are at full speed that all the driver's information flies around the screen with them? Wonder no more....

Mobile apps are a large part of our everyday world. The most popular mobile apps for 2012 will have unique features that cater to the mobile environment rather than merely act as an extension of their online peers. Mobile applications will be a highly competitive marketplace this year and those device vendors that proactively integrate innovative apps at the platform layer will have the competitive edge.

Open Source has been a “buzz word” for quite some time.

If you work in social media marketing or track your companies online presence, you know how difficult it can be to monitor every post, tweet, RSS feed, review, etc. With all the new social media and customer review websites that seem to pop-up weekly, it’s challenging to find the time to track them all and record who is talking about your brand. Social media monitoring tools are extremely helpful at tracking what is being said about your company online, not to mention saving you a lot of precious time.

And if you’re like most home office or small business owners you don’t have an IT Department to keep your data safe and secure. Therefore, you need to choose a backup solution that is best for your personal and professional needs.

Within the last few years the use of video has grown from a few businesses occasionally including it on their website, to an essential, competitive differentiator that can streamline operations and quickly promote a brand.

Lunarpages supports an open Internet environment. That said Lunarpages of course does not support online piracy such as Copyright/Trademark infringement or the distribution of protected material.
