Philanthropy Associates 
Philanthropy Associates wanted a redesign and the ability to easily update their site without having to always depend on a webmaster. Getting Sites Built redesigned the site, giving it a fresh look and a header that pops off the page. For ease of maintenance and scalability, we built the site on the WordPress foundation and provided basic training on how to update the site.
Some of the subtle details include sidebar graphic elements that change, depending on which page of the site you are viewing. The email links are encoded to avoid spambots from harvesting them, resulting in less spam. FeedBurner handles the RSS feed so that blog subscriber results are easily tracked. Likewise, Google Analytics is installed so that basic site stats are only a click away.
Just glue it
A Twitter update via OPML Editor.
I've given up the office space in the Mission. It was a good idea but I enjoy working from home.
Now that I'm working from home, I had to move from the laptop to the Mini. Lots of work! Almost there. Lots of nice benefits like syncing via bluetooth with my cell phone rather than pluggin in a USB cable. Way bigger screen, much faster, etc.
The airport card in the Mini sucks. Very bad reception. I've taken the Mini apart about 7 times now for various reasons and I've tried reseating the connection but to no avail.
The last thing on my laptop is OPML Editor. Why haven't I moved that over yet? Because moving OPML Editor from one computer to another sucks. I always forget how to do it. It's so not easy.
