		<description><![CDATA[One of the things myths I've heard from attending my share of  Word Camp Raleigh events is that template systems are somehow a magic bullet to a successful online marketing campaign. Not that there's anything wrong with terrific tools such as  Thesis, Headway, Genesis, and Builder; nor the premium themes one can purchase for them. <a href="http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2011/05/17/bad-idea-design-poster-11-canned-content/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Glad you asked ... it did so by building an organization around intelligent people who understood how to grow the corporate needs around what the customer wanted. Put in more "Christian" terms, it's about satisfying one's self by first serving others.

		<description><![CDATA[Filed under "If it ain't broke don't Fix it,"SiteMeter, a webpage tracking service popular with pundit blogs, was compelled to roll-back a deployment and issue a public apology after they messed-up badly when they deployed new features that inflamed the blogosphere more than the myth that Palin and Obama are the pawns of an upcoming alien abduction to convert both Christians and Muslims to tenents of XENU. The end result were a number of prominent A-list political bloggers voicing dissatisfaction with the new SiteMeter reminiscent of the New Coke disaster of 1985. <a href="http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2008/09/15/5-things-we-can-learn-from-the-sitemeter-debacle/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just overheard a useful conversation between two vending machine operators while loading up our office junk food dispenser with a bunch of products that didn't sell last week. It is if nothing else, an object lesson in contrast to my oft quoted aphorism "solve their problems, don't tell them yours."

		<description><![CDATA[What could be more ironic than to receive an email from Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox on the topic of "Bad content, bad links, bad navigation, bad category pages" that links to a page that throws a 403, permission access denied page?-) Fortunately for you, I got screenshots, followed by some commentary on the article once the good folks at UseIt.com realized the error or their ways. <a href="http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2008/04/14/jakob-nielsen-four-bad-designs-and-a-403-error-to-boot/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
