Tech Tips and Advice from the Experts at Dynamic Edge

Unusually Helpful Comments

The following comment was so helpful that I thought it would be best served as its own entry… so, without further adieu, Metik from www.metik.com writes in response to “New Look & Feel and Other Notes”:

Getting a little more advanced.

Now that I’m getting a handle on this whole WordPress blogging thing, I’ve been given the dubious task of putting together the new Dynamic Edge Consulting website…

Ok, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit. For now it’s just the written content that I’m responsible for. As it turns out, the brunt the weight is on Skyler’s shoulders — he’s the one that takes the conceptual sketches and turns them into usable web skins. Although I’m sure I’ll learn that too, someday.

Through a New Friend

I made a new friend in the office this week (via email, since I’m not actually there). His name is Jim and, as I’ve been told, he’s the go-to guy for grammar questions. Now, usually I’ve got a pretty good handle on how you’re supposed to write things [*whether I use it all the time or not*] but here are a few helpful words Jim passed on to me, to help keep News From the Edge looking good.
