Comment on Mr. Snowflakes! by Christine Gardner

Hi There, you asked for feedback for the Mr. Snowflakes app.
-It would be nice to see more colourful decorations or lights and some twinkling.
- You could include bobbles that were more personal e.g., Baby’s first Christmas, Our First Christmas, New Home, etc.
-You could include presents that the user can put under the tree with gift tags to: Mom, Dad etc.
- further more you could have a present decorating page to decorate and write an even more personal gift tag for with the receivers name.
All the best!
Christine.

Good analogy. We all tend to plant as much as possible, and get contracts as many as possible; all without thinking about consequences.

Comment on A single contact can improve your traffic by Marie Poulin

I definitely agree with you here!
I launched a job recently for a client, and I requested to put my name/link in the footer. When we launched, my traffic sky-rocketed. When I looked at my analytics, I noticed that coincidentally, on the same day that the site launched, a screen capture of my portfolio was included in a high-traffic web design blog. The two together brought in a ton of traffic very quickly.

I find traffic from footer credits tends to be the best long-term traffic. I have a lot of websites I’ve designed/developed that have my link in their footers, and when their traffic increases, so does mine!

But yes, writing for a well known online publication would definitely help.
I think it’s all about “diversifying” your traffic sources
Great tips!

Here is a link to some SVG/PHP code. I didn’t add it into the talk because it was the design track. I tried to keep the code to a minimum. But if you are interested, you can download a bunch of examples of how poorly I code.

Roan was great– I spoke to him beforehand and he had remarked how surprisingly amazing it was to have people come up to him and tell him how much they loved his service. Not many web conference sponsors get that kind of love!

Thanks so much for the write-up! It was awesome that you were there. Roan certainly left an impression on the audience!

There are so many things about broccoli! I was lucky not to get and diseases on them, but did suffer from a bit of blight on my tomatoes. I have a good analogy for that one, don’t you worry

I grew broccoli once. My problem was not oversowing, it was not protecting from bugs – I’m sure you can fit that analogy in somewhere!
