Although we think of a Blog as a journal with "posts" relating to a topic or the blog owner's interests, a Blog can be MUCH MORE! Blog software provides an easy way to enter, store and search data, and can provide specific "feeds" for other websites. Blog software can be used to create a website that offers rich content management. Or, put a blog in a subdomain of your website for an instant mobile-friendly or eletter section. When you add a new post it can automatically alert your audience. Recently, we added numerous entries to the NEW MEDIA & MORE blog that relate...

FastZone Welcomes MargoLocke.com
Monday, April 04 2011 - fastzone-com-customer - 0 comments
FastZone is hosting MargoLocke.com , an artist website created by DAY Communications. Since this website is a brochure to show watercolor art, the artist's images were created as high-resolution files. In past years on the web, this was not a "best practice," since many people did not have fast access to the internet. Perhaps, in the future, fast access will not allow such large files, as more traffic and requests for high-res applications cause everyone to limit their downloads. We'll see. This website features fabulous watercolor art, but Margo has not yet quit her day job,...
