Set Outlook to allow .exe files

Friday, April 25th, 2008

If Outlook is currently telling you “Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachements .exe” and you need access to that document. You can let the person who sent you that document know that they need to zip the file before they send it or you can set you Outlook to allow you access. All you have to do is follow this link and Microsoft does a great job of walking you through how to make this happen. You will need to do a reboot.

Heres the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829982

Houston Improv, Family Entertainment Houston

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I recently took an amazing course called Life is Improv from an organization called Third Coast Comedy. I have always enjoyed improv and felt that I would do reasonable well at improv. I also understood that getting on stage and enlarging my comfort zone would help me to be more successful in my businesses and everything I do. Dave, the instructor, does a great job of teaching improv and letting the class learn and express themselves in this unique performing art. The environment is incredibly safe. One of the first things you come to understand is that everything you do in the class is perfect. There is no judgment only growth. WOW being in that environemnt alone is worth a ton. Dave also does a great job of allowing people to express the experiences each individual goes through with each of the different games. This really changes this from a performing arts training/practice course to an experiential personal growth course. All of this and it is incredibly fun.

Shortly after a few course Third Coast Comedy invited me to join there regularly performing Friday night troupe. Now almost every Friday you can find me on stage with the Third Coast Comedy players. The event is a family friendly event. Great Family Entertainment in Houston.

So come out and see us. We perform Improv like you would see on “Who’s Line is it anyway”, with host Drew Carey. We are family friendly and you or your kids might be asked on stage to play with us. Don’t hesitate because our stage is one place where everything you say is exactly perfect.

Keywords!! Make sure to choose the right SEO Company Houston

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Good Search Engine Optimization (SEO) companies can get you good search engine placement for your keywords. Great SEO companies first make sure you are dealing with the right keywords and then get you great Search Engine Placement.

This sounds obvious and indeed it is obvious. The challenge lies in putting it into practice. You are probably thinking how challenging could this be, Chris give me an example. I love examples and here is a great one.

I recently had a Webdesign, SEO meeting with one of our large IT Clients who happens to be an Orthopedic surgery center. We sat down with the management staff and discussed the usual, how flashy should the site be, how practical should the site be, what administrative features could affect, in a positive way, the business processes of the company (yes, we always talk about this with our Web Design/SEO customers). All these topics where integrated with an eye for SEO.

Prior to the meeting I had researched and compiled 45 keywords that I felt would be relevant for this company. Things like bone doctor, spine surgeon, ankle doctor, sports doctor, and relevant local versions of those keywords. As we were discussing the fundamentals of the website it dawned one me that although these keywords were very appropriate and valuable to the client they were not the most valuable terms we could have selected. It turns out that the most valuable terms were not terms geared toward customers. The most valuable terms would be those that are geared toward other doctors, in the hopes of getting them to refer patients.

You can understand that having the website land one doctor who continuously refers patients to my client had significant value. Now we put together the best set of keywords, those keywords that not only drive relevant traffic to the site but actually drive the most valuable relevant traffic to the site.

Make sure you choose the right SEO company. Your company deserves the best!!
