If you operate a photography business, and you do not have some kind of regular¹ blog, you are seriously holding back your business.

Even when I do not get new clients from the blog, my existing clients read my blog and make comments about this or that article. I have had more extra job from existing clients because of the blog.

Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year. Let 2010 be a good year for you from me and from my buddy Google:

Wiley Grossman MWC died, this morning 18-Dec-2008, of a long and painful cancer. He adopted us 14 years ago. He was a curmudgeon with a quick temper but Wiley was always fair. He accepted the world as it was and never complained. Once Wiley trusted somebody, it was a full, 100% trust. He never questioned or argued. Some people eat to live, he lived to eat.

He always wanted to be a great explorer, he talked about it at least a couple of times every week. He did some exploration, but only during nice weather. Once he ventured in the "Great White North" in winter, I had to rescue him. He always spoke of all the great adventures he wanted to experience.

I want to wish everybody a merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah since it's at the same time.

What happened? The website didn't go down. I lost no article. Yesterday, Tuesday 14-Jul-2009, I was doing some maintenance when I realized that the "Tags", the column on the left and the link at the bottom of each blog entry with Biz101, Marketing, Pricing... where not being updated. As a matter of fact, the last update happened on the 7-Apr-2009, 3 month ago.

No problem, just reindex, about 5 minutes and everything should be OK. So 5 minutes later, I checked the tags and nothing, most of the tags are empty. So delete the index and just redo the index, right? Nooo! Still nothing.

Swamped

Here's another one from What The Duck. Today's Boxing Day and this cartoon is for Xmas Eve. Why? Because I was swamped and didn't have the time.
