The Rumblepuppy Cometh

After all the pain my wife went through (no joke, this is an astounding amount of stress and pain a woman endures during IVF) and all the personal hardships we went through, our baby girl will be coming soon.

Did you forget the marketing in your online marketing?

Search traffic and impressions and page rank and link building and keywords and all of that internet stuff is what most search marketers go completely batshit crazy about. Some search marketers will try to get traffic for almost any keyword that is even loosely related to their web page, and to me, they are wasting resources and wasting their time, and cluttering up the internet while they are at it. So doods, stop, you’re making me type in run-on sentences.

You know what? Fuck SEO.

He’s the one that hears the word “boobies” and pokes his head up as if the Continental Army just marched in.

Thesis Envy: The Problem with Thesis

First things first, I love the Thesis Theme from Chris Pearson (Yes, that’s an affiliate link.  Click on it, it’s good for you).  I’m running my own customized version of it here on rumblepup.  In fact, I’m running at least three others.  I’m sure you’ve...
