The End of Friday Distractions
I think I’m going to take a break from friday distractions for a while. I’m noticing that my blog is starting to become a Friday distraction video archive with very little posts of substance and I would like to change that. So, I’m going to stop posting Friday distraction videos for a while. If I can start posting more often then I might bring them back but we will see.
If you are a fan of Friday distractions and are bummed that I won’t be posting them anymore feel free to leave a comment. If there is a large outcry I may reconsider but for now I’m taking a break.

10 Reasons Why Media Temple Rocks
I understand that I might be coming a little late to this party, but I thought it deserved a post anyway. A little background first, up until about a week ago I had a virtual private server (VPS) with HostMySite.com (HMS). I had been a customer of theirs for about 2 years and was pleased with the service and offerings. But recently I wanted to try some new things that required an updated version of PHP. HMS said I couldn’t get the newer version of PHP without upgrading my account and changing control panels over to CPanel. Needless to say I was saddened by this news so I started shopping around.

Implementing Facebook Connect (Part 3) – Accessing Data from Facebook
About a month ago I posted a continuation of my Implementing Facebook Connect series on how to establish a connection to Facebook. In this post I am going to look at using that connection we established to access user data and render it on a page.

More to Come…
Woosh… it’s been a mega busy last two weeks. Between my full time job and my “other” job I have had little time to blog. Determined that I needed to find a new hosting company a week or two ago so I have also been managing a server migration and anyone who has been through a server migration knows what I’m talking about there. I’ve got a total of 9 or 10 web sites now… that number suprised me; they add up real quick. Anyway, everything is pretty much migrated at this point and things are starting to calm down.
I still have a post of two regarding Facebook connect to get finished as well some commentary on why I had to find a new hosting company. All of this and more is on the way so stay tuned!

Selling Campaign Monitor to Your Customers
I am a big fan of the e-mail marketing app Campaign Monitor (CM) as you can see in my recent post 10 Reasons Why Campaign Monitor Rocks. Shortly after writing that post I decided to try and introduce CM to my users and see if I can sell them on the program. I developed a promotional site, I rebranded CM to match my chosen color scheme and logo and have started marketing it to my users. In this post I will outline why I choose to resell CM, what I did to get everything up and running and what my plans are for the future.
