This is the blog for my web design, development and marketing company, Red Kite Creative. Mostly what I'll be writing about is work-related but anything is fair game. Read more about me here...

A very productive May so far - two sites finished and launched, two new clients with signed contracts for mid-sized projects, several new hosting clients, and my business site now has a pagerank of 6. I got a Blackberry this week and am now wondering why I waited so long. And I’m be going to the WebVisions conference in Portland in two weeks.

I got news of this today, and signed up for it.
On March 19-23, Microsoft is sponsoring a live/online event featuring a large number of speakers and sessions. You can attend any of them online; there are several tracks, like any live conference - security, business financing and money matters, marketing and IT.
I know that this will be heavily tainted with the essence of Microsoft, but it’s free, some of it sounds like it might be useful, and it won’t hurt to spend an hour or two checking it out.
The registration screen was pretty nifty - although I did not appreciate the long signup process after choosing my sessions. Typical.

I’d love to go to Jill Whalen’s High Rankings Seminar and Workshop in Minneapolis this coming March. I’d love to. But it’s kind of expensive… even with the early bird discount.
I’m still thinking about it, though. I plan to go to one of her conferences this year, because I’m sure it will provide me with a stronger background in SEO. Maybe not this first one, though… Unless I get a great big SEO job between now and then…
I did take an online class in Search Engine Marketing a year or so ago. I found it helpful, but nothing’s been as helpful as the trial-by-fire of actually doing a large SEO project and having to learn by the seat of my pants by reading everything I can get my hands (or my browser) on.

I’m always on the lookout for promising web design/graphic design conferences to go to… Web Directions North will be held in Vancouver in February and will be sporting some major names in web design and development - Dave Shea, Kelly Goto, Molly Holzschlag, Andy Clarke… Sounds fantastic. I will definitely be giving this one some serious consideration.
