In case you’ve been in a cave for the past few weeks, the biggest unkept secret of the year was the unveiling of Apple’s new iPad device last week. (In case you missed it, just go to http://apple.com and check out Steve Jobs’ keynote presentation.)

The Cliff Notes version of the announcement is this: the iPad is about 1/2″ taller and wider than a 6″ x 9″ book, 1/2″ thick, and it weighs in at a mere 1.5 lbs. It’s basically a larger version of the iPod Touch, with a VERY SHARP hi-res screen (1024×768 pixels at twice the pixel density of regular LCD monitors).

It will eventually ship in two basic versions: WiFi only or WiFi + 3G phone service.

I’m absolutely fascinated with this device. It has been getting tons of press, and pundits have had all kinds of cool and even silly things to say about it. Here’s my take on it…

This is the first of what I hope to be a series of posts regarding how to set up and run membership sites quickly and easily.

I’ve recently had the privlege of looking over an entire printed set of material that came from Jimmy D. Brown’s Membernaire course, and I wanted to share my thoughts about it.

I ran into someone at a meeting recently and we started talking about online marketing and what we did.  Things shifted over to membership sites, and he mentioned that he had completed the Membernaire course and thought it was great.  I’ve been aware of it for a while, but I’ve never actually talked with anybody who had been through it.

Someone sent me an email thanking me for this list of “recommended plugins”.

I’m not sure I’d call these “recommended” plugins, per se, unless they fit a need you have.

Rather, just a bunch I’ve found in my travels that nobody really seems to discuss. They mainly focus on working with Pages, as well as a few heavy-weight ones that people don’t know about.

WP has two ways of posting things: As a “post” and as a “Page”.

People seem to think of Wordpress as little more than a blogging platform.

They just updated it to V2.9, and I thought I’d take a minute to share some insights in the hope that you’ll spend a little more time with it.

In V2.8, they added something I consider AMAZING from a technical standpoint — the ability to update plugins, themes, and even WP itself right from within WP! WOO-HOO! They’ve managed to solve a very complex problem there, and I think it’ll just explode the use of WP.
