Music & Work

I’m going to stray off the usual web-related discussion this time around and talk about something that can have an impact on all of us while we’re working, and that’s music. It may be an odd topic to be on a site like Loggerhead’s, but I think it has quite an effect on all of us, whether we realize it or not.

Here at Loggerhead, you can almost always find Cale (the designer) or myself (the programmer) listening to music while we’re doing our respective jobs. Not only do we appreciate music, but we’ve actually found out that it can help us focus and get in whatever mindset best suites the kind of work we’re doing. Often for Cale, that’s… read more

Do I Need a Mobile Website?

I’ve been asked quite a few times over the past few years about “mobile” websites. By using this term, most people mean a website that can be viewed on mobile devices (cell phones being the most popular device), and usually they’re asking if their site can be viewed on a mobile device, or if a site could be built for them that can be.

With more and more people owning phones with data plans and internet access (just go to any place with a bunch of people, and take note of how many of them are using their phones), it’s no wonder that website visitor statistics from mobile devices are growing enormously. Just think of how many people you know… read more

Tips For Choosing a Domain Name

A website’s domain name can often be overlooked when you have pages, content, pricing and many other things going through your mind during the planning stages of a website, but it can actually be one of the post important aspects to the website and its success.  Just like your business’s name makes it unique and memorable, your domain name does the same for you on the internet, plus much more. Below are some tips for choosing the best domain name for your website.

1. Include Your Business’s Name
As I mentioned, your business’s name is what makes it unique, and often it’s what people will be thinking of when they try to find you online. By using your business’s name… read more

Why you really need to upgrade from Internet Explorer 6

Are you still using Internet Explorer 6? If you are, what if I told you that I could save you 10 minutes of your time, better secure your computer from viruses and hackers, and make many people happy, all at the same time? Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? It is! All you have to do is upgrade your browser! If you don’t believe me, continue reading (you’ll lose that 10 minutes I was talking about, but it will still be worth it) and I’m sure you’ll be convinced by the end.

I could make a very long list of what’s wrong with IE6, but I’m going to stick to the main points so you can start downloading… read more

What RSS Is and Why You Should Use It

So much content is available to us these days over the internet, and keeping up with all of it can be pretty difficult at times. A few years ago, I could spend hours checking on a handful of sites every day for new content. Not only did that take a lot of time, it was also difficult to keep track of what I had viewed already and what was new. Luckily, I found out about RSS feeds and “subscribing” to sites, and what a difference that has made!

Essentially, what RSS (and other labels such as “Feed”, “XML” or “Atom”) is, is a standardized format in which websites can publish (syndicate) updates that have been made to their website. Since… read more

What is programming?

What is programming?Now that Loggerhead Marketing has a shiny new blog, I’ve been thinking about what I should write about for my very first blog post. As a programmer, I’ll be mainly sticking to things related, in one way or another, to programming and technology and its effects on websites and the internet. With changes to the internet and how we use it happening so rapidly, I have so many things I’d like to discuss, but I think it makes sense to start off talking about one of the most basic topics – what is programming?

Often when people ask me what I do and my response is “I’m a programmer”, they just nod their head in agreement accompanied by a blank… read more
