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.

Testimonials from Loggerhead Marketing Web Design & SEO Customers

We have had nothing but good comments about the information and layout on the website. Our manufacturers are happy with it and the customers like it because it can be easily navigated. The two things I was looking for originally from the site have been achieved. More customers are having direct communication with their salesperson and we have somewhere to send people looking for information on our company without going through a long conversation over the phone at the office.
