I'll be honest and say that it struck a nerve with me... and so I begin my rant in defense of JavaScript. <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2011/10/11/a-rant-in-defense-of-javascript/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I needed to find a variety of contractors to give us quotes for our patio extension. I opened my laptop and quickly searched for concrete/landscaping/decking contractors in my area.

After looking through the search results for a few minutes, I caught myself contacting only the companies that had websites. I shouldn't have been surprised by that (after all, I build websites for a living) but it illustrates a very important lesson: If you don't have a website, how much business are you losing? <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2010/04/26/why-your-business-needs-a-website/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With all of the problems we've been seeing with our email lately, I have to wonder what we (i.e. the IT/Web industry) are doing wrong. I'm no expert in cloud computing, but we as a society are becoming so reliant on our service providers that consumers are powerless to prevent these kinds of catastrophes. This year we're having problems with our email. . . what is going to happen next year? <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2009/09/25/cloud-computing-the-end-of-days/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week Google announced that they were releasing an updated version of their Chrome browser. Reading the blog post, I was particularly interested to see that they bragged about increasing their (already fast) JavaScript performance.

I installed the new version of Google Chrome about 10 minutes ago, and I honestly don't see any improvement in my JavaScript. In fact, I've noticed that JavaScript is much slower than before on my local host! I had similar problems with Firefox 3.5 when I first upgraded. . . and I later uninstalled Fx3.5.

What are people's thoughts on the new version of Chrome? <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2009/09/16/google-chrome-3-0/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago I finally fixed the issues I was having with the permalinks for my blog. I wrote a post titled Wordpress Permalinks on GoDaddy, where I detailed exactly how to fix the problem.

Today I decided to check my blog's analytic data to see how the new permalinks have affected traffic to the site. Not surprisingly, they helped. . . though I was a little shocked to see a 55% increase in organic search traffic! <a href="http://www.akawebdesign.com/2009/09/08/the-benefit-of-permalinks/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
