This week’s show is about two things. First we talk about SSL certificates, what they are, and why Google’s changes in Chrome and their search algorithm means. Second, we talk about clear thinking through clear writing. Using an example I ran across yesterday we poke at the notion of saying what you mean.

This week’s show is about two parts. First we talk about “webpages that never update”. After a recent conversation with a client about a Bloomberg Radio segment he heard about millennials not wanting to visit websites that never update, we parse this thought. Second we talk about forms. Specifically how hard they are to complete. We talk about all the ways you can increase their use. This is especially useful for surveys.

This week’s episode has three somewhat random parts. First we talk about “save the date” cards and invitations. Those always have struck me as a sign of laziness. Second, we talk about Office 365 and Salesforce. We talk about how they can be integrated into an organization and whether there’s value. Lastly, we talk about website usability and how more than just gender factors into how you put together your site.
