New Search Commander Site Live

3rd June 2007

I began working on my new website for Search Commander back in 2006.  It was always a lower priority than anything else I had to do, so all I ever did was a 301 redirect for  searchcommander.com to my old domain, pdxtc.com, and I assumed I would get back to it someday soon.

About three weeks ago, I woke up to a dead monitor, and when I purchased a new 22 inch flatpanel,  I had a chance to see what most people were viewing at pdxtc.com. I couldn’t believe all the wasted space, and how old, tired and out of date it looked after only five years.

I realized I needed to get off the stick,  and two different programmers, completed the new Search Commander,  and have integrated that look into not only my site and my Wordpress blog, but into a Joomla installation as well, at search marketing for rookies.

I had been meaning to roll it out for a couple of weeks now, and day after day, I would find something else I wanted to fix. Finally, I’ve decided to take Guy Kawasaki’s advice from his 2006 Webmaster world.

He said in his speech that one of his mantras was “Don’t worry, be crappy”.  Although that sounds bad, his point was that if you strive for perfection before release of a product or service until it’s “perfect” then you may never get it out.  (What if Microsoft did that for WIndows?)

A special thanks goes out to Charlie Stanley at Fierce Thought, who conceptualized and created all of the artwork and headers for all sections of the new design.
