Yours truly was interviewed by Mary Gay Marchese – the Public Relations Director at Markzware, the software company. Over the years, we have purchased a few of their products, most notably Flightcheck. For us, this application is indispensable as we run all our outgoing layout files through it to make sure there are no surprises when it’s time to print a project.
Today’s topic is targeted at website creators and promoters. Although I’ve worked with the design team here at Intrigue at helping build our corporate site, we haven’t fully explored the various options at promoting it. So I decided to do some research and learn some of the techniques needed at telling the world about Intrigue and intriguegraphics.com.
I created this blog as an adjunct to our main site. It’s partially an experiment and partially an indirect way to draw traffic in to our main site. Along the way, I’ve picked up many bits of tid that I get to implement over time. It’s about learning what works and there’s a bit of trial and error – and a whole lot of research to see how other people do this.

The second one was a summary for 2009, which is just January and a little over half of February.
Even though there’s just a month and a half worth of data for 2009, it was immediately clear that there is still some very useful data in that report. I don’t think the total numbers are all that important. What I was looking for was to spot any kind of trend. Yes, indeed, there is a definite trend happening.
Just going to vent a little about a minor frustration regarding a feature of the new (to me) Leopard OS on the Mac. What’s bugging me is the fact that finding files is something that should be a “no brainer” for the ubiquitous application “Finder”, right? In the old days of the Macintosh, that was [...]
After a long time away – nearly two years – we have returned to the intrigue blog. Yes, it was back in February of 2007 when I put the blog together. It was thrilling to get the first post out and online. Really it was a test to see how the whole process came together. [...]
