Making an avatar for a forum, blog, or other application is actually a pretty easy process once you know the site requirements.

However, regardless of how you see yourself, often the forum or the environment will control what type of avatar is appropriate. If you are on a business forum, perhaps an image of yourself, or professional photo is appropriate, but if you are on a social forum … Continue Reading

A question came in the other day as to why we did not have Macs in our offices so we could see the problems Mac users have when designing graphics for our application.

My dad (Bob Reynolds, CEO of Net Solutions) and I have shared an office since August of 2009. Not a big office, probably 12′ x 12′. At first this annoyed the crap out of me. He eavesdrops on my phone calls, he types loudly and we definitely operate with two different internal thermostats. After I got over the initial minor annoyances of sharing an office, I started to realize that there could be some real benefits to this new situation.

Bob has been in business forever. As far back as I can remember he and my mom have owned … Continue Reading

we were developing a site for a client and were 99% done when they called and said their current site was down. Rather than attempting to contact their current host and/or web developer to get the old site back up, we opted just to take the new site live. When I logged in to their current hosts control panel, I saw this message.

This client is an average small business owner and the message on the screen meant absolutely nothing to him. He didn’t know how to pull a … Continue Reading

Monday morning I came into the office and started filtering through a weekends worth of emails. Typically I am a little rushed to get through the emails, so I can get onto other items. This Monday was no different, I was reading and responding to my emails just as I normally would. Then something changed when I came upon this email. It literally stopped me in my tracks, and I actually read it three times before I moved on.

Now I am not sure what … Continue Reading
