Who Stretches You?

A hip hop group contacted me yesterday about doing a website for them.  How cool?!  What’s the most surprising client or project that’s come your way lately?

WordPress and the web are the perfect threesome marriage for this group –

they’re already doing good job of attacking MySpace and Facebook, they’ve got branding and images going on.  Now they need More »

Karen Alison Testimonial

Wow! What a great testimonial from my new client, Karen Alison:

“Heather Cate is a joy to work with. Her clear, patient explanations of the workings of my website made it possible for even a non-technical person like me to understand. We discovered that vital aspects of my website needed attention. These were things I would not have known about if Heather hadn’t noticed them, but they will make a big difference to the success of my site. If you would rather spend your time doing your work than working on your website, I highly recommend that you contact Heather right now!”

I’m the Imelda Marcos of WordPress Plugins

I just realized that I collect WordPress plugins the way some women collect shoes or purses.

Does that mean I’m a Geek? Dang, I think it’s official. I’ve been skirting this issue for a long time. I like shoes and purses, too! Well, not so much purses, but now that I have a fabulous Omnia cell phone, that I loooove, but which is too More »

Wait on Your WordPress Upgrade

We love WordPress.  Totally.  And really believe in the structure and benefits of Open Source programming.  But like any complex undertaking, WordPress upgrades usually need some tweaking, even after hundreds (thousands?) of beta testers have run through a version.  Beta Testers are usually advanced users who really know what they’re doing and have the time, ability, and desire to play around with software, looking for problems and suggesting ways to fix them.  The upside is that they usually know more about how to do this than the regular user.  The downside is that the regular user has neither the time nor patience nor ability nor resources to recover from glitches that power users automatically avoid by using the very best procedures (which regular users generally don’t even know exist), and power users are able to quickly diagnose and recover from pitfalls, should they not have seen them coming.

And come they do.

Glitches occur with almost every WordPress upgrade.  They’re par for the course.  And for the average user, they’re easy to avoid.

Just don’t do any 2.x upgrades.  Wait until they come out with More »

Great Feedback

We have had some GREAT FEEDBACK lately! And we just want to share it with you, too! Here are some of our favorites:

• “My business has doubled and I spend half the time working that I did a year ago because of the work that I did with Honey Bee Buzz Marketing. Heather Cate's business coaching is wonderful; the process itself is more than worth the fees. Her process is totally different than the other people I looked into working with. It's like going to college. You learn to trust yourself, to honor and appreciate yourself and your business. It's not just a simple, thrown-together mechanical experience, it's a process of appreciation and discovery of yourself and your business.”
  —Barbara Fraser
• “Heather- I am in total awe of your web finesse! --Thanks for everything---”
  —Barbara Fraser Fraser Creative Expression #1 Google Listing for keywords

• “In just one brief consultation HoneyBeeBuzz Marketing provided feedback that made my practice appear more professional and presentable. I highly recommend their services.”
  —Bruce Cote Hands of Hope PR3

• “I can tell everyone: Heather Cate's advice was a godsend to me, for I was (and still am) largely innocent about how to design and promote sites. Thanks to her, that has not stopped me. I can recommend her services without hesitation. And she is a joy to work with!”
