Happy Birthday, Jorge Luis Borges!
The Google Doodle today celebrates the birthday of one of my favorite poets, and one of the most fun literary names to say. “Jorge Luis Borges” flows off the tongue so much better than “Shakespeare” or “Emily Dickinson”. Not that there’s anything wrong with their writing; far from it. One of my favorite works from ...

Last time we discussed what we call “egotistical” copy—web content that boasts only what the company can do, its qualifications, principals and values. Basically, ineffective written content that bores readers and serves them no purpose in terms of what the company has ...

Good Website Content Matters
So you’ve got a visually alluring and functioning website with a solid structure, filled with pretty graphics and of course some paragraphs describing your business, carelessly thrown around on random pages. That is all you need to grab your audience’s attention, right? Wrong. Written content has a lot of impact on the quality of a ...
