Dear Fedex: enough notices

Thoughts by John (Article #258)

Just a small thought: why does FedEx send a freakin email notice to registered users for every tiny outage they have? I understand the desire of any major company to project that they're on top of things. But, there is a boundary between saying, "Hey, we're here and we know when we screw up" and being overly demonstrative in that effort.

It's obnoxious, FedEx. Quit it.

Welcome!

Wonder where to start with your web design business?

This blog follows along with my efforts to build and grow a website design business, Pro Content and Design.

The goal of this blog is to fill in blanks that may be empty as you get your business rolling.

This blog, particularly the source code section, is not intended for beginners. If you are not comfortable with databases, Ajax, DOM objects and other advanced methods, I strongly suggest you go take a look over at W3 Schools before even reading -- let alone tinkering with -- any of the code here.

I hope this blog has some value to web designers as they attempt to get their businesses going.

Good luck, and happy reading.

Thank you,

I highly recommend Art of the Start if you have no idea where to start with marketing.
