  • Happy New Year, everyone! Was the end of 2018 as much of a whirlwind for everyone else as it was for us over here? Whew!This week, we're looking ahead to the future. What are you most proud of in 2019? Nope, that's not a typo! This question popped up in my inbox in a newsletter from executive coach Barbara Churchill, along with a reminder that visualizing what you want is a key part of reaching your goals. One thing I've learned to do is work backwards. When you know your end goal, you can figure out the proper steps that will get you there, rather than just blindly doing stuff. So, where do you want to be at the end of the year? What do you need to do to get there?
  • Some of y’all have gotten in touch with me recently because you’re seeing “not secure” warnings on your website. Right now, Google Chrome (and some other browsers) will trigger a “not secure” warning for all pages containing password and/or credit card input fields that are not using HTTPS (rather than HTTP). However, the ultimate plan is to mark ALL HTTP pages as “not secure”, and Google Chrome will begin putting this into place in July of this year. -You can see how this could be a problem: if your site displays a “not secure” warning, a website visitor may reasonably interpret that to mean you have a security issue with your website and leave, causing you to lose website traffic!-To remedy this: switch your website from HTTP to HTTPS. You can do this by obtaining an SSL certificate and setting it up on your site. This process is going to vary depending on what company your website is hosted with. Here’s what I suggest:-A) Check to see what plan you have with your web host. Some hosting plans have SSL certificates included, and you just need to click a few buttons to set it up!-B) If that doesn’t work out for you, contact your web host directly and ask them what the process is, and cost involved (if any), to set your account up with an SSL certificate.-In many cases, you’ll be able to set up and install a free certificate from Let’s Encrypt, but not all hosts allow this. Also, if you’ve been thinking of switching web hosts, now may be the time! There are lots of great hosting plans out there that come with a free SSL certificate included. DM me if you want to chat about my fave web hosting companies!

  • Is your branding feeling stale? Try adding in a new color or shade! Besides the gold, the only other accent color I had associated with my brand was dark navy. I've always liked the shade, but sometimes I had problems working with it because it provides so much contrast and is not the most versatile. After 4+ years of having the color be a part of my branding, I wasn't ready to say goodbye...but I needed more! So I decided to incorporate the medium blue into my branding, and I've been loving it! It's amazing what just a single color can do to make things feel new again.-Having a consistent "look & feel" to your brand is important, but I am all for subtle changes here and there to keep things fresh!-Get more color inspiration at our website: dinosaurstew.com (resources section)
