I've have moved GoodWebPractices.com to hosting with VPS.net! Find out why...

Choosing a web host is never easy. I created GoodWebPractices in 2007 and over the past 3 years I have changed website host a number of times. In today’s blog post, I will be discussing why I have had to change hosts, and what some of the advantages and drawbacks of choosing a shared hosting provider like HostMonster and MediaTemple over more expensive hosts like VPS.net cloud hosting.

Firefox is arguably the most powerful web browser available, partly because of its available add-ons, which include plugins and extensions. While these are commonly confused and misunderstood as synonymous, they’re actually different. Plugins help Firefox perform specific functions like playing various types of multimedia files and viewing special graphic formats.

There are thousands of available Firefox extensions, but here are just 7 geared toward helping you manage your life.

One of the things that I spend a little bit of time on each week is trying to find new applications to test out and integrate into my daily life. I want to be as efficient as possible with email, social networking, writing, and communicating in general. No doubt, after a few years of switching between applications, at some point I would be settling on one set of tools that allow me to perform all of my tasks very well and very efficiently.

Pamela Hazelton has a very simple focus when it comes to consulting clients on their eCommerce websites, and that focus is described in one word; Shopability. Now to me, shopability seems like a pretty broad topic of conversation, so I wanted to find out more from Pamela herself on what she does and how she helps her clients succeed.

The transcript below is from the interview that I had with her about eCommerce, Social Media and Mobile Devices. She has a lot of great insight into how people act when they use the web, and I'm very glad that she was able to have a talk with me about this.

If you have any questions for Pamela or if you would like to get in touch with her about your own projects, you can do so at her website or on Twitter, @pamelahazelton.
