Changing of the seasons is a nice benefit to living in the northeast US. I always enjoy seeing the colorful leaves in the fall.
With colder weather approaching, is your website ready for winter? Even if yours is not a seasonal business, use this opportunity to update your site with something new and fresh. We can help!
See you next time!
SUDOKU CHALLENGE:
The answer to this question should be simple: you. But unfortunately the obvious answer is not always the correct answer.
If you personally went online to Network Solutions, GoDaddy or some other registrar, and followed the steps to secure your domain name, you can stop reading now. But if your web developer or even one of your company's employees obtained your domain name for you, or you got your domain name too many years ago to remember, then you might want to verify that you own the name.*
Unfortunately, ignorant or unscrupulous developers can and do register domain names in their own names, rather than their clients' names. At the very least, if something happens and the developer goes out of business, it can be difficult to gain control of your name. At worst, if you decide to part ways with the developer and the parting is not amicable, they might hold your domain name ransom. When you have built your brand around your website, either scenario is a nightmare. Be especially wary when it comes to "free" domain names, which are often registered in the name of the person creating the site.
So how to check?

QUICK TIPSSometimes when viewing a website, you want to keep that page open but also see a different webpage. Some browsers (including Firefox and IE7) let you do that with tabbed windows. But if your browser doesn't support tabbed windows, or if you want to see two pages side-by-side, open a new browser window by holding down the Control Key and tapping N. Both windows will initially display the same page, until you navigate to a new page in the new window.
