It’s not a good idea. They have access to your site, and if they have done their job properly and it is well promoted, should be earning you revenue through sales or referals, and at least be placed in front of your customers eyevalls. If you try to screw your web designer, bad things …
I am building a local directory of PDX bars. I’ve build a solid foundation for traffic/search optimization (see my article on using MOD_REWRITE), and hopefully will have displaced citysearch which currently dominates results pages of google and yahoo when searching for information about a specific bar.
One thing I’m building is the ability for promoters/managers/bar owners …

I’ve been building a database of bars and nightclubs in my home city of Portland.
However, I didn’t like the messy URLs generated when I passed the “bar_id” parameter to the PHP script:
<a href=bar_info.php?bar_id=1> Shanghai Tunnel </a>
I wanted a nice clean way to make the URL contain both the bar’s name, extract information based on …
I’ve been designing my business cards for my Portland Web Design Company today. I have not designed anything for print in quite some time, it’s been interesting trying to figure out a good uncluttered layout that contains all of the necessary information.
I’m trying to keep my branding consistent with my web properties without overshadowing …

I’m trying not to talk about politics. What can I say, I’m a fatalist with a slight Libertarian lean.
Anyway, here is my helpful article: <a href=http://www.kyleritter.com/archives/2004/11/image-search-optimization/>Image Search Optimization</a>

So I was chatting with my friend Matt Steckler, a guy who at least once a year pulls off some zany scheme.
For awhile, he was broadcasting fan commentary via cellphones from Seattle Supersonics games. As it picked up listenership, he was served with a Cease and Desist from the NBA.

It is wise to compress images from your digital camera BEFORE you send them. And just because you have superduper high resolution camera, it doesn’t suddenly make you Ansel Adams. You remain you, with a high resolution crappy snapshot.
It is also wise to make sure the pictures would be of any interest to the person …

But I like using basic simple tools with few bells and whistles.
I still use simple text to write HTML, I don’t update IM clients much, and I don’t have a fondness for many new versions of software. It’s been awhile since anything truly significant was changed in Photoshop, I only use Fireworks for slicing and …
