A client requested that their entire site be password protected. I thought I could easily use .htaccess but found out that life with Wordpress is a bit more difficult.
Fortunately, the Wordpress developmnt community is robust and found this pluging along with this nice update to make it work with Wordpress 2.5+.
Yeah!
“In order to seize the Presidency in 1968, Nixon had to live down his history of nasty politicking, and he ran that year as a uniter. But his Administration adopted an undercover strategy for building a Republican majority, working to create the impression that there were two Americas: the quiet, ordinary, patriotic, religious, law-abiding Many, and the noisy, élitist, amoral, disorderly, condescending Few.”
After 40 years, maybe we can try something new…
We had a great time at Chow’s this past Saturday night. Thank you Sam and Sheri for the wonderful hospitality and good times!

What is right for one is right for all. Why can gay white men not see that? Why can “straight” white Hillary supporters not see that? We want equality. That is all. Nothing more. But certainly nothing less.
While I am overjoyed that the court did something Good™ in this one case, I am saddened that the Castro does not take a deeper look into their on racism and sexism…

What are personae?
User personae are archetypes of typical customers. They are based upon our research of your services and the information you have given us about your customers and their habits.
Personae consist of personal information about the user as well as their mindset and technological comfort level.
How does YVOD use personae?
YVOD practices User-Centered Design. We base many of our design decisions on the expectations of these personae. Personae act to give us a solid base upon which to architect and design the best possible site to address your needs and those of your visitors.
As we develop the Information Architecture and flesh out the design, we constantly

YVOD makes building websites quick and painless. We have developed a tried-and-true 6 Step process that our clients have called “quite enjoyable”. Hard to believe? Think about this for a second…
You know who your intended audience is. You may not know how to find them online (that’s our job) or to create a great looking website (that’s also our job) or even what needs to go on your website (again, our job). But you do know your business and you know how to come up with a few hundred words to describe what you do. You also know how to answer a few basic questions about design: What

Introduction: What is Important
YVOD’s approach to building websites is 100% client focused. Many businesses want to tell their own story. They spend a lot of time talking about their approach to solving problems and why they are so fantastic. While this is very good to know, it is of little importance on the web. A successful website must deliver what the visitor wants to see.
Step 1: Who Are Your Clients
YVOD likes to start the conversation by asking owners of websites to think about who is going to visit their site. We try to develop at least 3 “personae” of potential visitors. These personae may describe existing online visitors, desired visitors or existing offline clients that you wish to convert to online customers. What is important is to think deeply about who these visitors are.
