Do you remember when you were a kid and you got those brand new pair of tennis shoes? I remember when I got my first pair of Chuck Taylor Converse. They were not too unlike the ones pictured here, but mine were white. I remember so vividly the fact that I thought I could run much faster and jump much higher with those brand new shoes. I know now it was probably psychological, except for the fact that they didn’t have duct tape holding the toe part of the shoe on my foot. They were also quite a bit different than getting those hand-me-down shoes, but I digress.
Those of you that have been following along here over the last 5 years know that from time to time we tend to make some sweeping changes to our look and feel of the web site and blog (terms I believe are synonymous). This is the latest look and feel that we have made and I believe I can now blog better, write better, speak better and everything else has been taken up a notch. Like that kid that could run faster and jump higher, I feel invigorated. We will continue to always be testing new widgets and plugins and every tool out there, but for now it is clean and tidy here and I love it that way.
I have Debbie Lawrence of Lagniappe Marketing to thank for the new look and feel. She is amazing and allowed me to participate in what she calls the “Sausage Making” process of watching the new design come together. We are using Brian Gardner’s template and I recommend all of his work as he has some great themes to work with and to make your own designs. In fact, Debbie was the designer and coder and all-around sausage making queen for the site over at the Modern Media Man Summit which is another of my latest projects. That site is also a Studio Press theme. Thank you Debbie!
I expect things to pick up here a little since I have this new running faster and jumping higher ability. Take a look around and tell us your thoughts.
You can also see that we have added to the home page our sites at Bloggers For Hire and at Social Mediasphere TV. We will be picking up the pace there as well so feel free to grab those feeds too.
I have been preaching about blogging for a long time. I have been an evangelist and telling companies that they had to blog more they had to have a place for people to "join the conversation" and making it possible for them to connect with their customers. Like some of the preachers of the past, I am my own worst sinner apparently. I was reminded by people in my company that I am the worst person in the world to tell companies that they are not blogging enough or that they are not doing it right.
I have always been a child of television. I was born at the height of when television broke on to the scene as the next big thing, and I was doused with it’s essence from day one. To that end I have some things that are a part of my DNA I believe that makes me drawn to it like a moth to flame. That lure is now spilling over to my job here at One By One Media. I have taken One By One Media to the television. In my own mind anyway. I am feeling like Johnny Carson these days doing his thing.
I have recently launched 
Miami Vice, CSI Miami, these are the things that I refer to when someone talks about the location. I look back to what I have seen on television. Today as I sat on the front steps of a location in Coconut Grove, Florida, (I was told I couldn’t call it Maimi) I had visions of those times looking at blue water, people in shorts and beautiful weather.
I will be speaking at Wordcamp Miami as I did in Las Vegas on "Blogging for A Living", it is a presentation that I have given a number of times and therefore I wont have to prepare more than my usual, but more importantly, and perhaps more fun I will be doing a live radio show from BarCamp Miami courtesy of my client
