Now, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but lately GoDaddy’s site loads EXTREMELY SLOW. That, coupled with my already slow Internet connection, made it impossible for me to accomplish my task.

Easy Ways To Let Visitors ...
Web 2.0 is all about the conversation, and much of that conversation comes from letting visitors comment on your site’s articles and pages. But much of that technology has been so far reserved for blogs or sites that have been programmed to allow comments. What about your lonely little static web site that you lovingly built...
