This last weekend was really interesting. I watched my sister's team win the College Softball Super Regionals for the Oregon Ducks, drove 11 hours in two days, and had time to watch The Internship after a long day.

People are what make a good website. Without people the Internet would be a dark and somber place. Facebook would be nothing without the millions of people who add pictures of their children, family videos, and share what they do day to day. Those people light up the technical side of the Internet, and give life to website code and CSS style sheets. This is also true for your own website. If no one is visiting and using your website then it isn’t living, and it isn’t working for your business.
