For anyone in the Edmond area, there’s a marketing educational event coming up. The Marketing Rxpo is a free educational forum focusing on marketing awareness. Vendor space is available (and free) for marketing related business.
The Rxpo is on Tuesday, July 14, from 10am - 1pm. It will be at 2575 Kelly at Kelley Point Parkway. It’s sponsored by PMS, Jersey Mike’s and The Edmond Sun.
There will be an expert panel including: myself; Steve Patterson, Publisher of the Edmond Sun; Ken Moore, President and CEO of the Edmond Chamber of Commerce; Michael Butler, Gold Star Networking Group; Michael Morrison, Owner of Comtech Design Print & Mail and others. We will answer your questions on how to market in this economy.
This is an educational event. I will not be there to sell websites, but to help educate the public and offer advice.
There will be door prizes, goodie bags, and a free lunch provided by Jersey Mike’s for those who attend the Q&A panel.
Feel free to RSVP on Facebook. We hope to see you there!
People always find it humorous to make fun of me for the excessive amount of applications on my Mac’s dock. Despite the torture, I have always justified each application’s position because I use every one on a daily basis. Finally, Dave (the other designer), came to my rescue and showed me a wonderful tool that clears my dock. All you need to do is add your most used applications to your Finder window, and you’re golden. Here’s what it looks like:
And here’s how it’s done: navigate to your Applications folder in Finder, and drag the desired app next to the “search” field. Hold it there until it gives you the green + symbol and drop it. And you’re done! If you want to open a file in that particular app, just drag the file over the icon and it’ll open right up! No more right-clicking to “open with” a certain application.
If these applications aren’t in use, it frees up your dock and no one will have a reason to make fun of you. And, if you have quite a few windows open, your dock doesn’t squash to a microscopic blob.
Thanks to Dave, myself and our new programmer, Amber Hanks, we now have a new look for our webmail. Dave designed it all, I coded the inside pages, and Amber coded the login page.
We’re also looking for suggestions on how our webmail can be improved. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding user interface, features, etc., send them our way!

Business owners in OKC- Social networking workshops where you learn in front of actual computers! http://tandsgo.com/social March 12 & Apr 2
Blog, etc.
If you’re a business owner in the Oklahoma City area, there are some upcoming social networking workshops that may be useful for you. They’re showing small business owners how to use Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn without spending tons of time or money.
Best of all, you’re sitting in front of an actual computer while learning. So you’re actually doing it while there, and can ask for help if you need it.
They’re currently showing workshops on March 12th and April 2nd. Check out more at their website: http://tandsgo.com/social
Of course, you don’t have to use these exact exceprts. Feel free to use your own words, and you can even mention that you’re only blogging it to see if you can win. Thanks all, and good luck!
This week was a very exciting one for us here at T&S Web Design! We’ve launched three new websites this week. Check them out and let us know what you think.

T&S is offering workshops for Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. There are a couple of things that differentiate us from others offering similar workshops:
Hands-on training
Our workshops are set in actual computer labs. You’ll actually set up your social networking website accounts right then and there during the workshops, if you haven’t already. Rather than taking notes and wondering later exactly we did everything, you can try it out and ask us questions immediately.
Spend less time
As with many of our endeavors, we’re focusing on small business owners. And if you’re a small business owner, you don’t have a lot of spare time. You may have seen your children or grandchildren spending hours and hours weekly (or even daily) on MySpace or Facebook.
Well, the good news is that you can get a lot of cheap marketing out of those websites without spending tons of time on them. We’ll teach you how to spend just an hour or two a week on the social networking websites and get some great use out of them.

My name is Hanna Roach and I am the Marketing Director here at T&S Web Design and this is my first blog experience ever.
For my first blog I’m just going to let people know why T&S had no one at the EYP luncheon today. Tim and I were on our way to the luncheon, and we stopped to help a guy (named Randy) who had a flat tire. I contributed by sitting in the car while Tim actually changed the tire. Go Tim! Here’s some actual documentation of the event:
This is the kind of great service you can expect from T&S Web Design.
P.S. If you are from the Edmond Chamber of Commerce, you shouldn’t charge us for not going to the luncheon, we were doing a good thing.
Note from Tim - Of course, we don’t really want or need our money back from the Chamber, Hanna was just kidding. We are sorry we had to miss a great Chamber event that had a packed house, but are grateful we were able to help Randy out.
