The Three Questions You Must Answer When Doing Video Marketing

Credit Cards, Preference Reversals, and Debt
| |
| My friend Herb argued in a recent column -- and I'm paraphrasing here -- that "debt is high and the end is nigh". I cordially disagreed with him on CNBC during one of our twice-weekly on-air visits, in part because I'm more sanguine about debt, about people's general competence to make basic financial decisions, and about changes in the economy that have made it rational for people to have more debt than they did in the past. I'm also considerably less convinced about the quality of the NIPA data (it overstates expenditures, and understates income) etc. |

Small Business Tips: Mid Year Business Review
| |
| I love the end of the financial year and that is not because I spent so many years at the Treasury Department! In January we set New Year’s resolutions but we often set them without clear indicators of success.

Where you are financially is a direct result of where you are emotionally, physically and spiritually.

6 Quick and Easy Accessibility Issues That Make Your Visitors Happy
| |
| As more and more users gain access to the web it becomes increasingly important to ensure that your website is accessible to all, not just a few. Just as businesses must comply with the American Disabilities Act to ensure proper access to customers with disabilities, businesses should do all they can to make their websites accessible to all users regardless of the means in which they access the site.
And of course not all accessibility issues involve meeting the needs of the disabled. What must be considered is the growing number of users that now access websites through non-traditional means, whether it be mobile phones or with images turned off. These users can still be your target audience and ensuring your site can be used through alternate avenues is essential to capturing that audience.
