I literally don't even want to do my web design business without them now. Seriously great support - the best I have ever experienced from a tech provider anywhere. Not sure what any complaints are about but so far I have none about getting help when I need it.

I enjoyed reading this even though my first thought on finishing was "I can't believe he gave it up!" I have done my first two Sprints this summer and signed up today for my first Tri of 2015 in April. I can't wait! And I am nervous. 8 months in advance. Lol!

I did not get around to recapping this but I did it, it kind of sucked (gravel is a beyotch!!) and I am unsure if I will do it again but Anne Marie will likely talk me into it so expect to see me there next year. :D

Thanks Jason... I wanted to get used to the bike before even coping with being clipped in. It is outside waiting for me to get on it a bit today - by next week I hope to be actually training on it, on the road!

Re: Does Your Content Play By Facebook’s New 20 Percent Rule?

Kris Colvin — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 12:49:55 -0000

Facebook clearly has an 80/20 rule.... 80% of my screen is filled with marketing crap from them, yet they only want me to use 20% of my page image for it. Nice job, chumps. I hate FB.

Re: Scott D. Pierce: ESPN and NBC are still hating on Real Salt Lake | The Salt Lake Tribune

Kris Colvin — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:18:06 -0000

Interesting numbers. I would be upset as a RSL fan too I'm sure. This comment is inaccurate though: "Other than David Beckham, MLS, ESPN and NBC have failed to market a single soccer star." NBC broke ground on MLS36 last year and featured 6 (i think it was) soccer players, none of them Beckham. MLS did not really tout Beckham over others in the last two years... he sold out stadiums just because LA went there, on his own recognizability.

The pattycake comment IS epic and funny given this picture, even though penned by a total tool. MLS is obviously beyond that, as people who have real input are aware. Smart fans have no trouble seeing something funny in a photo of our players... this national tv coverage issue is not quite as funny.

Re: How To Enhance Your Tumblr Site

Not sure how I missed this Allision, but you can't paste the url, you have to embed the Wufoo code into the page into the HTML and it may require some work-around code. We have an example of it here: http://weheartstudios.tumbl... but the code behind the scenes doesn't look very simple so I will see if I can get some clear/easy instructions.

Re: To Answer or Not to Answer… That is Apparently the Question for Some Businesses Online

Kris Colvin — Fri, 11 May 2012 11:40:43 -0000

Update: the business did answer, and with lots of details. Possibly they Liked in lieu of having an immediate answer but the lesson here is to think about what the customer will think about that. Waiting for the right answer would have been better as the Liking just confused me!

Re: Conversation Agent: How did You Do it?

Kris Colvin — Tue, 01 May 2012 10:28:51 -0000

Very helpful Valeria!! As you have probably surmised, I struggle with consistency in blogging. I have plenty to say and should be sharing it, but it gets deprioritized. I LOVE this line:

"You must act when you don't know how it will all end."

That pretty much applies to my whole life. Thanks for being a great teacher!

Re: Why Tumblr?

Kris Colvin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 08:44:58 -0000

Irene, Tumblr might be a good way for you to have an easy to create website, and you can embed paypal buttons for payment into a post OR if you can figure out the coding or hire a web developer, they can put it in the sidebar so it is always on the page. There are some beautiful themes to choose from at http://www.tumblr.com/themes - some free, and some premium from $9-$50 that are stunning: http://www.tumblr.com/theme...

I will fix the link if not working here for the comparison article. It is here: http://freshid.com/2011/12/...

Tumblr is going to give you a "blog" format, with chronological posts so that means you will need to add new content regularly. You can do Pages (like about Services) but if you don't want to blog, yet need an attractive option for a business website, check out http://virb.com - they have lovely themes and cost $10 a month, all inclusive to create and host the site. Check out their showcase for what's possible: http://virb.com/showcase

Best of luck to you!

Re: (REPEAT!) Dear JC Penney: A Logo Change is Not Rebranding

Kris Colvin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:35:02 -0000

Dear Anonymouse (spelling intentional),

I wouldn't respond to this troll-like comment except that you have some facts wrong and I need to correct them in case prospects read your pithy remarks and think you know... well, anything. I am fairly certain you don't know much of anything based on your ability to find this site/blog yet inability to speak with accuracy about anything going on here.

A. We're an agency, I'm not a freelancer who can't get a job, I have three partners and a downtown KC office. Google me.

B. This is not a "social-networking-101-blog" though I can see how you'd make that mistake, not knowing much of anything.

C. It's THEIR, not "THERE so called professional knowledge..."

D. I'm pretty sure the creatives who worked on this campaign haven't read our humble blog. Interesting you make the assumption they are reading it now, since your comments are directed to them and not me.

E. I'm so glad you've been in strategic branding for 15 years. I've been in the business of serving clients since 1993 myself. Before that, I worked at JCP as a visual merchandiser and I do care about their brand, which I state in this post. I am for real, yet don't know or give a fig who you are since you're too ashamed of yourself and insecure about your opinions to represent a real person online.

Thanks for stopping by today and littering up the internet with your meaningless commentary. I guess it's a slow branding day, huh? Back to work for me. Adios.

This is an issue I feel others will have too.

Re: (REPEAT!) Dear JC Penney: A Logo Change is Not Rebranding

Kris Colvin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:16:23 -0000

No real conspiracy here - I found out about the logo change because this post was getting hit repeatedly and only had time for a short update.

Re: (REPEAT!) Dear JC Penney: A Logo Change is Not Rebranding

Kris Colvin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:15:50 -0000

Though I wonder if your firm has something to do with JCP, Christina, having researched who you are, and this is the cause of the snappychops remark, I stand by my comments. I got the catalog in the mail, and it is visually stunning with vastly improved copy. But the logo standing alone does not show all of the many, many elements that make up this campaign. The ads that have been on TV so far are screeching and annoying. And the nod toward "America" is a bit of lip service as we all know that some percentage reaching half or majority of the merchandise is bound to have been manufactured outside this country.

Will this be enough to keep JC Penney relevant? I hope so, as some of the stuff in the catalog was intriguing. Will it be enough to make me get in my car and actually go find a store? Probably not. It's not like I'm not attached to the brand from a sentimental perspective - I began my career there as a young person.
