Brennan Scurlock
In October 2011, we featured an article on a little boy named Brennan Scurlock. Brennan's grandfather had submitted his website for our 'Site of the Month' contest. Brennan's story touched all of us. Since Brennan and his family are in Texas and Lunarpages in California, we never had the opportunity to meet him, but from what we are told, he had an infectious laugh and made many people very happy. Sadly, Brennan succumbed to his battle with neuroblastoma on Wednesday April 25, 2012. He touched so many lives and didn't even have the chance to realize it. He will be missed for sure, but thanks to his family, he will never be forgotten. Brennan's Buddies was created to help create awareness for neuroblastoma.

An Explanation of HTML5 for Beginners
If you’re an active designer or developer you’ve undoubtedly heard the term “HTML5” being thrown around almost as frequently as Apple, Google or Twitter. “HTML” stands for “Hyper Text Markup Language” and can be found in nearly every website on the web. HTML4 was released in 1997 and has been updated to handle the increasing demands modern technology has for the Internet. While HTML4 has been ‘tweaked’ to provide higher levels of interactivity and multimedia to webpages, it has its drawbacks and could not always keep up with the rich, dynamic content found online.
How to Ensure Your Website is Optimized for Top Speed
Websites that load at a snail’s pace are the worst. The Internet is supposed to be instant and should exceed or at least keep up with our fast-paces lives! So it should come as no surprise search engine spiders that crawl websites also hate to be kept waiting and frown upon sites that take a long time to load. Because both human visitors and search crawlers absolutely hate slow websites, any delay in the loading of your page could result in a reduction of traffic and revenue; something every Webmaster wants to avoid.
Tips Every Webmaster Should Keep in Mind to Improve On-Page SEO
It is common knowledge among Webmasters and Marketers that search engine optimization (SEO) is the backbone of a website or blog and has a lot to do with its success or failure online. Unless your online marketing campaign includes leveraging pay per click advertising or traditional marketing (TV, radio or print), more than likely no one will know you’ve created a new website—this is particularly true when you consider how many billions of pages search engine spiders have to crawl and index!
Improve Your Online Brand Management Using Blog Monitoring Tools
To manage a successful online brand management campaign, it is essential to know when and where a conversation related to your website or company is sparked; if for nothing else so you can positively engage into the conversation, giving a “human feel” behind a virtual webpage. While many mainstream sites have made this process seamless by offering search services internally, blogs must adhere to a separate set of rules. Despite the fact that blogs are usually interconnected, they are largely viewed by the search engines as separate entities and therefore lack an integrated search feature.

Ten Sites for Web Designers Looking for a Free Alternative to Photoshop
