Don’t Make the Mistake of Only Being Social Online

Don't Make the Mistake of Only Being Social Online

We wake up in the morning and check our Facebook news feeds, our emails, any new tweets we may have missed overnight, our LinkedIn messages, our Google+ circles and anything else we’ve connected ourselves to in the ever growing online world.

Introducing the NEW bkmacdaddy.com! (plus Why I Redesigned It)

Introducing the NEW bkmacdaddy.com! (plus Why I Redesigned It)

The fact that you are reading this means you are currently looking at the new design of bkmacdaddy designs’ online home, bkmacdaddy.com (unless you’re reading this in a RSS feed reader, in which case I recommend you break out and visit the site.) It has been over 5 years since this site was redesigned, and although it was overdue I never saw it as much of a priority because I consistently received compliments on it, even as recent as a month ago.…
