Yahoo Small Business finally upgrades to MYSQL5

Well, they finally did it. I think Yahoo had too many CEOs last year and they couldn't decide what direction to take the company, but whatever the reason was, they finally got around to upgrading their database technology after many years. This change mostly effects users who have WordPress websites and/or blogs because WordPress has new requirements for their new version 3.2. This means you need to have PHP5 and MYSQL5 in order to run WordPress. Any versions lower than that will no longer be supported. Congratulations, Yahoo. You joined the world again.

I am currently experimenting with html5 as an alternative to Flash to play audio and video on the latest html5 friendly browsers including the iPad.

I am developing customized content management websites and blogs using WordPress. This allows clients to maintain their own information within the framework of their own website without having to traditionally depend on a webmaster.

I offer cost effective promotional websites for small businesses and individuals who are looking for a professional online presence. I especially love working with writers and poets, helping them get the word out about their work. A promotional website is a perfect way for people to learn about your service or business. Each design is geared towards the client's needs. I enjoy working with people and helping them get their voice heard on the web. I communicate with my clients throughout the design process.

The cost depends on your budget and the features you are looking for. Since your site is unique in its needs, I'll give you a quote based upon your particular requirements & desires. And, if you have a particular budget, please let me know what it is - I can likely come up with a solution to fit.

I use HTML & CSS, and I apply basic search engine optimization. I also assist the client in the promotional phase of their website if needed.

The expertise of my past career focused on applications programming for the midrange computers in New York City. I decided to enhance my career and build websites to combine my technical and creative talents.

I offer my technical ablilities combined with my designing talents.
