The Wittenbergs // Simone and Carson were married in the summer of 2000, in a small backyard wedding in Kelowna. We've been married for 12 years and have 3 beautiful girls and a handsome little boy. And NO, we didn't keep having kids until we had a boy. Oh yeah, we also have a dog.
Simone's a family and birth photographer in Kelowna and Carson is a trucker who also runs a web design and SEO business.
WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff.
Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.
Just wanted to jot down a quick blog post with my thoughts about two blog posts about speed. Matt Cutts has been writing bothon his own blog andon the official Google Webmaster Central Blog to tell everyone what we knew was coming: site speed is now an official ranking factor.
Now I want to remind you that I’ve been writing about site speed for quite a while. I wrote aboutWordPress template optimization (a quite dated post now, btw) back in january 2008. And even in april 2007 I wrote about the effect a slow server could have onhow Google spiders your site.
Sam Tse a.k.a The Big Chinaman is a friend of mine. If you’ve ever met Sam you would understand why they call him this. He is the tallest Chinese man I have ever met and he has a heart of gold. Sam worked along side me in Vancouver at a place called “The Warehouse“.
Sam is now working with a missions organization in Columbia. He has a blog where you can keep up with all the latest goings on in his life.
If visitors have a hard time navigation through the site to find what they are looking for, many of them will leave. I’m sure we’ve all been in the position of the frustrated visitor. To make things easier, navigation should be given plenty of thought and attention. The pages that are most important or most commonly sought after should be very easy to find, and navigation should be logical and intuitive. Larger sites can use a sitemap and/or a sitewide search to help visitors who want to use them.
Simone and I took the kids to the Kamloops Wildlife Park, with my parents and sister. We had never been there before and thought it would make a spring break day fun for all of us.
We packed up the family and headed to Kamloops looking forward to some fun at the zoo. We had a great time.
As soon as we got there the first thing was saw was the big Grizzly Bear taking a nap, man their big. We made our way through the birds of prey exhibit, as we headed to catch the train for a rail tour around the park. While we were on the train the conductor pointed out that the cougars were out and about and mentioned that they usually stay pretty hidden during the day. It was cool to see them, but they were on the other side of the enclosure so we didn’t get a good look at them.
