One of the lesser known WordPress features is snow. Yep, snow. If you head over to your settings page and scroll to the bottom, you’ll see a checkbox for snow. Check the box, save changes and check out your site. Snow will now be falling. Oddly enough, it only goes until January 4th and I’ve […]

Why is Google Hangouts So Bad?

Google is well-known for their ability to create great products. I don’t think I could live without Gmail, Google Analytics is fantastic too, and what would we do without search?!
