- No regional brand?! Oh, we’ve got trouble, my friends! March 11, 2010Ryan Spain and the Heartland Partnership are cooking up a new idea: The idea behind the project is to brand the Peoria region with a tag line and, perhaps, another logo. It would be a comprehensive approach to selling the region to tourism groups and those who could come to Peoria on business, Spain said. “I would argue [...] […]

Any of you using a Buffalo TeraStation?
I am going to go out on a limb and say that Bill is messing with the theme/format of the blog…again.
…and this new theme is the worst yet…
Bring back the theme that looked like a newspaper! (no joke intended…)
Got to agree with Tony on this theme — it’s very distracting. Ads ads everywhere. I have to look and scroll to find the posts, that get lost in the ads. Before I could ignore them easily, now they are right in my face!
Take a google approach and keep the ads limited, segregated and off to one side. There for those that like, but the content of the page is easily accessible and readable.
