Best Practices: The fH All Stars Strike Back

Ladies and gentlemen of the Internet, your beloved Best Practices blogger has been accused of chicanery and shenanigans! <Pause for horrified collective gasp> I know… I know… I can’t believe it myself.

Although it seems like I start every one of my blog posts these days with some commentary about the weather in Austin, yesterday’s  events were so momentous that I would rather be labeled as a formulaic writer than not disclose what occurred to you, my ever so loyal reader(s).

Best Practices: Frequently Asked Questions (Content Organization)

Apologies for my extended absence, my loyal reader(s). The intrepid souls that populate the halls of faithHighway are so devoted to their work, that some choose even to come to the office when infected with unidentified strains of the influenza virus. While I admire their devotion, if someone here gives me the flu or any [...]

Did you know that 55% of adults in America use a handheld device access the Internet on a regular basis?
