Tips for the Solopreneur

I hope you’re enjoying the summer. I was in Montreal recently for the Grand Prix (and some terrible weather) and I am looking forward to going camping in a few weeks.
This month we’ve got an article about the “Website Obesity Crisis” (read: your page doesn’t have to be insanely long to be good), another about simplicity in User Experience design (UX) and whether or not it’s a good thing, and, last but certainly not least, a FREE SEO course for small business owners!
Enjoy!

They’re not talking about exactly the same thing – the above article is about content specifically, whereas this Wired article is about UX on the whole, but both raise good points. I suspect the truth is in between.
