We’ve got a lot of friends using WordPress (WP) these days, and many have a question or two.
I’ve spoken with folks who wish they could sit down with their peers and see how they use WP, I’ve also talked with people who wish they could just run their site more smoothly.
Well I think it would be helpful to get a group together, have a website with links to all the best plugins and have answers to common questions and help a group out.
If this idea appeals to you, please fill out the survey below so I can work out a plan.

We’ve been pretty quiet at Focus Web Works lately.
This is partly because of projects and partly because our awesome clients have asked for some research and development.
If you missed it, we wrapped up the Ed Slott project in November: edslottintucson.com
We built a support site for a big client, Event Driven Media Partners: eventdrivenmedia.org
We’ve also added a new slide show for Tucson’s Golden Corral’s specials and community service: tucsongoldencorral.com
We’ve been busy updating press releases and updating staffing pages for DeConcini McDonald Yetwin & Lacy, P.C.: deconcinimcdonald.com
On The development side, we’ve been collaborating with software developers to create one of the best survey and quiz tools/plugins for WordPress. WP Survey And Quiz Tool: It’s become a very robust tool to add value to WP sites.
We have also been leaning some sophisticated new features for WordPress 3.0+, so it’s been pretty exciting.

Guess who’s not using his brand new Droid Razr? | ZDNet http://zd.net/sKC3Za
Christopher Dawson of ZDNet uses 2 pages to document how horrible Verizon’s service is. Sigh.

WordPress 3.2 is out – Handle with Care
If you spend any time in your WordPress site, you may have noticed that version 3.2 is available for an update.
If your website uses a slideshow/slider, this update will probably break it. Right after testing the new version on our Focus Web Works site, I upgraded one of our clients. The first thing we noticed (after the cool new look for the dashboard) was that her slideshow stopped working.
I’ve since done quite a bit of research and discovered that most slideshow/slider plugins are not working.
One more thing… It turns out that the WordPress developers group has decided to sunset Internet Explorer 6.0. This means that you should avoid upgrading if a large portion of your clients use IE 6.
If either of these situations are a concern for you, we recommend that you wait on that upgrade or at least contact us about your options.
Sincerly,

So my wife, in her infinite wisdom, got me an Amazon gift card for Father’s day. Apparently I’m hard to shop for. :{
I don’t think I’m hard to shop for. Go figure.
Anyway, there were so many cool gadgets. Bigger memory cards for my phone; a stylus for touch screens; a cloth that keeps the notebook screen clean when it closes. This list could go on and on.
Finally, I settled for a good bluetooth headset. I lose or break them more than I care to admit.
I found one with a low profile and noise canceling features called the Jawbone PRIME JBT01 Bluetooth Headset. Looking around on Amazon I found it listed for as much as $100. Ouch.
Click me for big version
Now I don’t usually give up that easily on Amazon. And I had a virtual gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket. So I looked a little harder and found this:
Jawbone PRIME JBT01 Bluetooth Headset – Retail Packaging – Silver
for $21!
Try that at Costco 
To the right is a pic of what came in the mail 2 days later. So far it is the clearest sound I’ve ever had on a bluetooth headset. (I’ve used 4 others). It comes with a wealth of parts to adjust perfectly to your ear and a charging cable that can plug into your computer’s USB port or an A/C adapter.
Let me add that the charging cable has a nice magnetic connector like some of those new notebooks. So you don’t feel like you are putting extra wear on the headset when you attach it to the charging cable.
So far, I really like it
