If you’ve been following along with this podcast and the WOW organization for any length of time then you’re no doubtably aware of the fact that the WOW website was in need of a makeover.
Today, I’m pleased to announce that a new website redesign is well underway and I’d like to ask that you take a look at WebProfessionals.org
Speaking of out with the old and in with the new, I’m throwing away my plain old telephone (POTS) in favor of Skype for all of my podcasting needs. Moving forward, you can expect to see and hear improved podcast and more website resources such as industry news by the hour, events, job board, professional directory and education and training resources.
A special shout out to those that cared enough to express your thoughts both negatively as well as positively and of those that supported the WOW through the process including WOW member Melvin Ram, Principle at SitesPress Web Design Company for his efforts. We still have plenty to do and a decade of cobwebs left to shake off but we are committed to getting this right.
