Kevin Anderson has passed on

posted August 15th, 2007 posted posted by John Dilbeck

I won’t try to tell you about Kevin Anderson. Others knew him better and will tell the story with more knowledge and feeling than I can.

Kevin was a true online marketing pioneer and the founder of Cognigen Networks.

Jack Spirko wrote about the loss of Kevin Anderson on his blog, and some of the top Cognigen agents are expressing their feelings about Kevin and all he did for us.

If you do anything related to online marketing, you should read Jack’s article. If your company offers replicated websites for affiliates, you should read the article.

Kevin, you will be missed by lots and lots of good people.

Don’t wait to act on your dream!

It’s been several months since I was able to turn my attention back to this website and to attempt to catch up with the news and marketing of communications products.

I had already decided I was going to change the entire site and rid myself of PHP-Nuke. Ever since I installed it on this site and a couple of others, I’ve been plagued with hackers and spammers. Yesterday morning, I looked at the site and it had been hacked, again, and that was the last straw.

I backed up and downloaded the database and deleted everything on the site. I installed a current version of WordPress and decided to use the new Zipsense theme developed by the great folks at Got-Zip.com.

It’s different from any other theme I’ve used, so I’ll have to get used to it and learn how to work with it to the best advantage with this site and the posts I’ll be adding to this blog over time.

Normally, I like to show at least ten messages on the home page, but I’m going to try using only the most recent two messages and see how it works.

Hopefully, the problem with hacking will be lessened and I won’t have to always redo everything, but we know that change is a constant.

From this point forward, I will not be using PHP-Nuke for a content management system or PHPBB as a forum on any of my sites. I have one last forum powerd by PHPBB on another site that needs to be eliminated and then maybe I can turn my attention to doing what I want to be doing, which is learning about communications products and services that offer great value for a reasonable price.

I’ll turn my attention back to that starting with my next posting.

I apologize for the disruption and all the changes, but, hopefully, I think it will be for the best.
