Last update for today ...

Ok I was browsing around the DNS provider (enom) again and this time I think I figured out how to add the URL forwarding for http://brianjkopp.com to go to http://www.brianjkopp.com. Add a URL redirect record under the Host Records section. It take up to 3 hours to take affect so I'll have to wait and see how it goes.

As for my other to do...add Google Analytics, I got my home page tagged and the blog sight tagged as well. This was very simple. I was debating using the same tracking code for both the website and the blog site. I decided to do two different tracking codes for now. Not sure if that's what I should do or not. Seems like for reporting I could then easily see my visitors for both sights. If I used one tracking code, then I'd have to create a filter if I only wanted to see one of the sites.

I think I'll ask my good buddy and co-worker Ward Tongen tomorrow during lunch, he's our SEO SEM specialist in our Medtronic eMarketing group.

Welcome

Welcome to brianjkopp.

I'm experimenting with the new Google Apps standard edition. Where Google hosts you website. I have a very lame home page right now at www.brianjkopp.com. I'd like to have a home page, resume, and portfolio available on the site. I'm intersted in having a link to this blog in the right nav. I've only looked for about 5 minutes, and it doesn't look like I can host this blog on that account, but we'll see.

I saw there was the ability to host this blog on another hosting services, but I need the FTP settings, which I haven't found yet in the Google Apps standard edition.

Anyways, I altimitly want this blog to be about my experience with technology and the web, seeing as how I'm a Web Specialist for the medical device manufacture, Medtronic.
