Getting Your Personal Website Designed With You in Mind

Josh Robert Nay

Starting a personal blog or website can be tasking, particularly during the early design phase. This is a time when you’re just getting started, trying to find your niche, and just starting to place the building blocks that will hopefully turn into a successful website someday soon. Relying on do it yourself (DIY) website builder that sometimes fall short can add to some of the stress. After all, you just want to sit down and start typing that blog entry or sharing your site with others. Good websites take time, but great websites take a lot of time and effort.

SEO is NOT Dead… Far, Far From It

Josh Robert Nay

I recently read a post on social media from a person who (while remaining nameless) was supposed to be an expert in his field. This post, however, got under my skin because he essentially called SEO (Search Engine Optimization) a fruitless endeavor, saying it was “dead” and calling on companies to make their investments elsewhere. I truly hope this person is not an advisor for companies in his spare time. Here’s the truth. SEO is not dead. Backlinks? Yes, it’s true that backlinks are now one of the least important parts of SEO nowadays. While still somewhat relevant, they’ve taken a

Some New Changes in the Midst

Josh Robert Nay

A year and a half ago, I detailed my desire to continue writing and I really meant it. In fact, for the past year and a half, I have been working on TruTower and also acquired 1800Pocket/PC. Needless to say, those two websites have kept me busy (and unfortunately this hasn’t left me much time for writing in my blog or working on my books and poetry). You can keep up to date with these works by visiting the articles section of the website and clicking on the site of your choice. Be sure to follow both on Twitter and

A Year and Two Months Later, and Yes I’m Still Writing

Josh Robert Nay

Yeah it’s been awhile — long while — since I’ve posted on my personal blog. Yes, I’m definitely still writing. In fact, those who follow me via my Twitter account know firsthand that I’m writing a lot. Of course, a quick peek at TruTower.com will suffice as proof aplenty. I know quite a few of you are wondering what is happening with regard to my books, poetry, and short stories. I can’t give you an exact timeframe, but rest assured I will be working on these projects again. Right now, I’m really concentrated on TruTower. It’s the beginning, a first

I Wish I Was A Morning Person

Josh Robert Nay

Mornings … I hate them. Well, sometimes. See, I’m kind of a morning person per se, but when it comes right down to it, if given a choice, I’d rather catch an extra wink of unconsciousness than catch the first rays of the sun at 7 am. This morning, however, I’m wide awake and it’s barely 8 am. The sun is out, early morning churchgoers and commuters can be seen going by, and a lone bird is chirping loudly in a tree just outside my window. I figured I’d get some work done on my fantasy novella Wynx, but a

Welcome to the New Blog!

Josh Robert Nay

I recently decided (after what seemed like an endless debate with myself) to move and redesign my blog. The biggest change is the name. The old name of The Purple Dragon has been dropped. Because of this, the overall look and feel has also changed to a more artistic layout. It must be the art-lover in me. This change allows me a lot more flexibility. I’m also able to post more easily so this in turn will result in more from me in the future. However, for old time’s sake, here’s how the final version of The Purple Dragon looked:

Oh the Wonders of Duct Tape

Josh Robert Nay

Yes, Mr. Zwanzig. Duct Tape is, indeed, like the Force. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the Universe together. A brief search of the wondrous interwebs will give you an insight into the very psyche of humanity. Everything from beliefs, sad realities, and very disturbing images of grandma cuddling with her long-dead stuffed kitty can be found on search engines. I, however, was captivated by the next element to appear on the periodic table: Duct tape. Okay, so the periodic table prediction might be overdoing it, but let’s face it, humanity has yet to
