About

It’s not about the colors. It’s not about the fonts. It’s not about the technology. It’s all about communicating effectively with the people you serve.

As Web marketing and design strategist with more than 12 years active experience, I was not introduced to blogging until August 2005. A former associate of mine wanted help setting hers up and came to me for help. When a client approached me about helping her set up a blog in the spring of 2006, I figured I had better find out what blogging was all about.

As it turns out, blogging is a perfect match for me. I have a busy life with quite a few passions, and I love sharing what I know! I started blogging with the focus of sharing my web design and marketing experiences here at Essential Keystrokes, but quickly realized I needed outlets for other projects.

I am available for hire for WordPress customizations and web/social media strategy consulting. You can view my full portfolio at Keystrokes Design & Marketing.

• Essential Keystrokes (you are here)
• Printables for Kids (Free printable activities for kids)
• Doll Diaries (fun stuff for doll lovers of all ages)
• Sports Girls Play (girls sports news, resources, and commentary)
• Raising a Healthy Family (let’s just call this my “mommy blog”)
