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 10 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 an outlet for my thoughts on everything else, thus Casual Keystrokes was started.
As I move around the web, many of you can recognize me by the illustration I use of my DesignHerGal, but you can see more of me at: Meet the Face Behind this Blog.
