After starting at tumblr, I’ve decided to move to Blogger. I really love the simplicity of tumblr but I couldn’t get past the inability for people to post comments. My goal is to build a community around Marketing for Mavens and comments are a great way to start to do that.

What amazes me most about coding, in this case Ruby on Rails, is how I can bang my head against a wall for hours trying to figure something out, only to take a break, come back, and figure it out right away. It’s unbelievable how clearing your head for an hour or so can make such a dramatic difference in how you approach a problem.

Since February, I’ve been working on a new web application that allows marketers to easily customize web content for visitors based on how they interact with your web site. That’s a mouthful but basically it combines the usability of a content management system with the knowledge gathered by web analytics software to determine what visitors see on your site. The idea came about through my own frustrations and my guess is that I’m not the only one out that wishes it was easier to distribute custom content to only the people who want it.

Yesterday, I launched my new web site, marketingformavens.com. It’s a placeholder page for now but if you want to join the list for the limited beta, you should check it out.
