"Great stuff, Bernie! This post couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I just launched a new service today for chiropractors that focuses on building effective landing pages with CTAs that can be tied into their websites and/or blogs. Without a strong lead generation approach that focuses on capturing names and email addresses, most doctors will remain frustrated and confused on why their websites aren't producing results. I'll definitely point to this post as an additional resource."

"I love it! I think you've given an extremely easy explanation to what many newbies and non-techies consider a nightmare of a topic. Nicely done and I'll be sure to ReTweet it via Twitter. By the way, I enjoy the purpose and focus of your blog. Glad to see a brother in Christ using technology to share the Gospel of Christ in such a refreshing way."

"Dr. Smith :: Glad I could be of service! Also, according to Wibiya, it should work regardless if you use a subdomain hosted blog with WordPress or a self-hosted blog. Regardless, you are correct that you need to move toward self-hosting."
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Michael :: Agreed! And, if you master that art, then obviously the conversation takes care of itself. In other words, it becomes more natural and people are more apt to join in. Thanks for bringing that point forward."
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"By the way, you both need to update your profile photo so that it shows up in your comments. Otherwise, you just come across incognito — unless that’s what you both are shooting for!"
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Sullivan :: You are correct. If you know how to add the javascript to your website’s HTML, you should be good to go. Thanks again for the nudge!"
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Sullivan :: According to Wibiya’s support forum, the color customization option isn’t available but they are in the process of adding this feature in their next upgrade."
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Heins :: Your point is HUGE! I wish every chiropractor that subscribes to those lists would understand that principle — authenticity is key to establishing strong relationships. And, kudos to Dr. Sullivan for his effective peer pressure!"
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Sullivan :: Yes, I’ve been through several of his courses. They are worth every penny for serious online entrepreneurs. Thanks for motivating me to install the wibiya bar. I’ve been monitoring my site’s download speed and haven’t noticed any slow down so far. I’m very impressed with it and will be writing a blog post featuring it very soon. And, yes, you’ll get full credit for encouraging me to implement it!"
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Sullivan :: Yes, I’m aware of wibiya but haven’t taken the plunge yet. How is it working for you? Have you seen an increase in engagement on your site since installing it? I’ve avoided it because it seemed annoying when I first visited a site using it. But, I see its potential."

"Dr. Heins :: There are a couple of ways you can test your site for mobile device compatibility. They are as follows: Via an emulator: dotMobiVia Opera mini: Opera Mini Simulator For more information, check out this wonderful blog post titled Testing on Mobile Devices using Emulators. Want more? Here’s another excellent blog post titled Making your blog look good on a mobile device."

"Dr. Sullivan :: You’re welcome. And, if you get a chance, any colleagues that don’t believe it’s part of the future or think it is some sort of fad, please refer them to this post. I’d greatly appreciate it!"
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Sullivan :: Yes, you definitely can place Apple and Disney within the same category. The interesting thing about that is that Steve Jobs is the #1 stockholder of Disney when they purchased Pixar from him and sits on their board. So, his principles and values are definitely passed down throughout the Disney company. However, I also realize that Disney mastered their customer service experience long before Mr. Jobs arrived on the scene. It truly is a magical experience to be a guest at Disney. Thanks for sharing the information about Gravitational Marketing. I, and I’m sure other readers, will enjoy checking it out!"

- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Sullivan :: Glad you enjoyed one of my “less serious” posts. It’s a rarity for me to do but thought it was time to show a different side of who I am. Have a great weekend!"

"Excellent blog post, Amber! Since my focus is on training chiropractors on how to use blogs and social media to promote and market their practices, I'll be sure to pass this along to my colleagues.I consistently stress the importance of quality content laser-focused on a specific market and/or demographic. Therefore, the importance of distributing content in various formats can't be overstated.Customers prefer to choose how they consume content. So, true content publishers, no matter what profession, should offer as many choices as possible to satisfy their customers wants, needs and desires.Once small business owners realize this, they'll develop loyal costumers much like what Ken Blanchard calls Raving Fans."

"Dr. Harshe :: Another excellent resource! Of course, Guy Kawasaki was essentially mentored under Steve Jobs when he was hired by Apple to become their product evangelist. So, I’m assuming most of his presentation styles were picked up while at Apple."
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Wanderaas :: First of all, thanks for being an avid reader. I do appreciate it and don’t take it for granted. Secondly, it would serve you well to start a blog sooner than later. It takes time to build a presence online and develop the fan base you need to generate business."
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Thanks for putting this together, Sara! I have many colleagues that could use this very instructive and timely tutorial. Well done!"
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Dr. Sullivan :: Glad you found value in this post! And, I hope it’s provided the catalyst you need to buckle down on number two!"
- Dr. Patrick MacNamara
"Merry Christmas, Grant! Thanks for contributing some of the best content out there on the web today. You’re a true mentor, friend and industry leader. May God richly bless you and your family during this holiday season."

"Just switched over to this and love it! Looks like the death of my Twitterfeed account is in short order. One suggestion: If you don’t want to blast tweets that have already been tweeted through other sources (aka Twitterfeed), you may want to set the Item Limit to ONE. Originally, I left mine on default and blasted Twitter with five consecutive tweets of previous information. Not good when one’s trying to avoid looking like a auto-bot. At any rate, thanks for sharing!"
