Advice: The four passwords you need to truly own your website
Ah – it’s becoming more and more common: businesses with web sites that, well, don’t kinda work – and once the owners realise this, it seems like it’s more trouble than it’s worth to move on…
The major barrier to moving is not the plethora of other web designers, web hosting companies or business consultants peddling thier advice (ahem), but rather, the confusion surrounding what username and password allows who to do what, and which key opens which door and… …and… …well I may as well stay where I was.
Fear not!
Let me explain the four places you need to write down your username and password to truly take control of your web site – from both a management point of view AND a legal ownership point of view.

News: SMX/eMetrics/Online Marketer Melbourne 2010: Day 1 Photos
Back at SMX once more, this time a lot closer to home! In their inaugural Melbourne event, a combined SMX/eMetrics program arrived under the banner of Online Marketer. While the hashtags for Twitter were a little muddled (#emetrics – but only for day one, #smx – but more predominant on day two, and #ommel for both days), at least the new name had begun to catch on, so by SMX Sydney in 2011, it’ll be second nature.
Huge thanks to Barry, Lisa and Paula, and to the wonderful array of local and international speakers for their time, effort, and expertise. The main conference stream went from serious to advanced topics, and the ever-popular (and free!) Bootcamp stream was excellent for both novices learning about SEO/SEM/social media – but also for those already in the know, to catch up on the latest trends in the industry.
What follows is a selection of the many hundreds of photos from Day One of the conference. Feel free to copy and paste them into your blogs or tweets and give them some captions.
