The end of the year (and decade!) finds Judy and Anna Belle sitting down with Patty Jenkins for a fascinating and in-depth talk about Tree Climbers International and its Joomla site at www.treeclimbing.com, where Patty is the (self-described) Business Manager, Webmaster and all around General Manager. How does that work? Well, for starters, you find a great development company to work with, which is what Patty did -- using the skills and talent offered by 3 by 400 in Dahlonega, GA (www.3by400.com) to learn, grown and extend a site that's not only a source of information but a thriving international community of tree climbers. Patty shares a client's view of what makes a great design company and she shares an insider's view of how a tech newbie becomes a happy and productive Joomla user.

And there's more — AB tells us all about the Pink Glove Dance video, Google real time search and Facebook's CEO has egg on his Facebook. Or something. Plus later, AB decries Chrome for Mac in her Beet Up and Judy gives 2 thumbs up (Beet) to www.vark.com.
