We were just informed that SEI Design Group Blog was selected by as one of the top Architecture Blogs by The Daily Reviewer.  Thanks very much!

Well, Eric told me that I had to put the blog on the blog. 

We got a copy of  the brand new Marketing Handbook for the Design and Construction Professional published by SMPS and BNI Building. 

SEI Design Group Blog was featured in the section on Promoting Your Firm By Leveraging Web 2.0.

Commenting is more fun with avatars. To get your own avatar, click on the link in the box at the bottom of the comment area, or just go to www.gravatar.com.   Set up an account, and follow the instructions to upload and crop your image. Sometimes it does take a while to show on the site after you have uploaded.  If you are unfamiliar with avatars, this Chris Pirillo video gives an explanation.  Once you have your gravatar, please comment below and tell us your favorite color.

Well, if you made it here, you know that we have a new blog address that is more consistent (www.seidesigngroup.com/blog) and we are finally unveiling our new blog design.  Thanks to Nate at Unique Blog Designs for his expert assistance with this project.  Be sure to bookmark our new address for easier return visits, or just use the link from our main website.

We redesigned the blog for better communication.  You can now sign up for email updates, RSS feed, and our newsletter.  You can read by category or use the Tag Cloud.  Scroll to the page footers for popular posts and links.  Check out the tabs at the top.  Take a spin and see what you think.

You will see a comment balloon underneath each post and, and if there have already been comments, you can see a balloon at the top of the post.  Click either one to say what you think or read the comments.  You only need to sign up once, and if you click the checkbox at bottom, you will be notified by email when there is a comment after yours.

In honor of the new blog launch we are having a Comment Contest!  The person who has comment #… (can’t tell you it is a contest! ) will win Duckster (the dancing duck that sings Splish Splash).  Duckster is the brother of the singing Gorilla,  In addition, there will be two flying toy prizes given for comments left on other posts.  Have fun and Comment On!
