Work is going on with taosplaza.com which has been upgraded and final config plus new content is being added, taosmusic.com which has been transmigrated to upgraded technology and is now in the first stages of being reconfigured, taossales.com and taosimports.com which are being tweaked to the new Amazon security codes (this is taking longer than expected), taosmultimedia is next to be moved and upgraded to better CMS technology.
When these are complete, ALL of my company's (TMA) online taos-prefix sites will have been moved to our private server from the server in Houston, AND upgraded to the new technology. This process began in May '09 with the first small steps and tests with taosdining.com and we worked on that site a lot while I was in Taos in July. Then at the beginning of October, I made a huge push to complete all the remaining sites. While I was in Goa in the Fall I completed about 6-7 sites.
Content posting is way more fun than site tech, because it is about something interesting, whereas the tech is all about codes and interaction and row after row of text. Oh my God! In working with taosplaza.com content recently, I was remembering how much fun Radha and I had fun with the content that site 2 years ago. She loved it.
So, I'm almost at the point where the bulk of the tech will be done on all of the sites and then, as Bill Gates said, "Content is king."
Almost all of those sites are ranked in the top 500,000 sites by Alexa, and I'm told that google considers them to be 'authority' sites (which means that outgoing links from them carry more weight with search engines.) Cool, huh?
