Re: outsource relationship - [quote="jvprosperity":3ubjoj4y]Kevin, How do you suggest I manage this list? Should I just put it up as a word document on the server?[/quote:3ubjoj4y] Hi Andy, In my particular case, my web design company had created a specific site for their clients to manage project development. I don't think a Word or Excel document would suffice since the "requests" could be edited by both parties. I'll email you a screenshot of what I mean.

Re: How long should a Business Plan be? - Business plans generally wind up being about 25 pages. If it is significantly longer, then often times what you will find is that someone tried to do a feasibility study and a business plan in one document. I would recommend keeping them separate. If the plan is significantly shorter it's possible that key components are missing or are under developed. It comes down to quality. All areas should be throughly covered, but there is no point in making a document long just to make it long. I've seen some plans that had dozens of charts and graphs added in an effort to lengthen the document. That kind of thing is pointless because no one will look at endless filler material anyways.

Re: Wordpress Password & Username Recovery - Password protection continues to be one of the most integral parts of security in the modern age. Whether you're accessing your home through a keypad, your car through a keypad, your computer through finger print, or your files through alphanumeric passwords - remembering and ensuring access too all of these passwords is troubling. I think the future will see everything consolidate into one 'identification card', good for everything and anything you do. Service providers will need to provide this technology as the standard. Food for thought!
