Now a Salesforce.com Certified Developer
I recently sat for the DEV401 certification exam at DreamForce ‘09 and passed.
The nice thing about it is I sat for the test on Tuesday and on Wednesday at DreamForce they had these boards printed up standing in the heaviest-traveled area of the show floor.

Certificate: Adobe DreamWeaver 101
This is my “Certificate of Completion” from Lynda.com for sitting through the course titled, “Creating a First Web Site with DreamWeaver CS4.”
Marketing “Systems” I use
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 9, 2009
I was just putting together a list of all “systems” I use here in the Marketing department and thought I would share. My job title, officially, is ‘Marketing Information Systems Manager’.
Force.com Sites
I just received word from the Salesforce.com Product Manager that DLR and I have been accepted into the Force.com Sites Pilot program.
I guess you can say its a privilege. It’s basically a beta program intended to allow a few customers “production” access to the Force.com Sites technology so that they can fine tune anything before they make it generally available to every Salesforce.com customer. The pilot program, I hear, was rather selective.
Currently, I’m going through the initial set up (nothing to show yet) but I do hope to be able to show some progress, or at least screen shots, here.
“drt.com wide”
A few years ago the web standard was to build your site no wider than 800px. With advances in monitor technology and size, most web-saavy users cannot remember the days of 800px-wide sites.
Therefore, I took a deep dive into our Google Analytics accounts and sure enough, people shop our website with some rather large resolutions (e.g. 1920×1200, 1680×1050, 1400×1050, 1600×1200).
So, I’ve recently widened the site to 990px:

Recent upgrade
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on February 11, 2009
I’ve recently upgraded to WordPress 2.7.1 and modified the theme.
There is a project at Digital Realty Trust that we are developing and will use WordPress as the selected platform. Now, I’ll have more working knowledge about WP while I manage this project.
So far I like 2.7. I’ve since downloaded the WordPress app to my iPhone and am writing this entry from my iPhone.
I encourage you to upgrade if you’re running WordPress.
DreamForce 2008 = Overwhelming
I successfully navigated my first year at DreamForce (the annual Salesforce.com event of the year).
I had heard that you can get any one of 100,001 things from DreamForce, so my objective was to go and learn as much as I could about VisualForce and Apex. I’m certain I succeeded in reaching that goal.
Monday was a 14 hour day that included registration, the big keynote from the Salesforce.com CEO, session after session of learning, a two-hour hack-athon on the new Force.com Sites technology and ended with a Foo Fighters concert.
