Welcome to the Compass Designs website, powered by Joomla 1.5! The goal of this new site is to be the place to bookmark if you are looking for quality Joomla templates, tutorials, news and tips.aka I found a really great site to share with you.
I have ADD.
I didn't know this when I was younger. In fact, when I was at school, ADD did not exist. I only discovered it when I taught high school for 8 years, saw lots of adolescent boys running round like they had ants in their pants and realized, "ahhhh, I have that!"
What does this have to do with the web?
I also now have a job where I sit around much of the day on the web. I go to alot of sites. This is compounded by I am not only a "Trained Internet Professional*" but a blogger, so I spend even more time cruising around websites looking for ideas for blog posts.
A few posts back I shared a great site for Improving the Usability of Your Joomla Website (check it out, its great).
This time round I found an equally great site about marketing. So good, in fact, that I just spent the last hour reading pretty much her entire blog.
The site is called IttyBiz, and its the business blog of Naomi Dunford, a microbusiness marketing consultant. I think the blog is pretty new, but its certainly one I'll be adding to my RSS feed. Oh and she says f$&k alot. Odd thing for a marketing expert, go figure, and she has a semi-colon tattooed on her back.
What's the best site you have come across recently?

... Howdy! And welcome! I'd say so in the comments of my own blog but, well, I can't anymore. But thanks so much for the lovely review -- nice to hear. Now I'm going to go read all about Joomla so I can find something intelligent to say. |

... Barrie, like you I was diagnosed with ADD as an adult -- and that makes working on the web possibly the worst possible occupation. All those wonderful distractions -- why, I could easily spend half an hour just following a bunch interesting-looking links in an email some web design guy just pitched at my inbox. Not to even mention the other pages that THOSE lead me to... |

... Barry, I knew there was a reason I liked you!  I never feel like I have wasted my time on your site. Your email newsletters are one of only a few that I even look at. I actually find that my ADD helps me multitask, though I do get sidetracked occasionally.  I recently attended a motivational seminar for our local board of realtors with a brilliant speaker, Terry Watson (http://terrywatson.com), who was absolutely hilarious. I suspect he too has ADD (or is on cocaine... am not sure)... He is pretty tech savvy too. I think he would be great for a Joomla! conference! |

... I always found it an irony that ADD is so penalized in schools. For many careers its a bonus! |
