About Bradley Charbonneau
I've done the big corporate thing. I've done the creative writer thing. Now I'm happily in the middle. I like to help small businesses who are interested in "working their website before their website works them." I'm also interested in creating beautiful sites with powerful WordPress themes. Google+Hover-over pop-up text, links, and anchors

If you don't care about that old mail or address book, great, no worries. If you would like to try to keep some of that, here are a few [...]
Embedded Video
I'm getting more and more requests to put video (and audio) up on websites. I usually get a file (or CD or DVD) from my client and convert it to a few friendly formats (video: mov, avi, mp4, mpg, etc.; audio: mp3) and then upload them and make links. However, there are some downsides to [...]
Email Obfuscator
Jason Brantley over at Axis Computer Consulting recommended a stronger-than-PHP method of obfuscating--or munging, hiding, encrypting--email addresses on websites: the email address munger. Here's an excerpt from their site: Email address munging is the act of using ASCII, JavaScript, and scrambling of letters in your email address in order to hide your email address from [...]
