Art of the Start

Guy Kawasaki was in town today to keynote the Bend Venture Conference.  He gave his Art of the Start presentation, which I’ve seen on video before, but still it was memorable to see it in person… although perhaps a bit early in the morning.  Hm… Is it time for lunch yet?

If your site is currently running ExpressionEngine 1.5.2, then we suggest you download the most recent build of ExpressionEngine from our download area and...
