SEO & Social Media Marketing in Nolensville, TN
Our family took in the 2013 Nolensville Historic District Buttercup Festival earlier this month, and had the quintessential small-town good time. There was a classic mix of old (picking up a journal from the Nolensville Historical Society) and new (my youngest son trying a Greek roast sandwich from one of the food trucks on a whim, and loving it).
It just felt like something was missing, though. [Read more...]
A surprising headline just came from the Tennessean, which reports this morning that the town of Nolensville has fired police chief Paul Rigsby and officer Troy Buckley. [Read more...]
In what amounts to a nice step forward for public safety, it looks like the National Weather Service is engaging online advertising networks to insert banner ads warning of severe weather, based on a reader’s location. Earlier today while checking on my hockey blog, On The Forecheck, I noticed the banner ad you see to the right here.
At first I wondered if this was just another example of false advertising, which is all too common in the banner industry (what, you thought President Obama had personally extended you an invitation to refinance your home?), but when I decided to click through the banner it took me to a genuine Tornado Warning which was both timely and geographically relevant to my current location.
Color me impressed, National Weather Service!
While this might seem to be a natural extension of the alert systems which have been common in TV and radio for decades, it does represent an important step forward due to the number of people who at any given time, may not be tuned in to traditional communication channels. I know my kids have been on a Wizard of Oz kick lately, but I’d prefer to avoid getting swept up in a twister all the same.
Boom times bring tough decisions to the Mayor and Aldermen of Nolensville.
Nolensville’s potential for modern development is a topic I’ve discussed previously on this site, and the balancing act which the town must achieve to maintain its historic identity while welcoming new residents and businesses is its biggest challenge in the coming years.
Growth can be tremendously positive for the community, offering services and employment to its residents that today require trips to Smyrna, Cool Springs, or the south side of Nashville. [Read more...]

Disqus is a tremendous tool for handling the comments on your Wordpress website or blog, but the one thing I’ve been missing is a good way to display Recent Comments on the sidebar.
My latest project, the Nashville Sports Hub, is starting to spark some decent conversations, and I’d like to be able to feature that in the sidebar. Unfortunately, the standard WordPress Recent Comments widget doesn’t work especially well with Disqus. It also turns out that Disqus doesn’t offer widgets straight from their website, but the functionality is out there if you know how to tap into it. [Read more...]
So this afternoon we had the family out in Cool Springs, brainstorming dinner ideas, when Amy suggested we try Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom, which recently opened on Cool Springs Blvd. (Google Map here), at the site of the former Omikoshi Japanese steakhouse.
We pulled up around 3:45 in the afternoon, and were a bit surprised to see the place filled up, but hey, it’s the shopping season, so Cool Springs is crazy-busy. While we waited a few minutes for a table, I checked in on Foursquare, and when that message also went out on Twitter, I started getting enthusiastic responses back from followers:
@forechecker post a review afterwards.Been meaning to check it out.

Now there’s an idea… they always say that the best way to get article ideas as a blogger is to keep an eye out for questions which are being asked, and answer them. So yes, why not turn our dinner into an impromptu restaurant review? Hey, there’s a first time for everything, so here we go… [Read more...]
