Cotton Rohrscheib

I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have been blessed to have been associated with hundreds of startups and projects throughout my career. A few years ago I started offloading many of my business interests to spend more time w/ my family and retool my focus toward the agricultural industry, ultimately I landed at Farmers Business Network, Inc. w/ a great team of people w/ shared mission / vision and the rest is history! I still operate my personal website & blog occasionally on topics of interest to me including; parenting, agriculture, technology, and whatever else comes my direction! My blog, cotton.buzz, is the product of over 20yrs worth of content, photos, podcasts, videos, etc., and all of the content I produce is mine personally, and only represent my views and/or opinions on topics and do not represent any of the businesses or associations I'm affiliated with.

One of the coolest things about WordPress in my opinion is that when a client calls and wants a redesign or a fresh look for their website, it’s just a matter of sitting down and coding a new theme. I launched Indian Hills Country Club first in 2001 and we have redesigned the website 3 […]

I know that there are probably some plugins out there that will accomplish this same exact thing but if you are looking for a way to exclude a category on the fly with a wordpress website, this method will work. Just locate the category ID# and append it to your feed in Feedburner like so… […]

This video has been circulating on Twitter this morning. While I don’t think what has happened in the Gulf of Mexico is funny, this video accurately points out how well BP is handling the situation.

This is sooooo true…

Pleth corporate site about this soon but I wanted to also make mention of the fact that Pleth will be sponsoring the Arkansas Higher Education Web Conference this year.

Premium WordPress Hosting

Pleth. We never have really fit into our industry very well because our philosophy is completely different than 90% of the hosting companies in business today. Most web hosting companies offer low-cost hosting plans with very few bells and whistles so they can keep their costs down and undercut their competitors prices. Services like DNS […]
