add this! Give Multiple Users Access to Your Analytics

(from AddThis email announcement, thought you all should know!)

Do you have more than one person who’d like to get access to your AddThis account?

Well, today's your day! We’ve recently overhauled our account system...

Within your account settings, you can easily grant access to as many users as you desire.

Want to reduce your login experience to just one click? Now you can login with your Facebook ID, Google ID, or Open ID. Logging in has never been easier.

Get Better Access to Your Data with New APIs!

We pushed a new API and updated another that'll give you even better access to your Analytics data ...

* Content Feed API - Use this API to create a feed of your top shared or trending content on your site. This is great for a sidebar widget to circulate traffic across your site by pointing your users to additional interesting content.

* Analytics API - This API was updated to allow you to access to all the data that’s available via our Analytics Dashboard.

Download the New Version of AddThis for WordPress

We’ve recently launched version 2.0 of AddThis for WordPress. It’s a complete overhaul of the plug-in. Easily point and click to add the newest sharing widgets to your site - now with even more great customization. Download it now!


YPBCo Note: AddThis is a great web tool! Take a look and see if it is a good fit for your website. You will love the analytics it provides!

Happy Anniversary Cat - 10 years with YPBCO!

(caption: Cat 2010)

DavidB and I met Cat 10 years ago at a Chicago History Museum meeting where she was an intern while finishing her degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We knew right away we liked her and her design style! And asked her to come work for us when her internship was completed.

Lucky for us she said YES! She walked into our office in July 2001. And now, 10 years later, we can't imagine Your Plan B Company without her! Our succes is hers!

Her hand has been in award winning websites, fun flash games, office antics and not least of all, our friendship!

Not too mention all the fabulous art she creates when she is not in our office - from kinetic sculpture to woodworking to print making she has shown locally and nationally. And now she is working on her Masters degree! Go Cat! Go!



What wonderful things will we see in the next 10 years?

Happy Anniversay Cat!

We are committed to sharing cool web design tools with you!
And here is another one: Web Design Sketchbook

While we use our own type of storyboard here at Your Plan B Company, we have to admit to liking the spiral bound and covered version here.
Everything you need to convey your ideas to your clients!

Good design begins with pre-development.
Plan as much as you can out before you begin building and you avoid headaches all around!
