We would like to wish all of the Irish (and the many non-Irish that celebrate as well) a Happy St. Patrick’s day this week! I know that we all enjoy celebrating just about anything here at TechWyse so I am sure we will be having a collective cheers together this week.
This week’s theme seems to be more Search Engine Optimization focused! Each week has different buzz. Hope you enjoy them!
