Welcome 2010 and Happy Birthday [9D]

Posted on 31. Dec, 2009 by andy in News

With the year 2009 about done, Ninth Division is getting ready to embark in some exciting new territory.  Read my thoughts as I reflect on 2009 as I compare 9D to starting a band.  This past year was great and I couldn’t ask for a better start to a business.  2010 is already going to [...]

Year Zero; Complete.

Posted on 31. Dec, 2009 by andy in About

Year Zero? Isn’t that a Nine Inch Nails album? Yeah. That’s not at all what this update is about. This past year for Ninth Division has not been the first year of business. It’s been the incubation time for the company. 2010 is a time for true birth and growth. Year Zero was an album from a band that I truly admire… and Ninth Division is as much a business as it is a band.

Being in a band to make it somewhere is just like running a business that you want to carry into the years to come. When I look at how I run Ninth Division, I think about it as if it were a band.

This comes to hard lesson #1… CACHE! Now this site (not surprisingly) is ran using Wordpress. Luckily that means there are tons of great caching plugins. Use one! I had reminded myself about three times to do that in September and October, but found excuses not to. It’s simple and it saved my site.

Announcing ninthdivision.com generation 3

Posted on 08. Sep, 2009 by andy in News

I am happy to announce that NinthDivision.com has been redesigned from the ground up. The old site was becoming very stale in content and it made it hard for me to feel inspired to write great content. Not to mention the overall colors weren’t a good display for the company.
