Closing in on 10 years managing our Hyper Local news & marketing website along the South Jersey shore.
WATCHDOG JOURNALISM powered by WordPress.
A decade of DownbeachBUZZ.com, covering Ventnor, Margate, Longport, Brigantine and Atlantic City NJ.
Our CMS is WordPress. This OPEN SOURCE content management system is now powering about 40% of all websites.
For hosting, our favs are Cloudways and WPengine. We still use GoDaddy for domains.
For email, Cloudways offers good choices. We use gmail as well.
How about Email newsletters? Mailer-lite. We love their new ‘resend to non-openers’ feature.
Our email newsletter OPEN RATE is 75%.

For the DownbeachBUZZ Podcast, Streamyard is still the best, even with the recent price increase.
Still loving the RODECASTER PRO II as our mixer and audio interface.
AI is getting lots of use, mainly for note collecting, transcription, assist with grammar and word count, etc.
