Eau Claire Online

After looking through a list of various local businesses, who have all worked hard to help many members of the Eau Claire Community find and live better lives with physical disabilities and/or other injuries, we happened upon an Eau Claire Wisconsin Adult Family Home in Altoona, Wisconsin operated by Beth and Nathan Dietsche where disabled adult residents, traumatic brain injury residents in particular, have been able to live in a safe, family-oriented environment for the past couple years. In March, Dietsche Family Homes will celebrate their 2nd Anniversary as a licensed Wisconsin Adult Family Home and health care provider for Eau Claire, Wisconsin and the Greater Chippewa Valley Area.

The Holiday season, from Thanksgiving to Christmas and then into the New Year, has historically been a time of giving in the Chippewa Valley; this season has been no different. Beth and Nathan Dietsche operate a four bedroom Adult Family Home in Altoona, Wisconsin that provides a substantial living area for each of its residents. Each resident has their own private bedroom complete with cable television and private phone-line capabilities. In addition, their adult family home has a large kitchen area, homey living room, and a large outdoor deck. Their family-oriented living arrangements culminate with a large front and back yard with an organic garden where they plant and harvest vegetables throughout the summer and fall.

We were even able to have the unique opportunity of speaking with a couple of their residents. Each resident we spoke with seemed to both appreciate and enjoy the care they receive at Beth and Nathan Dietsche's Eau Claire Wisconsin Adult Family Home. This past Christmas each resident was able to enjoy a nice Christmas dinner and participate in gift-giving activities.

The 2008 Chippewa Valley Code Camp is coming to the Chippewa Valley Technical College on November 8, 2008.

This new Code Camp is yet another opportunity for enthusiasts to get together to learn and have fun.

Recently added to the Eau Claire Golf Courses Website is a customized Google Search tool that allows users to search for information related to golfing, but from a very localized standpoint. Each search result will only include information from local golf courses and their websites. If you truly want to find out where you can play 9 holes on a brisk Sunday afternoon to loosen up or spend time with friends and family then use the Eau Claire Golf Courses Website to find the golf course for you.

A local Eau Claire band, Bon Iver, has been making themselves known across the world lately. Most recently they have popped onto the Home Page of Myspace for a segment on Myspace Transmissions. If you've like to stay in touch with Justin Vernon and the rest of Bon Iver then you may wish to check out their blog, their website, and their music.

Somehow web 2.0 technologies haven't quite been a hit in the Chippewa Valley as of yet. Perhaps it is for this reason that the folks at Capable Media have decided to create a new Social Network for Eau Claire Search Engine Optimizers. The social network has been set up over at http://capablemedia.ning.com and boasts their intentions to do the following:

Look forward to a new Live Music experience coming soon to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and the surrounding Greater Chippewa Valley Area. Bands and Fans alike will be able to get together and interact socially at the new Social Network for Local Bands at http://www.eauclairebands.com/.

Some local rappers tell a tale about Eau Claire, Wisconsin and why it deserves some praise. Great video guys - haha!

Search engine optimization is very different from search engine marketing. Many businesses do not understand this difference. There are a lot of companies out there that offer to submit your business to directories and search engines. They try to pass this off as search engine optimization. But search engine optimization involves a lot more than submission to directories and search engines. Search engine optimization is a continuous process that involves renovating and possibly restructuring your entire web site.
