What are my Website Choices?

Brief history of build-your-own-website platforms.

Where do you start when you want to build your own website? In the olden days, the Wordpress was the standard. Wordpress came onto the scene in 2003 as a blogging platform and was... completely ignore...at first. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of developers, creatives, users, and supporters Wordpress grew from a movable type platform to a WYSIWYG website platform. By 2007, Wordpress was the standard, and the best choice for personal and business websites because it was FREE! Twenty tears later, Wordpress still exists! But it isn't always the easiest way to build a website, but many people still swear by it and it still runs over 43% of the world's websites because it is an open source platform and still (mostly) free! However, it's gotten so specialized that it's hard for newbies to jump in, build and site and publish something that looks professional. Because Wordpress can be tricky, we've had so many what-you-see-is-what-you-get website builders pop up for every style, every kind, and every profession. Now, instead of using WordPress, you can work on a platform with tools that automate much of the website design work so you don't need a high level of customization.

Heartland Car Wash Show: A Look Back, A Look Forward

By Mike Ohlinger • May 1, 2025
Last week, Mel and I had the chance to attend the Heartland Car Wash Show in Council Bluffs, Iowa—a regional event that’s trying to find its footing again after a few bumpy years. If you’ve never been, the Heartland Show has historically drawn together car wash professionals from across the Midwest, but this year’s event came with some caveats. While it wasn’t the most polished affair we’ve attended, we walked away with the impression that there’s real potential for this show to evolve into something meaningful. That is, if the organizers can push through the growing pains.

Carwash Myths & Hollywood Hype: The First Automatic Car Wash Was NOT in California

By Mel Ohlinger • April 21, 2025
For a long time, a certain story has drifted through the car wash world like a sudsy ghost. You’ll hear it in conventions, on websites and blogs, whispered reverently by folks who swear their uncle told them about it once: that the first automatic car wash opened in Hollywood, California in the 1940s. That it used a winch system to pull cars through a tunnel while attendants handled the scrub-down and drying. That it wasn't a FULLY automatic carwash, but it had the first automatic component - a winch and pully system to bring cars through a tunnel. Some claim it even used a tractor or a team of horses to automate the chain system.
