			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Mortar is pleased to announce some rate changes.  With times as tough as they are, many other businesses are raising prices; but we&#8217;re doing everything we can to help our small business friends &#8212; by bringing new value priced packages to market!</p>
<h3>Flat Rate WordPress Pricing</h3>
<p>WordPress is the best website platform available for small businesses today and our current customers really love it. So we&#8217;ve decided to offer flat rate development fees (rather than hourly development) for WordPress sites.  This will make it easy for small business owners to budget and plan for their new sites.  The packages <a href="http://newmortar.com/rates/">start as low as $300!</a></p>
<h3>Updated Maintenance Plans</h3>
<p>Meanwhile, on the long-term maintenance front we are now offering four maintenance plans.  Building upon the success of our other monthly plans, we&#8217;re pleased to add a new Bronze maintenance plan for only $12 per month.  It includes two hours of annual prepaid development time; plus a complimentary domain name and Free web hosting!  Our popular Silver, Gold and Platinum plans are all still available – each with additional prepaid hours – and starting for as little as $24 per month.  You can learn more on our <a href="http://newmortar.com/rates/#maintenance">Rates page</a>.</p>
<h3>Migration Special</h3>
<p>Finally, to help those folks with existing websites, we&#8217;re pleased to offer our first promotional special!  Our <a href="http://newmortar.com/migration-special/">Migration Special</a> is available to anyone moving content from an existing site to the WordPress platform.  It includes Medium WordPress package (with up to 8 pages of content) and custom design theme to match their existing site – all for <a href="http://newmortar.com/migration-special/">FREE</a> when you sign up for a Gold or Platinum maintenance plan!  Full details can be found <a href="http://newmortar.com/migration-special/">here</a>.</p>
<p>So there you have it.  We&#8217;re doing our little part to help the small businesses pull the American economy out of it&#8217;s slump.  If you have any questions, please <a href="http://newmortar.com/contact/">drop us a line</a>. </p>

But even better than royalty free is completely free!  Here are a couple of great resources to get free music for your video or other projects.</p>
<p>First, Kevin Macleod at <a href="http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/">Incompetech </a>is a fantastic musician and offers lots and lots of tracks for free use &#8212; without any payment.  These are all original works so this is just a wonderful contribution to the world.  He does request a $5 donation if you use his works, but it is completely voluntary.  Full details are on <a href="http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/faq.html">his site</a>.</p>
<p>Next, a major hat tip to the folks at the <a href="http://www.musopen.com/">MusOpen!</a> site.  This ambitious project is making free use recordings of public domain music available for anyone anytime.  They even have a live streaming option so you can play the music in your gallery, restaurant, store or any other public arena &#8212; without ASCAP / BMI or anyone else asking you for money.  <a href="http://www.musopen.com/">This</a> is a neat endeavor and it deserves our support!</p>
<p>Finally, if anyone would like to use any of the tracks from <a href="http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/37958">my own contribution to posterity</a> &#8212; they are certainly welcome to&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/r/newmortar"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1256" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 20px;" title="eventbrite-logo1" src="http://newmortar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/eventbrite-logo1.jpg" alt="" width="220"/></a>While the Eventbrite site has been around awhile I hadn&#8217;t had much occasion to use it before.  However, in planning some events for 2010 I came to explore the workings and am really impressed.  From all my testing it seems to be a great platform &#8212; and it&#8217;s free for no charge events.</p>
<p>If you need a way to register your attendees, or charge for tickets to a paid event, Eventbrite seems to be the bomb!  Every time I play around on the site it makes me want to host a concert or something else people can register for.  If you have any sort of event registration need, I encourage you to <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/r/newmortar">check it out</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>Disclosure: The links above are from the Eventbrite affiliate program, so if you use it New Mortar will get a small percentage of the sale. If you decide to sign up for their paid service, I&#8217;d appreciate you using this link.  Thanks!</p>
