Prairie Political Republic | A Journey Towards Separation

Image
Introducing the Prairie Political Republic.  Amongst many modern political agendas, the PPR has a central focus on Saskatchewan's journey towards Separation from Canada. Check out their YouTube channel which focuses on Saskatchewan politics . https://www.youtube.com/@CanadianPPR Saskatchewan politics in 2026 has the feel of a province still exhaling after an election cycle, but already back in the thick of the “everyday issues” fights that decide the next one. The governing Saskatchewan Party enters the year with Premier Scott Moe still firmly in the driver’s seat, while the Saskatchewan NDP under Carla Beck continues to press the case that the province is ready for a change in priorities and tone. Government of Saskatchewan +1 If 2025 was about campaigning and reintroducing the parties to voters, 2026 looks like it will be about proving competence (for government) and credibility (for opposition) on the files people actually feel: bills, wait times, classrooms, and community safe...

Static to Dynamic: Web Design As you read through what is indicated to be the future, keep a keen interest on how Divi Builder plays a part with 90% of what we discuss.  We have hit the ground running with Divi Builder, and we look forward to sharing this immersive experience in web design with many of you in the years to come... 1. Introduction: The Shift from Static to Dynamic The early internet was text-heavy and static. Over time, design evolved to include images, multimedia, and responsive layouts. But the expectations of digital users have risen sharply. Competing with mobile apps, social media feeds, and virtual platforms, websites must now engage users actively rather than passively. Interactivity—buttons, animations, hover effects, quizzes—and immersion—3D visuals, virtual tours, parallax scrolling—are two strategies that elevate digital presence. When combined, they transform a website from a flat page into an experience. 2. Defining Interactivity and Immersion 2.1...

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): What They Are and What They Do | Brandom Digital Marketing

  Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): What They Are and What They Do Introduction In today’s digital economy, speed and reliability define user experience. Whether a visitor is streaming a movie, shopping online, or browsing a corporate website, they expect instant page loads and uninterrupted access. For organizations, meeting these expectations is critical because slow websites not only frustrate users but also reduce search engine rankings, conversion rates, and overall trust. A key technology that makes fast, global, and secure content delivery possible is the Content Delivery Network , or CDN . A CDN is an interconnected system of servers strategically distributed around the globe to deliver content more efficiently to users. Instead of relying on a single server to handle all requests, a CDN decentralizes content, caching and serving it from multiple points of presence (PoPs). This approach reduces latency, increases redundancy, and provides scalability that traditional hos...

Its content hierarchy is simple: Sections → Rows → Columns → Modules . You place modules (text, images, buttons, forms, etc.) inside columns, arrange those within rows, and group rows into sections. That hierarchy governs spacing, responsive behavior, and design defaults, so it’s worth internalizing from the outset. ( elegantthemes.com ) Divi lets you switch between a fully visual editing mode and Wireframe View , which shows a clean, block-based structure of your layout (handy for large or complex p...

Custom Websites, like Way Custom.

  Custom, like Way Custom – Websites So using Divi Builder is awesome. Overall, this is a great theme with a ton of appeal. One thing I've noticed though is that when creating a custom website, and by this I mean without the structure of a template, things can be tricky at first. The first thing that I found when creating a 'from-scratch' website is that it can be difficult to find that initial foundation of consistency. This was mainly due to what I would consider a 'hidden' global section. Global Sections – Divi Builder. The premise for using global sections, such as headers and footers is such that you can edit once and update all. For example, if you have 50 pages all with the same global footer, you can edit one of these footers, and it would automatically update on all of the other 49 pages. Pretty convenient. There are instances, though, where a global header can be hidden in the sense that it does not show in your builder as a 'global...
