JoeShade Portable UV Shade Umbrella

Last week in Yosemite National Park was perfect!!  The sun was shining during the day. (course, the rain hit at night. Every night!!)  I have to admit, my new JoeShade umbrella came in mighty handy!! JoeShade is a portable sun shade Umbrella that is truly so easy to set up you’ll be in shade in seconds!! Watch this 30 second video to see just how easy.

JoeShade is seriously THAT easy to set up!!!  Adjusting is super easy too, push in one single button and you can adjust the tilt. I really do believe this is the best portable sun shade ever!!! Not only is the umbrella large enough for excellent shade but it provides UV protection as well!!

JoeShade also arrives with a matching carrying bag. The carrying bag has a strap so it’s easy to carry to the beach or to the field to watch a game.

This is not a flimsy little umbrella, JoeShade has some HEFT to it!! JoeShade weighs in at 8 pounds. So, not only is this a substantial umbrella, but there is a broad base for hard surfaces.  If you are on dirt or sand there are three spikes included with JoeShade to make sure it stays put ANYWHERE!!  

The spikes are 7½” long with a small screw at the ends. The spikes were easy to get into the hard packed earth too. I have to say it again!!  This umbrella is perfect!! The umbrella itself measures 60″ in diameter and I can adjust the umbrella from 3′ tall to 8′ tall.  I can even tilt the umbrella for perfect shade!!  There are even wind vents on top of the umbrella.

JoeShade also comes in 3 UV fabric colors: Blue, Green and Red. You can even order your JoeShade personalized for your company!!!!!

Two thumbs WAY, WAY, WAY up for JoeShade!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Refreshing My Old Blog Posts: The Good, The Bad, and The 404s

Updating an old blog post is a lot like an archaeological dig. You expect a quick “dusting” and end up unearthing a series of questionable life choices from 2014.

I recently opened a “quick update” only to find:

• Missing Images: Key tutorial steps now require “imagination.”
• Dead Links: Half my brand partners have rebranded as “AI Crypto Collectives.”
• Antique Fonts: Styles that haven’t been cool since the dial-up era.

Why I’m Optimizing This Blog

It’s not glamorous, but fixing broken links and whispering “Pick me!” to Google makes the site faster and easier for you to find. I’m not spiraling; I’m just cleaning up the blog ghosts.
