We took a lot of road trips so I learned early to appreciate seeing the sites [...]

Chris Brogan twittered the questionIf email went dark for you for 30 [...]

Yesterday I had the pleasure of sharing my insight on TheSpew, a new podcast created by women in online marketing for women in online marketing. I talked about the recent CafePress marketplace changes with these fabulous women… Missy Ward moderated with panelists Lisa Riolo and Karen Garcia. Carolyn Tang from Share a Sale was also [...]

I recently upgraded my hosting account and as a result all of my shopping space is unavailable today. Maybe it’s a nice downtime to get other things done – but in the meantime all shoppers are turned away by weird unavailable pages and server errors.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you – I [...]

It’s time to be more me, I say. I have had a blog of some kind since late 2005 or early 2006, I forget, although I’ve been online with a website in some form since around 1997. I’ve had this particular domain for a few years… and now I’m combining the experiences all in [...]

So, I just found myself on a small detour of internet wanderings…
I started out right here, on my own blog. I was checking out stats and see who has stopped by and who’s link to whom. I discovered a friend of mine had mentioned my blog because I had mentioned her blog. Well then as [...]

Censorship surrounds us and sometimes more often than it should or in places that it needs not be.
I have a number of views on the topic of censorship. Far to many to simply list here in a single post. However, I will say, to me censorship is a personal thing. I should never be put [...]

They recently won an Effie award for, what I can tell, these fabulous advertising successes.
Now here this! I went to the webpage about the [...]
