I was giving a speech yesterday to a Non-Profit group at Waubonsee Community College. Among the many topics on social networking, there seemed to be a big interest in blogging. So I thought I would give you some insights as to why I blog each week and how to do it (in very basic terms).…
DetailsWhat do you want? I assume at this point that, if you have made any New Year’s resolutions, you’ve broken at least one. This year I didn’t make any… that way, I wouldn’t disappoint myself.
