HTML For Bloggers Course – Lesson 1
HTML knowledge is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for small business owners looking to manage their own blogs.

Five Tips To Let Your Message Run Wild
I love sharing information, including technology trends, social media How To’s, breaking and local business news, and information on advocacy groups. On Twitter, I’ll share 5-10 items per day, sometimes in a rapid fire method. On Facebook I’ll “Like” or “Share” several posts a day. Multiply these activities by the number of Twitter and Facebook users and you have an unprecedented amount of sharing and re-sharing.
So why limit the scope of your message?
