I don’t know about you, but I realized I have this underlying low-grade anxiety over online activities.
Perhaps it started when my blog was actually hacked into (twice).

It happened […]
Keep Your Blog Secure!
Technology–bane or blessing?
If your web site is ever hacked, it will feel like a huge bane. If not a curse.
I’ve had my blog hacked into twice now (and I’m wondering if my email was also hacked–if you get spam from me, IT’S NOT really from me. I’m looking into it.)

Especially for service-oriented companies, good support is crucial to me in any firm that wants to keep my business.
I want to honor the wonderful service I’ve recently received from the company I use for my ecommerce needs: 1shoppingcart.com.

Imagine people flocking to your website to sign up for your newsletter.
Imagine orders coming in for your book every day. (Or leads for your business, or sales, or …)

“Which Publishing Path is Best?”
Two of my clients face a happy though difficult decision, because traditional publishers are interested in their work:
“Should I go through the added work of doing a book proposal and then waiting for a traditional publisher to decide on my book, or forge ahead with a self-publishing company?”
