Weekly Fix #8: A shift in content and networking

This week’s posts somehow slipped through the cracks. Our goal is to publish three posts a week: something on Tuesday, Thursday, and the Weekly Fix on Saturday. Hopefully now that this goal is public to our readership, we’ll be bound by it.

  3. Excellent post. And you’re right…once you start blogging it does become addictive. I am so much more informed about news, sports, politics and different lifestyles than reading the paper for the last 29 years has ever made me. The online community of blogs (blogosphere) as so many helpful links, tips, sites and other blogs all designed to help make your blog a success…thanks for some great resources.
