Working after a holiday: kind of like playing the bagpipes
If you’ve ever been to a Scottish wedding, parade or Curling match or maybe you’ve watched Braveheart more times than you can remember – you know what bagpipes sound like. This twangy, folksy instrument can lull the average Scottsman into a dreamlike trance dreaming of Haggis and Robbie Burns.

Since I spent yesterday customizing everything that appears outside of the content area of my twitter page, it’s appropriate that today is spent on creating a larger collection of tweets. While I’m working at becoming a respected authority in the world of web design and marketing, I realize that I have yet to create an [...]
1000 Followers Day 6 – Customizing my twitter page
It’s Day 6 of the 1,000 followers campaign and now that I’m continuing to build a following on twitter, it’s time to get away from the generic look of my twitter page. On day 1 all I did to customize things was to add a description of myself and upload my picture to get away [...]
1000 Followers Day 5 – Halfway point!

Today I followed the same formula I had been adhering to for [...]
