Give Yourself a Whack on the Side of the Head

Essential Keystrokes was showing what to do when we have too much of a good thing.
I have not even had a chance to write between being without my normal high speed Internet (6 days total) and the amount of client work (good) I have going right now. Anyhow, there is some good stuff out there and I don’t want you to miss out on it!

6 Posts Too Good to Miss

Social Media Explorer points out the value of simplicity.

    Thanks, Liz. It’s been a fun accomplishment for the people who have taken it up so far (that I know of): Brad Shorr, Tammy Lenski, Scot Herrick (and those are just people that I tagged or challenged).
