Welcome Sandy Renshaw!

Sandy Said Yes!

Today, I am delighted to announce that Sandy Renshaw of Purple Wren Communications takes on a role as a contributing editor.

Sandy’s main role will be a column we’re calling Sandy’s Great Graphic Find. She’ll be finding and sharing graphics tools, short how-tos, and ideas — stuff that nongraphical folks, folks who look like Chris and me, can use to tweak blog designs and make presentations cool. The tools Sandy finds will be ones that are free or under $200, ones that most bloggers might use at home or in their small business. The how-tos and ideas will be ones that we can use immediately.

Sandy is also going to be building the Tuesday Open Comment Announcement Posts to help keep Successful-Blog moving smoothily and efficiently every week!

Perfect Timing!

While Sandy and I were discussing how her arrival, Chris — without knowing that Sandy had said, “Yes,” — left a question in the comment box of yesterday’s Great Find post I wrote about Photoshop Tutorials. At the very moment when Chris’s question came, Sandy and I were talking about how her column would work. Answering questions like the one asked was just what we had been talking about . . . blogger synchronicity!!!

Chris’s question became Sandy’s first Successful Blog Post.

Welcome Sandy! Thanks for coming!

    This is so cool - welcome, Sandy!

    While I love reading every word that Liz writes it’s going to be fun to change it up a bit.

    Congratulations, Liz - on a truly great find!

    Sandra - Remember, for some of us on your topic you’ll need to write very s-l-o-w-l-y. :-)

    Hey, Sandra!
    WhoA! Look at that — a commnent from the bawldguy. Don’t go slowly for him. He can keep up just as fast as Chris as I can . . . so I’d say let’s run like turtles. :)

    Hi Robyn!
    Yeah, it’s one other place that I felt I could use real support for the blogger like — writer girl, not techie girl. And Sandy has talents that she’s kind of quiet about. . . . :)

    I think we’ll make a good team.

    Besides Chris needs two of us to keep him in line !!!

    Whooo-Hooo! Welcome to the party, Sandy!

    Oh, and to further what Jeff said, please be sure to use some little words too from time to time so that we can at least pretend to keep up with you. ;)

    Hi Rick,
    We’ve reach capacity now. I really needed some help moving this aircraft carrier through the water. Now I’ve got in two special people, both of whom I’ve been working with on other project!

    YEA!, I am one very lucky girl.

    Hi Everybody,

    Thanks for the nice comments. (I don’t think there are any big words in my vocabulary.) I’m looking forward to writing in everyday language so we can all understand it. And if not, please ask questions!
