Are you a morning person or a night person?
This is day 22 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 21: “Why I love HootSuite” I’ve been thinking more and more that I’m a morning person, but I’m by no means a cheerful person in the morning. In fact, I’ve asked my husband not to speak to me in the mornings before I’ve…
What I love about HootSuite for social media management
This is day 21 of 20-day blog challenge. Read day 20: “Will home-schooling breed hermits?” I had heard about HootSuite a long while before I got a chance to really dig into it. I knew HootSuite was a leader in social media, and I watched as people like John Petrucci published posts and tweets…
Will home schooling breed hermits?
This is day 20 of my 30-day blog challenge. Read day 19: “5 pet peeves of poor web design” I’m going to categorize this blog “as the laundry rolls” and put it with my parenting tips and musings (from ground zero). I say “thoughts from ground zero” because I am a…
5 Pet peeves of poor web design
This is day 19 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 18: “One quick tip for Facebook for business” I think it’s safe to say that every business is online. Every musician, artist, cookie vendor and craftsperson has a website. If they don’t, they really should. Some people blog or sell items from third…

Day 18 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 17: “Keyword research” Today’s blog will be short, simple and sweet. Apparently more people than I would have otherwise realized do NOT know about the “other” inbox on Facebook. Most of the people who do freelance or some form of independent business–even if it is just…
Keyword research for blog writing
Day 17 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 16: “The shape of a heart” One thing that I think makes me particularly tuned-in to keyword research as it applies to blog writing is the fact that I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology. More than just having taken (and passed) the classes, the reason…
The shape of a heart
This is day 16 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 15: “Dedicated hashtags on Twitter” So, my heart is swelling quite a bit because I’ve been unable or unwilling to write poetry much over the last handful of years. I can admit that purging the negative feelings and pain felt much easier in poems….
Using dedicated hashtags on Twitter
This is day 15 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 14: “Inspirations to keep going” Using a dedicated hashtag Most Twitter users know by now what a hashtag is, but many seem to use the tool as a joke instead of as a way to search, connect and position. I like the idea…
Inspirations to keep going
This is day 14 of 30-day blog challenge. Read day 13 “Social media strategy” We all have those days where our heads ache, we’re overwhelmed and just plain tired. Being stuck inside and trying to focus with the entire family around is difficult. Humans are creatures of habit, and cabin fever affects me…
