It’s a big week: I’m getting married! While I’ve shared a number of love stories on this blog in recent years, including how proud I am of my soon-to-be husband, I’ve never publicly revealed the story of how we met. In fact, the only place I’ve shared this story — aside from with family and […]

This month, my boyfriend’s family came to visit from the UK. My boyfriend’s mother had one request: Could we secure tickets to the Holocaust Memorial Museum? She’d wanted to go to the museum during her visit to the States last year, but both times she stopped by to pick up tickets, the lines were hours […]
Guess what begins again February 4th? My Twitter networking course, Become a Twitter Power User. Join us if you want to get MORE out of Twitter! I thought everyone knew about this Twitter tip.

That's why I created Become a Twitter Power User, a course that will run for the first time next month — because YOU asked for it. Some of you […]

I was at D.C.’s monthly WordPress Meetup, checking in on Foursquare. I tagged my check-in with the event hashtag, #wpdc, and posted it to Twitter. If […]
This video was originally part of my new social media course, Make Your Own Luck. (That course, by the way, starts March 5. A third of the spots are taken, so if you want one, sign up now!) But then I realized this would be helpful to many of you, too. So consider this your […]
