4 PR uses for the iPad

27. April 2010

Share I’ll admit it, I’m a Apple fanboy. Not a huge one, but definitely a fanatic. But, I will also say I’ve been more than pessimistic about the newly launched iPad in more ways than one (despite reviews like this from Engadget).

Minnesota bloggers unite!

Share A little over two years ago, I started blogging. At the time, I didn’t know all that much. I didn’t really understand all the different platforms (and there are more now). I needed to learn more about the SEO side of the equation. And, I knew very few people who were successful bloggers (save [...]

This was a vacation—make no bones about it. But, I sometimes find it tough to shut the hamster wheel in my head off. As we roamed the spectacular [...]
