February 18, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Would you get up at a funeral and shout an advertisement for your business? Would you run onto the field of the World Series at the bottom of the ninth with bases loaded to get in a word for your company? Would you stop the movie halfway through, turn on the lights, and make everyone sit through a presentation of your latest product? Of course not-at the very least, doing any of these things would get you thrown out. So why is it any different on the Internet? If you want to get back links to your site from blogs, websites, and other public online forums, it’s helpful to understand some SEO... [Read the full story]

There seems to be some confusion about our role as parents and educators regarding our children’s use of technology. In other words how do we teach technology etiquette to Gen Y-ers who are characterized as “knowing it all” especially when it comes to technology. After all, they aren’t called the Net Generation for nothing! Let me start by start by saying that yes, most definitely, we as parents and educators have a responsibility to teach our kids how to use technology responsibly and respectfully.

There are very few people in this world who posses the kind of social graces intrinsic to the characters in an Austen novel. Some would argue the children of the “information revolution” lack social propriety altogether. Despite the rumours that etiquette is dead, many of us do manage to exercise a little common courtesy toward our fellow man. After all etiquette exists simply to make the whole society caper a little less confrontational. The introduction of wireless communication has taken social interaction to an unprecedented level. Mobile technology allows people to communicate regardless... [Read the full story]

Happy New Year! New attitude? New habits? The last year brought many changes, unfortunately, when it comes to proper technology use, many still do not take their business e-mail habits and activities as seriously as they should.

Flea Market Etiquette
November 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment
I grew up going to flea markets. My parents were antique dealers in Chicago and my childhood was spent going to auction halls and flea markets. Not just going to flea markets. Getting up in the middle of the night to drive for hours to go to Wisconsin or Indiana to be the “early birds who got the worm.” This included wearing gloves due to the almost freezing temperatures and each of us carring our own flashlight! I’ve probably been to more flea markets than most and as a hobby I make glass and crystal jewelry and suncatchers that I show at local craft fairs and flea markets.... [Read the full story]

Being asked to wear those bridesmaid dresses is something that any lady wants – albeit not for countless times as in the case of Jane Nichols in the movie 27 Dresses.
