Sorry for the cliche, but the recent succession of snow storms in Central Ohio has inspired me to apply what I feel is an overwhelming side-effect of participating in social media — the snowball effect. [Read more →]

It seems like time has flown since I last posted a blog entry. The birth of a new baby boy and a great job that keeps me very busy is mostly to blame.

Even though I haven’t been actively writing on my blog, I have been keeping extremely busy! Below are a few of the projects I’ve completed over the past year:

Although it may appear as though I have fallen off the face of the Earth, I have actually been working hard creating Website designs, taking care of my almost five-year old son and nurturing a new baby growing inside me.

Maybe you’ve been there.  Spent hours meticulously tweeking a CSS/XHTML *standards compliant* Web design only to find that upon checking your *perfect* design in Internet Explorer 6, it is…COMPLETELY BROKEN.

Once you realize this is happening, you will never watch t.v. without noticing the persuasive ploys of these brand pushers again. [Read more →]

In honor of Blog Action Day 2008, I would like to recognize to the wonderful Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) volunteers that donate their time and energy to bring nourishment and hope to homebound individuals all across America. [Read more →]

It’s been nearly two weeks since I took the plunge. Joining the ranks of social media and eMarketing bloggers everywhere has been an exhilarating process, but things have not gone perfectly. I’m still in the process of learning all of the blogging etiquette rules–and as I’m sure many new bloggers can relate–I’ve unintentionally broken a rule (or two…or three). [Read more →]

Firstly, I want to explain that the following list is not comprehensive. I know there are many, many great bloggers out there that make huge contributions to the topic of social media. That being said, these are the most helpful, interesting social media centered (or influenced) blogs I have discovered this week through my newly formed Twitter community: @jennymccutcheon.
