How to Be Rich Now
Written by Erika L Rich on April 14, 2010
I read this post by Christine Kane today and loved the message she had to send. A lot of it is just being in a truly positive mindset, but a few of these tricks are worth doing, whether you are an eternal optimist (like me!), cynic, pessimist or just plain old down in the dumps. So give it a read, share it, re-post it on your blog (be sure to use her author box at the bottom) or print it out an...

Mama Sox and her Didgeridoo
Written by Erika L Rich on April 6, 2010
Just listened to Crystal Bowersox belt out another fabulous performance on American Idol Season Nine. She sang Paul McCartney's "Come to Together" and was accompanied by a Didgeridoo player. A Didgeridoo you say? Yups ... a Didgeridoo. The Didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu or didge) is a wind instrument. Originally developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia over 1,500 years a...

The Lodge at Copperhead Grand Opening Week
Written by Erika L Rich on April 5, 2010
And now for something completely different, a page out of our social calendar. Yups, I'm not all work and no play. I mean a gal has to be able to relax sometimes right? The Lodge at Copperhead (or, as most folks, including us, around here call it: "Copperhead Lodge") had their Grand Opening festivities this past week. We are very glad someone was able to rescue this venue from the depths of vac...

My Social Media Kick in the Pants
Written by Erika L Rich on March 30, 2010
I came across a pretty good blog post this morning looking for permalink do's and don'ts from my pal Vicky over at PrairieHarpy. The title is "10 Mistakes Made by Social Media Newbies" and it was written not too long ago (December 2009) by Shari Weiss and is an exceptional list for people just getting into Social Media Marketing. It made me think about some things that have been rolling around ...

Written by Erika L Rich on March 29, 2010
I spent a few 10 minute bundles this morning playing around with Postling to see if it was a usable service. There are definitely some features in here that I like, especial the "brand tracking". In fact, that might actually be the best feature of Postling. I'm not so sure the web needs yet "another" all services in one application unless it quickly becomes the end-all, be...

Digg! Digg.com that is. I love this bookmarking site. They have a great community and this is the first site I choose to use now when I see an item on the internet that begs "digging". I decided to wax eloquent on Digg.com because Larry Brauner wanted to know what all his Facebook friends' favorite service was. Digg is mine. What is Digg? Digg is a social media news website that gives users ...
