Because I'm starting to work on my 2010 Resolutions, always a good idea to review the accomplishments of the year that's about to end. So, without further ado:Professional goals: use my personal strengths every day; and change my relationship with email. - The reason why my email was bothering me was because for as long as I've used email (since 1993 or so?) my inbox reflected "to do" items and

I have three more in draft stages, so don't be surprised when I post even MORE links to articles on this topic. I find that I really enjoy writing articles about things I do professionally, plus in the future it will be a good way to show that I know what I'm doing in my field. For now, they are great fun to write, easy to research, and get a lot of page views!When Twitter lists came out, I

I had so much success with my recipe posts that I decided to toss another one out there - this is gor Gluten-Free Lasagna - it's basically my mom's "Lazy Day Lasagna" recipe with instructions for GF pasta.And because (a) there is a wealth of information available , and (b) Suite 101 had an interview challenge, I interviewed my pal Mel about her work (she needs free marketing, I need an easy

In the past few weeks I've written 2 articles about creative pursuits that are close to my heart. While I was shopping around mentally and price-wise for a new instrument to learn, I found a dearth of articles on how to make that selection.So I wrote an article based on the Q&A and forum responses I read on the topic: How to Pick Which Instrument to Play! Ultimately, I chose the ukulele because

Quite frankly, I'm having a hard time keeping up with the Examiner minimums, and it's hard for me to come up with writing topics on a regular basis. Plus, as is witnessed by my neglected blogginess, it's also hard to sqeeze the time in to write new posts on a regular basis.So, don't be surprised when I back off of the Examiner side of things.... here are the 6 posts I've done in the past 5 weeks

I have it on my to-do-list to update my blog weekly. WEEKLY!That means that I've missed - count 'em - FIVE blog posts in the past few weeks. Disgraceful!Luckily, I haven't been so remiss in updating my online articles, or doing my other to-do's.Speaking of to-do's - and that pesky goal list - I never did update you on my 2009 resolutions. I've updated that list for 4Q09 so the last 3 months of

After all of the serious and helpful articles, I have to sprinkle in a few "puff" pieces! So, i wrote about:gluten-free alternative to play-dohhow cakewrecks makes me happy to be gluten-freeoh, and a not so fluffy piece about a new gluten-free cookbook....But now I've thoroughly linked to all of my new articles! Yay! check' em out! :)

Another common theme among my Gluten-free articles are things pertaining to medical research and news coverage surrounding celiac. There have been everything from a write-up on Oprah's website to several new medical studies.There's the depressing one frome Jama about people dying because of celiac,The equally bleak bone-eating autoimmune response in the NEJM,and the vastly more upbeat hopeful

Going gluten-free can be daunting, this I know and understand very well. So, I wrote a series of articles about everything from clearing the kitchen of gluten, to making that first gluten-free grocery list. For the more experienced, I did create a tip sheet on saving money on gluten-free shopping as well. Plus, I added a few more Atlanta-specific tips on Examiner.Then, I wrote an article about

Because I wanted to mention how to make gluten free broth for recipes on Examiner, I went ahead and posted the soup recipes that go along with them on Suite101. It is plain astounding how many hits I'm getting on these two simple, old-fashioned recipes. The concept for both is the same. Prepare meat. Add spices. Simmer until tender. Add Veggies. Yum.That's about it.Homemade old-fashioned

Ok, so every now and then I remember that I'm trying to establish myself in this ever-growing field as a social media marketer and someone in the know. So, in addition to plugging away on the 9-5 job, writing examiner articles, and Suite 101 articles, I still find time to learn more about my career.Today, I did a little investigation into changes at Facebook.

Holy mackerel, where has the time gone? I thought I'd been updating this blog weekly, and here it's been nearly a full month since the last time I logged in. Yeesh!A lot has happened this month.... Let's see.....I posted my 100th Article on Suite 101 on 9/29/09. (Wooo Hoooo!!!) Actually, as of this morning, I'm up to 103, so I've exceeded my 2009 new years resolution of 101 articles by December.

So, in preparation for this year's dragon*con, I wrote two evergreen articles for Suite 101. ("Evergreen" means that folks can search for the same keywords next year, and the year after that and still get valuable information out of the articles. There was nothing specific to 2009 in them.) I wrote one for folks in Atlanta looking for something goofy to do on Labor Day weekend, and a second one

I was sooooo sick last week. I only made it to work for two days. Then there was Labor Day weekend, and the short work week... excuses, excuses.

Today's article for Suite 101 was actually an answer to a forum post from another Suite-y. She asked which topics make more revenue on the site.The PC response is that they all do. However, ad-click behavior is most closely related to the purchasing process of research, evaluation and selection. This is the brainiest article I've written in a good long while, and it's fun to write about my

Howdy, sorry I've been so remiss.So, I get the Death card in Tarot readings a lot, so I decided to clear up some misconceptions in a recent article about the imagery and what it really means. Then I saw in the search results that someone was looking for "how to read playing cards like tarot cards", so I went ahead and wrote that, too.Then I did some interesting car research at work, and decided
