For someone who has always dreamed of making a living as a writer, I spend surprisingly little time reading anything besides Goodnight Moon and The Cat in the Hat. I love to go to the book store and I always come home with a pile of books that I am dying to devour.
Let's be honest, it's hard to make money off of a blog, but it is possible! There are a large group of people who have successfully done so. Generally, if you have a blog attached to your business website you won't be blogging for profit (that's more about driving traffic IN, not out).
When you're quoted a price by a web designer to design your new website, the costs of web hosting often aren't included. If it's not mentioned, ask. This is an area where there should be full disclosure. Where is your account being hosted? For how long? For how much?

Thankfully, how to achieve them is not necessarily something that you need to know how to implement yourself; a good customer oriented web developer will happily assist you with these things.
Business travel is often a necessity whether you work for a Fortune 500 company or own a small home based business. Only so much business can be conducted by telephone, e-mail, computer and fax. There will come a day when you need to travel for...
I received an e-mail from a college friend I hadn't heard from in ten years. He had scanned a bunch of photographs from back in the day and sent them to me. And BAM! There I was, partying like it was 1999 because it was — well — about...
Bring lots of juice, crackers, and cookies for treats.
