It would appear this blog is in abeyance but au contraire … I’ve actually written quite a few posts. Unfortunately, well-intended as they may have been, they kind of sucked. So they remain offline in the half-baked stage.
I had one, however, that wasn’t too bad but I decided that instead of a long, windy post I would do it as several shorter posts, likely to run next week. They’ll be a combination of observations and suggestions about small businesses online. I’ve been working with a number of small businesses recently and have found some common problems, many of which I think can be easily solved.
The posts I plan will likely come across as painfully obvious but I’ve found they are real problems. They are only obvious if you spend a good deal of time online. If you’re in your store or hitting the streets trying to make sales, you probably aren’t spending as much time online as some do, or perhaps not in the same way.
This week I’ve also been indulging myself with my other blog, Piddleville, and what I’m calling 20 movies (if you’re on Twitter, the hashtag is #20movies). It’s just movies I’m listing over the next four weeks, weekends excluded, that are movies I think are worth watching, or worth watching again if you’ve seen them already.
There is only one problem with it, though. As I go through it, I want to watch all the movies again. Now I’ll have to find the time to do that.
