Blogs As A Marketing Tool
Blogs are the biggest things to happen to the Internet since personal home pages. Blogging software has made it easy for the average Joe to create his own blog,and the thriving community of bloggers have spurred designers to release completely free, and professionally ![looking templates.However, other than being personal journals, blogs are a fantastic way to market your product or service. For example, you can create a blog about your company and the latest happenings, or what the management is doing. Or you could create a blog that showcases the development of your product, and the ways that it can improve someone's daily life.Using such inexpensive, low-maintenance technology to market your e-commerce site - without having to learn HTML or any of that gibberish - can create an awareness for your brand that conventional advertising can't, and you can typically do it for less than $10 a month.Either way, it is a site that your readers will appreciate for your honesty and the way that you put across your business/product/service. Typically blogs are a very casual medium, and are completely different from your usual corporate websites. Think of it as if you are conducting a conversation, and you will have a good idea of how a blog should be. Do not make the mistake of making your blog one big sales letter though! That will just create the opposite effect of what you want - turning off your readers and dismissing your blog instantly.If you do it correctly, your blog will soon be improving your business's reputation, and you will be getting more traffic over time. You will also have a great community of readers to bounce new product ideas or changes off. The more traffic you get to your blog, the more business you should be expecting. The thing about blogs is that they generate a lot of word-of-mouth recommendations, which are a great form of getting new customers, since they hear about you from a trusted source.Before you begin blogging, you will have to make a choice of blogging software to use. There are paid service providers such as Blogware's Blogtex, Expression Engine, or TypePad, which gives you everything from the software to the hosting service. Alternatively, you can also use free blog software such as or WordPress, which is just as powerful, and install them on your own web servers.Alvin Poh has been specialising in web development, content distribution, advertising and marketing strategies since 1995.

From Cleaning Lady to Entrepreneur: How Your Cleaning Business can Benefit
Many people never consider entering the cleaning business because of the images it has."Be a janitor (or cleaning lady or maid)? Me? That's too demeaning!" is a common reaction.In the past, these jobs had very low status. Nobody with a college degree would be caught dead ![doing them. These ideas are slowing changing, but since the business of cleaning only has about 6% self-employed entrepreneurs, it's still true that a lot of the jobs where you work for other people are dead-end and low-paying.If you are thinking of starting a cleaning business, you may have felt a little uncertain about how you would explain your new activity to family and friends. What would your sometimes-too-blunt friends say? How much teasing would you have to endure?It's been said that every negative has the seeds of a positive in it, and that's certainly true here. Fear of what other people will think means that a lot of people never will never consider the opportunities here... and you can laugh all the way to the bank!Today's self-employed cleaning business owners are entrepreneurs. That's just a fancy way of saying that they have a lot of freedom to create a business that makes an excellent profit, working hours they set. They can choose their clients.Rosana Hart offers business and other information at her site http://www.infoandhelp.com](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Bra and Panties ? Reassess Your Intimates Before Fall
There is a great chance that you forgot to do some of the most important cleaning tasks of the spring season. Your bra and panty drawer, housing some of your most essential lingerie, is a mess. Although taking the time in the middle of the nice summer days to clean and ![organize your intimates does not sound appealing, it is crucial to management of the unmentionables.The fall season brings with it loads of end-of-summer and back-to-school sales. When you have taken a proper inventory of your bras and panties, you are in the know when it comes to hitting the sales hard. The are some basic principles to follow that get missed by many in the bra and panty world. Getting the most out of your intimates is not difficult, especially when you are well informed.First things first. Cleaning out your lingerie drawers doesn't just mean putting things in a certain place and making the appearance a little neater. Throw out the old panties! Old panties are not like a worn in pair of blue jeans.Matching is important. We get used to wearing the same old intimates that we find to be most comfortable. We never know when we will be sharing them with someone special. It is very important to bring in matching bra and panties into your lingerie wardrobe.Prints versus solids. This can be argued until the wee hours of the morning. The answer is: both. Having a large selection of styles to choose from allows your mood to accurately pick the daily intimates.To thine own self be true. Choose intimates that you are comfortable wearing. Intimacy is different for everyone, and even though lingerie is many times worn for another person, if you are not comfortable in the ensemble, you won't feel sensual. Pick intimate apparel that makes you feel like the woman you are.Exploration is sensual. Although there is a possibility of contradicting the previous rule, it is crucial to venture out into unfamiliar lingerie worlds. Many times, we get trapped in our comfort zones without realizing some of the potentials that exist. You might not yet have discovered what your true fetishes are, or maybe you are too afraid of social taboos that may accompany such lingerie fetishes. Exploring the unfamiliar is exciting in its own sense, and more sensual with a friend.Trust your instincts when you are adding lingerie collections to your wardrobe. Some sets are for everyday wear, while others are for those intimate encounters, expected or unexpected. Getting the most out of lingerie will enhance and complete the setting that you choose to make special. We only get one chance to make it right, so plan carefully and use your imagination.Robb Ksiazek is a successful author and publisher for Lingerie-4U.biz. He has researched and written hundreds of articles to help you make the most of lingerie to enhance the intimate moments in our lives.](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Golf Fore Success
Golf has a crazy way of telling who we truly are as a person. Many people judge us by the way we play the game. Everyone has a favorite quote they live by, whether in business or in their personal lives. Here are five humorous golf quotes that will get you thinking about ![what is really important in life as seen through the game of golf:"Golf is the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off." --Chi Chi RodriguezAlways have something to look forward to each day. It may something you ordered by mail and are anxiously awaiting its arrival or just relaxing on a quiet Friday night cooking for yourself with some soft music. Treat yourself often. Golf has a way of taking your mind away from the daily grind."Golf is a game in which you yell 'Fore', shoot six, and write down five." --Paul HarveyNever cheat yourself out of anything. If you practice that, you will less likely cheat anybody or at anything. Remember, there is always an extra pair of eyes watching what we do and how we do it, especially in organizations."Golf is a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit it in all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for now reason at all you really stink." --Bob HopeDon't take life so seriously. Get out of your own self's way and let things happen. There is a reason why things happen to us?just listen for the answer and don't over analyze it. Our success in is determined by which path we take in life-follow the one that has a heart."If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business." --Joey AdamsBe sure to put balance in all aspects of your life. We realistically cannot be the best at everything. Concentrate on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Most successful men and women do just that. They delegate or hire their weak areas to others. It is the same for successful organizations-they concentrate on their strengths, not their weaknesses."If you think it's hard to meet new people, pick up the wrong ball." --Blake LochrieShow genuine interest in everyone you meet. Ask them about themselves instead of trying to impress them with your credentials. Remember, the top questions to ask anyone that will make a positive impression are: who, what, when, where, how, and why.Ryan James (R.J.)

Seven Valentine?s Day Tips for Spouses in ?Less-Than-Perfect? Marriages
Valentine's Day can be a depressing day when you're in an unhappy or shaky marriage. In every store or advertisement you see romantic cards, heart-shaped boxes of candy, or select jewelry for the special lover's day.Restaurants publish their special menus in advance and ![give food items names such as "lover's delight chocolate dessert." Radio stations sponsor contests focused around the theme of Valentine's Day, and newspapers run pictures and stories about spouses with long marriages.Everywhere you turn, you are bombarded with pictures and stories of happy lovers.What can you do to survive Valentine's Day when you are worried sick that your marriage is on the rocks? How do you deal with all the love hoopla when your spouse doesn't know if he or she really loves you or wants to stay married?The following seven tips will help you to keep your perspective and sanity:1. Be your own valentine this year and celebrate the wonderful person that you are. Make an appointment to have a massage or pedicure on Valentine's Day as a present to yourself. Or make plans with a friend to dine at a gourmet restaurant either on Valentine's Day or the day before. Buy yourself a new CD or book that you've been wanting. Leave work early, if possible, and do something fun such as going to a movie in the middle of the work afternoon.2. Make a commitment to love yourself and to treat yourself with care and respect. Resolve to take good care of yourself by exercising, eating right, taking time to relax and see friends, and getting enough rest. Throw any martyr tendencies out the window and make your health and wellbeing a top priority. This is not being selfish. If you don't nurture yourself first, you won't be in any shape to give quality energy and time to your marriage.3. Commit to being okay no matter what happens in your marriage. It's essential that you make yourself a promise that you'll have a quality life with or without your spouse. By showing respect for yourself and belief in your ability to thrive whether married or not, you'll be coming from a place of empowerment and strength. The attributes of personal strength and confidence attract others and engender respect, making you a more desirable partner.4. Accept uncertainty and see it as an opportunity to flex your faith muscles, build resiliency, and develop the discipline to live in the present moment as much as possible. With practice, you can learn to curb your tendency to worry about the future and can expand more of your energy into making the most of the time you have now. Everyone has periods of time when everything is up in the air and how things will turn out is unknown. And as poet Walt Whitman reminds us, "The future is no more uncertain than the present."5. Practice having fun, even when you're feeling miserable! Don't wait until your life is perfect to plan fun activities. Do something that you've wanted to do but have put off. You might have said to yourself, "One day I'm going to take piano lessons." Now is the time to get started. Make a list of things that you'd enjoy doing and pick one to put on your schedule. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to wait and see what happens in your marriage before you take steps to create a more satisfying life. The time to start enjoying life is now.6. Expand your support circle. Stay in touch with your friends, even though your first impulse may be to withdraw when you're feeling blue. Look for ways to increase your contact with others such as taking a night class, going hiking with a local hiking group, or attending services at your church, synagogue, or mosque. Don't let fear of questions keep you at home. You can be discrete and give a response such as, "I can't get into it, but I appreciate your caring and concern so very much. Thank you."7. Find your strong woman or strong man warrior energy. Go rappelling, learn to scuba dive, ride in a hot air balloon, try para-sailing, plan a backpacking trip, go horseback riding, lift weights, explore river rafting, dance around a campfire, sing powerful songs, or sign up for a martial arts class. Do whatever empowers you and make you feel strong and energetic. Stretch out of your comfort zone and surprise yourself by doing something different. Then congratulate yourself for your spunk.Tips adapted from the book Keep Your Marriage: What To Do When Your Spouse Says "I don't love you anymore!" by Nancy J. Wasson, Ph.D. and Lee Hefner.

The Seven Cs: Partnership Danger Signs - The 5th C: Control Issues
A series of articles exploring the seven critical areas that can indicate a partnership is in trouble.The 5th C: Control IssuesWhen control is in the picture it is a lose/lose proposition.First, it is an illusion that anyone can control a person or a situation. The need to ![control is born of fear, lack of trust and insecurity. A person who feels it is necessary to control is robbed of a sense of well being. In business, control or the attempt to control can occur in many venues.The attempt to control can go on at the top between partners or anywhere else in the organization where two or more people work together. It may be between a group of managers, or between a CEO and direct report. It can be a manager and the team for whom he or she is responsible. It might be an owner CEO and stock holders, or a member of the board of directors. Family members such as siblings often attempt to control each other, or a father hands the business to his son, but won't let go of the reins.When someone attempts to control, they expend enormous mental and emotional energy to hold things within boundaries. Controlling behavior is constrictive and confining. It takes its toll on one's ability to function in a healthy, stress free and creative manner.In business where the desirable goals are growth, expansion and creativity, this constricting behavior imposes the loss of these elements and seriously affects the bottom line. Here are some ways in which this loss is manifested:7 WAYS CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR EFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINEUnhappy, controlled employees do not work to capacity.Unhappiness breeds stress, illness and costs in sick leave and lack of productivity.Increased turnover is costly. Often businesses do not calculate the enormous costs around turnover such as costs for advertising, loss of the revenue until a new person is hired, trained and moved up to the level of the prior person, as well as a compensation package. There are higher taxes for Workman's Compensation when a business has employees leaving.Loss of clients who liked that person may leave.Projects that were left unfinished may never get completed.Demoralization of employees left behind.Overall lower level functioning when top managers and CEO's stifle the atmosphere by controlling behaviorAn example of controlling behavior is Lance, who was promoted to manager of a department in the bank where his expert financial skills earned him recognition. However, no one thought about or realized his people skills were not developed. He had never had any training in how to be a manager. Now faced with his new challenge his previous level of self confidence diminished to zero. But since he didn't want anyone to know it, he remained hidden a lot in his office, didn't interact in a personal way with his team members, and micro-managed them by requiring them to get his ok on everything they did, even ordering paper clips. The result was a demoralized, low functioning team made up of disgruntled members who felt devalued and lacked motivation to be creative and productive. This type of control, as in all controlling behavior, besides debilitating to the individuals involved, negatively affects the bottom line of the business.It is more cost effective not to place people in positions requiring skills and talents beyond their present level. A more positive solution would be to offer the candidate for promotion the opportunity for personal development through coaching.When partnerships are made up of family members it is even more pronounced. For example, older siblings may boss younger ones. They may diminish, victimize, browbeat, threaten or protect. Younger ones may be defiant or fall victim.Obviously, not only their relationship but the business and all of those involved in it will pay the price.How To Stop Controlling BehaviorHaving a coach on board helps the controlled person let his feelings be known in a non-threatening manner and also helps the controller grow from these revelations.Learn to build trust with the client(s) through coaching.Encourage productivity and creativity by showing how to value and appreciate each other.Learn how to delegate without fear of loss of statureEncourage input and creative ideas and the permission to do themShow a top executive that if his team members out perform him it reflects well on him. It may also secure his positioning for promotion because his department will be left in good hands thanks to her good management skills.Address the structure of the partnership or team to ascertain if it is in alignment with the vision and goals they set for the business and is in sync with their values.Coaching can be beneficial for anyone in an organization who exhibits controlling behavior. The first step to getting the behavior under control is self-awareness and that can be accelerated with the help of a coach. Then, as awareness is developed, previously negative situations can be turned around to be win/win for everyone.About The AuthorDorene Lehavi, Ph.D. is principal of Next Level Business and Professional Coaching.

Signature Frames - Your Guestbook and Wedding Frame Together At Last!
So you have been invited to a wedding. Whether you are a friend, family member or the proud parents, one of the most important, if not stressful decisions is what to buy the new couple. This new union will require a unique gift, a gift the newlyweds can actually use and ![enjoy. Is there such a gift that can provide these qualities while still being original?Well there is, and just when you thought all of the best wedding gifts and ideas have been taken. Here is a gift that will create a memorable presentation at the reception by including everyone at the wedding while simultaneously providing the newlyweds with a lifetime wedding display to remember their special day.It is called a signature frame, and if you're not familiar with this gift, it is a picture frame that can display photos of the newlyweds surrounded by signatures of their guests. It is a modern combination of a wedding frame and guestbook, it is the best of both and much more.Most brides will buy a traditional wedding photo package and use the traditional guestbook, but how often do couples really revisit their photo albums and what happens to that guestbook after the wedding? That's the great benefit of a signature frame because it will actually display those precious memories so they can be celebrated every day. In other words, the newlyweds can have their cake and eat it too.The other great benefit of a signature frame is that it can be part of a rehearsal dinner and/or wedding reception. Not only can it be signed by everyone in attendance but a fun idea is to fill the frame with pictures of the newlyweds when they were kids, dating, or during their engagement. That way, when guests autograph the signature mat, they can also view these fun pictures and be included in the couple's past history and memories.. The signed frame, complimented with the fun pictures, can then be presented to the new couple at the end of the reception as a gift from everyone. The newlyweds can later add their wedding and/or honeymoon photographs when they are ordered in the future.This special gift can give newlyweds a permanent framed display allowing them to re-live and celebrate their wedding day, everyday. This gift will truly become their first family heirloom.Shar Calder is the owner of First Class Framing, a picture framing company specializing in designing custom quality collage frames that allow you to display all of your special memories. http://www.firstclassframing.com](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Here Comes the Bride
As we hear the music begin to play the Bridal March, we all stand to welcome the new bride as she walks down the aisle in her white gown looking perfect, not a thing out of place.Not too long ago, I saw a photo of a bride on her wedding day getting ready to make this once ![in a life time journey down the aisle. But something wasn't quite right, in one hand she held a cigarette and in the other she was taking a swig out of a bottle of whiskey. It made me think about how we are going to present ourselves to Christ when we become united as His Bride and He as our Bridegroom.It goes without saying that a bride is always prepared. She puts so much thought and effort into this day, that there should be no room for surprises.Rev. 21:2 says;](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

Save Money on Your Wedding Dress
Your wedding is quite possibly the most important day of your life and you've probably been dreaming about it since you were about 12 years old. The dress you choose is ultimately going to be what people look at and remember about your wedding. That being said, you want to ![find the perfect dress that will make your guest's and husband's jaws hit the floor when you walk down the aisle. Are you thinking that may be unrealistic with your wedding budget? Think again! We have some of the best shopping tips in order to help you save money on your wedding dress. This way you can enjoy your wedding while maintaining a reasonable wedding budget. Shop Around ? Don't assume the first dress you try on is going to be the best deal or look the best on you. There are many dresses to try.Discount Bridal Salons ? Discount bridal salons often have sales of up to 75% off (especially on last year's merchandise) which can save you a lot of money in the long run. If you hear of a discount sale, make sure you know what you are looking for since many women go crazy at these events and dresses are often gone in a matter of minutes.Have Someone Make Your Dress ? If you have a talented friend or family member who you trust to make your wedding dress for you, you can save an enormous amount of money and still have a great dress for your big day.Look on the Internet ? the Internet is a great place to search and explore the many options of styles for your dress and you are guaranteed to find dresses which do not cost a fortune.Bridal Salons ? normal bridal salons (as opposed to discount) sometimes have sales which offer around 30% off last years merchandise. The salons near where you live are definitely worth looking into.Borrow or Rent ? Some women cringe at the thought of borrowing or renting a wedding gown, but others may not take it as seriously. Wedding dresses are really only worn for one day and renting or borrowing can really save you a lot of money.Seamstresses ? Contact a seamstress and ask for a quote. It's unlikely that a seamstress is going to charge you as much as a bridal salon. If you do this, make sure to ask about their experience in this area or past brides who you can contact. This will ensure they are reputable and there won't be any](http://www.bandu2.com/_binc/images/site/three_dots.gif)

A Great Question!
It's a question that we went back and forth with for awhile ourselves many moons ago. The "how" and "why" of our conclusions may be of some interest.

Celebrex? Vioxx? Can My Doctor Provide Me With Safe Prescription Painkiller
The news has been full of the recent FDA findings on a new set of drugs to help relieve pain. These drugs have been approved for re-release, but it is unclear whether Vioxx will be available again and whether physicians will feel comfortable prescribing Celebrex and Bextra ![for many of their patients.What happened to Celebrex and Vioxx?Celebrex, Vioxx, and Bextra are all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, pronounced en-said-z), similar to drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen, that are available over the counter (OTC). Celebrex, Vioxx and Bextra, (sometimes called Cox-2 inhibitors) however, use a slightly different method to achieve the same effect as their OTC cousins; this new method was supposed to limit the side effects some people experience on OTC drugs, including stomach and intestinal problems and allergic reactions. It was thought that because these drugs were less likely to cause such problems, they might be safer for patients with painful chronic conditions (like arthritis) to use for long periods of time.Unfortunately, some studies of Cox-2 inhibitors suggest that while they don't cause the sorts of side effects of other NSAIDs, they may create a greater risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) or stroke. For people already at risk for these diseases (including those who have already experienced a stroke or heart problem), taking these drugs over the long run may significantly increase the risk of heart problems.Now What Can I Do To Get Pain Relief?Until a final decision has been made on each of these drugs, what can your healthcare provider do to help you with pain management? Here are important pieces of information to think about in determining what next steps to take:* The Cox-2 inhibitors were not shown to be more effective than other NSAIDs, like naproxen. If you've been on or thinking about trying Vioxx or another Cox-2 inhibitor, you may be able to use an older anti-inflammatory drug. Naproxen, one of the older NSAIDs, may be an anti-inflammatory drug that actually lowers heart attack risk.* Some people started on a Cox-2 inhibitors because they had a stomach ulcer or other risk factors for stomach or intestine bleeding (for example, people on blood thinners), which may be made worse by older anti-inflammatory drugs. For some people who are at risk for bleeding, other options like acetaminophen may be an option.* There are lots of other medical options. Steroids can be used for shorter periods of time to manage inflammatory pain from diseases like arthritis and lupus. Opioids (drugs that resemble opium), such as oxycodone, codeine, and hydrocodone (Vicodin) can help with pain management, but they can have serious side effects, and some of them can be addictive, so working closely with your healthcare worker is key to determine if these will work for you. In addition, some antidepressants may help with chronic (long-term) pain, though the way this works isn't yet known* New procedures may be of assistance to you. Nerve block therapy (in which certain nerves are temporarily anaesthetized) can relieve pain temporarily. "Implantable "technologies, like spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems and implantable drug delivery systems, do seem to help some people for whom other pain relief methods don't work.* If you aren't getting the relief you need (with or without the use of Cox-2 inhibitors), you may want to consult a pain specialist.
