Creating a blog has proven to be a fun and interesting! I have had a chance to look at many blogs to see what I like and the challenge for me is learning how to incorporate that into my own blog. At this point, the blog looks plain, but there is much going on behind the scenes to give a custom look. We will have a great logo that is under development and I am working side by side with my webmaster to make the site easy to navigate. I am also writing some content for you.
I am also working out some details for the Launch Week series. In the inaugural series you will get a flavor for the kind of features you can expect from this blog and there may even be a great giveaway!
As of now, I am expecting to launch the blog on Monday, March 16, 2009! Go ahead and subscribe now to be receive updates!
