It’s the end of the year, and I’m stuffed with Christmas chocolates and delicious winter beer. I’m hardly in a state to think up something new to write. So, in case you missed something good, I’ve compiled my five most popular posts from the past year. Continue on to read a synopsis, see the first paragraph from each and access technologically advanced “hyperlinks” that will allow you to jump straight to each post!
Note that one of my Top 5 was from the past six weeks, but I’m not listing that because it just seems lazy.

How to Email Old Contacts in the New Year
January is nearly over, so it’s almost too late for me to use the words “New Year” in the title of a blog post. But a title of “How to Email Old Contacts Within a Few Weeks of Valentines Day” wouldn’t have had the same ring to it.

Twitter: It’s Not Just for People Who Use Buzzwords Anymore
You’ve probably heard of Twitter. You might think it’s cool. You might think it seems a little silly. You might be using it right now to let everyone know what you had for breakfast this morning.
Tips for Using Twitter for Your Business

#1 - Do You Know the Way to VR Postcards?
