Blog

We write occasional blog entries.  We started a blog when a marketing partner suggested that search engines liked them and we should add a new entry every week.  Eventually you have to ask "is there anything new you we can add with a new blog post?"  When the answer came as "not really" for us, we stopped creating them weekly.  Now, if we do think of something that adds to our blog content, we do create a new entry.

All are available below. Click on any of the headlines to see the full article.
