Greetings!

Welcome to a fresh new year. A chance to make a difference in yourself, your business and your life. I hope you continue to find this information valuable on your path to, well, wherever you want it to take you.

Look forward to seeing you at an event or workshop sometime soon,

What's Hot for 2008? Widgets of Course.
RobbinFavoriteCoffeeIf you haven't heard about widgets for the Web yet, you will. They're little programs you can slip right into a website to add value and make your site more interactive. Widgetbox is one source, and there are many others.

And there are sites that let you modify your own. See how I've used the Upcoming.org widget to list events on my website (in the left sidebar). You can also go to the bottom of my contact page to see my favorite coffee shops that I keep in Yelp.

If you're looking for new advertising real estate, try Clearspring for a service that puts ads on widgets. Expect these little devils to pop up all over the Web-o-sphere in 2008.
