I have learned so much from all of you over the past year that I have finally decided to take the “next step” myslef and re-launch my newsletter with an online marketing tip.

I just happened to run across a “gem” of a tool by accident. I was doing some competitive analysis by looking at my local neighborhood yellow pages. I noticed that there was only one listing, for “Web Design Services”.

I then decided to go to the Verizon SuperPages Website , clicked on the Advertise with Us link and noticed that they provide a free basic business listing within the city, town, (or county in my case) of the business is located.

There is a fee however to highlight the listing or to add a logo, but I’m sure that one can get mileage from a basic free listing.

I finally took to plunge into Flickr and decided to my use my account to organize portfoilos. I found my mother’s modeling photos while going though her things. So I decided to let her have her “infinite 15 minutes” of fame. She will have a fixed place in ths blog on the right corner of this blog.

My poem, “A City Halt Calling” was selected as a semi-finalist in Poetry.com’s International Open Poetry Contest. It has also been selected to be published this Spring. The poem addressed what I felt during the New York City Transit Strike from December 20, 2005 to December 22, 2005.
