Well, I
am proud to announce that my brand name
page
for Marketing Warrioress on my BLOGi360 site
is
ready! I had NEVER worked with word press before
so it
took some catching on but I love it.
thanks
to my best friend, Sharon, for helping me
with an
image I love that is my pic, iCop seal
AND
contact info all in one :-) without further ado,
as they
say in show biz- here it is:
http://www.marketingwarrioress.com/
I also
was told about a really neat site that makes
widgets
for fund raisers, etc. and have one on the
Rim
home page and the MW.com one. The page for this
is
http://jantallent.chipin.com/roof-and-kitchen-repair
Now
have made sales / gotten donations to the tune of
$600 to
fix my roof and kitchen. This is enough to
PATCH
my roof but will be another temporary solution
like
the new roll roofing one I had gotten in the
spring.
Chances are good it will storm next week as
predicted,
I am fervently hoping it does not.
There
is a sign up on the Marketing Warrioress page
for yet
another ezine, MW Tips. It is still in the
planning
but I did get one subscriber, lol.
remember,
you can get updates on my personal and
professional
undertakings, if you like, here:
http://jantallent.blogspot.com/
and
follow me on twitter:
but I
must warn you, not only it is great for
quick
messages to friends or family and a GREAT
business
networking medium, it IS addictive :-)

The
Importance of a Sitemap
By
highlighting the importance of having a well constructed
sitemap,
I hope that you will be able to tailor your own
sitemap
to suit your own needs.
1)
Navigation purposes
A
sitemap literally acts as a map of your site. If your
visitors
browse your site and gets lost between the
thousands
of pages on your site, they can always refer
to your
sitemap to see where they are, and navigate
through
your pages with the utmost ease.
2)
Conveying your site's theme
When
your visitors load up your sitemap, they will get
the
gist of your site within a very short amount of time.
There
is no need to get the "big picture" of your site by
reading
through each page, and by doing that you will be
saving
your visitors' time.
3) Site
optimization purposes
When
you create a sitemap, you are actually creating
a
single page which contains links to every single page
on your
site. Imagine what happens when search engine
robots
hit this page -- they will follow the links on
the
sitemap and naturally every single page of your site
gets
indexed by search engines! It is also for this purpose
that a
link to the sitemap has to be placed prominently
on the
front page of your website.
4)
Organization and relevance
A
sitemap enables you to have a complete bird's eye view
of your
site structure, and whenever you need to add new
content
or new sections, you will be able to take the
existing
hierarchy into consideration just by glancing
at the
sitemap. As a result, you will have a perfectly
organized
site with everything sorted according to its relevance.
From
the above reasons, it is most important to implement
a
sitemap for website projects with a considerable size.
Through
this move, you will be able to keep your website
easily
accessible and neatly organized for everyone.

Quotes
I have
always been delighted at the prospect of a new day,
a fresh
try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic
waiting
somewhere behind the morning.
-- J.B.
Priestly (1894-1984) English Author
and
It is
better by noble boldness to run the risk of being
subject
to half the evils we anticipate than to remain
in
cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
--
Herodotus (485 - 425BC) Greek Historian

The Law
Of The Garbage Truck
One day
I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the
airport.
We were driving in the right lane when
suddenly
a black car jumped out of a parking space
right
in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on
his
breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by
just
inches! The driver of the other car whipped
his
head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi
driver just smiled and waved at the guy.
And I
mean, he was really friendly. So I asked,
"Why
did you just do that? This guy almost ruined
your
car and sent us to the hospital!"
This is
when my taxi driver taught me what I now call,
"The
Law of the Garbage Truck." He explained that many
people
are like garbage trucks. They run around full of
garbage,
full of frustration, full of anger, and full
of
disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need
a place
to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't
take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them
well,
and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread
it to
other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The
bottom line is that successful people do not let
garbage
trucks take over their day. Life's too short
to wake
up in the morning with regrets, so..... Love
the
people who treat you right. Pray for the ones
who
don't. You gotta love them too!
