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:

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.

Positive 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!
