Boosted Mobile on YPulse

BoostMobile is among the leaders for what Anastasia terms "bottom-up brand building". Supporting artists is always cool.

Quick PS

Oh, BTW - I'm going to the YPulse Mashup in SF on the 16-17th of July. I saw some dude from Boost was going - is he cool? I'll get you the name from work tomorrow.

I'm here, I'm here...

Well, at least the two of us are still trying to keep at it!
Does the Cassandra Report cost anything to subscribe to? Sounds cool....

So - first things first - labels are easy. As you type a post, just below where you're typing you see "post options" and "labels for this post", with a text box next to it. Type in labels that you feel characterize your post - they can be serious or tongue-in-cheek - separated by commas.

To include links in a post is a little more "code", but not too bad.
For a link, you open the code with (I need to spell this out so it doesn't just make a link) - "less-than" a space href equals, then paste the web address, enclose it in quotes and a "greater-than". Then type the text that you want to be clickable, followed by "less-than forward-slash a greater-than". - So, like, the "less-than, greater-than"s serve as brackets - "a" starts the string and "forward-slash a" ends it.

Similar code for inserting images from other sites. You open with "less-than img src" (minus the quotes), insert the web address, enclosed with quotes and a "greater-than". To get the web address of the image, right click it and go to properties.
Let me know if that's confusing.

How are things? Weather here is gorgeous, though we could use some rain. Sunny and 80s. Summer in Rochester isn't all that bad. I've been very busy at work. I finally realized that to get away from the feeling that I was banging my head against a wall - producing great insights that seemed to go nowhere, I needed to do some switching up in the job space. Email me if you want to chat more on this. It's a good thing.
Because of this, I'm taking another trip to CA, but just a quick "hop" to SF June 26-27.
July travel - SF for the 16-18th, arriving in SD 9:30pm on the 18th, in the office the 19th & 20th, then leaving for home early the 21st. What times does SurfDiva do her thing? If it was evening, then I could do it... Or maybe we can connect somehow anyway. I'll be in the Rancho Bernardo area - kinda on the North side of SD, with a car....

Well, I have to go help my husband prep dinner. We picked strawberries today - he's promised me a strawberry-rhubarb pie, yummmm. We've been doing a bunch of work in the yard and enjoying our space of late.
Hope all is well in the OC. More soon, promise.

How to...

Hey there!
Aprille, I think we've lost the boys...
Bummer about your June travel. Still let me know when you do make it out here cuz I'd love to see you!
Hey, can you tell me how to create labels and permalinks when blogging? I am a computer retard and have no clue where to even start!
As far as exciting updates...I don't really have any except that summer is here! I haven't been to any new events/conventions. I'm learning how to navigate through Claritas for some segmentation research (ugh!) and I just got the Intelligence Group's Cassandra Report (love love love it!) But that's all I've got to report so there you have it.

P.S. Thanks for the site reco's. I'm about to check them out now.
