Technical Tidbits™

I know, the silence around here has been deafening! Sorry about that.

The granddaughter was here for 10 days visiting from out of town, and I’ve been super busy playing catch-up! Busy is always a good thing in business thought!

Just wanted to tell you I’m back to work, granddaughter gone, and moving forward again.

I’ve been making notes throughout my absence and have I got a TON of posts to put up here! So much has been going on! Technology never takes a vacation.

So, first up is our tech strategy calendar for the rest of the year.

August: “It’s a Small World”

If you end up having that Disney song playing in your head this month and hate me for it, it means my strategy worked! Just kidding. The strategy relates to how the techology has made our world much smaller!

September: “Back to (Tech) School”

October: “MONEY! How to make it and manage it – ONLINE!”

November: “It’s a Tech Holiday!”  (Technology as it relates to the holidays.)

December: “2011 Tech”

That being said, what does that mean to you, the reader of this blog or visitor to our site?

It means that along with our regular features related to tech developments that should concern you, there will be articles that relate to the Tech Strategy of the month also. Our Radio Show – Technical Tidbits on BlogTalk Radio, and the Technical Tidbits Newsletters also will carry the theme for the tech strategy of the month.

Just what is this whole technology strategy concept you might ask?

Technology encompasses every aspect of our life from you reading this message to your work or business and every aspect of your modern life. You are digitally connected with cell phones, computers, GPS systems, e-mail, and so much more.

Since our average visitor, student, customer or client is a person who uses technology in their job, their business (solopreneurs and SMBs), and is usually self-taught or has wanted to learn more about making technology work for them, I developed a monthly tech strategy theme to help maximize your use of technology.

I will present to you strategies – methods, if you will – that you can incorporate into your life or business that will help you use the tools available to you in the most efficient way possible.

And if you’ve been following our blog and website for any length of time, you know I do so in a very easy-to-follow way that doesn’t talk over your head or beneath you.

This is the next phase in the new look, feel, and information on our site.  Soon, you will have access to the newly designed site with information that will help move your skills and knowledge in a way you never knew existed!

And as for the other posts I need to get out here, well, you’ll just have to watch your RSS feed or check back here! Because I’m back to work!

If you missed the very interesting discussion with Louise Barnes-Johnston from Frontline Results about how business owners can protect themselves from business identity theft!
