Show Numbers as Figures in Online Content
April 17th, 2007 |All numbers should appear as figures with the exception of: Phrases and sayings. Proper names. First word in a sentence — better to rewrite so it isn’t the first word.

Keeping Score with SMS and E-mail
April 16th, 2007 |My daughter played in a national volleyball tournament this past weekend (don’t ask how her team did). Since it was a large event, spectators had to download and print tickets to attend.

Freelance vs. Corporate: The Humorous Version
April 13th, 2007 |We’ve covered the good and bad of self-employment. Breaking away from the corporate world contains more advantages, but ones we wouldn’t want to admit. No big brother.

Vista and AntiVirus Apps
April 10th, 2007 |I’m working on a project that requires my installing Vista and Office 2007 (on a computer with no important data and programs, of course). Installing Vista went fine. Installing anti-virus was a nightmare. We tried to install the trial versions just to get going… and Microsoft offered four choices. Not one worked. After fiddling with [...]

Writing with a Short Deadline
April 9th, 2007 |Must blog fast. Finally got go ahead on a project with about 150 written pages due before May 1. Best thing to do is just type it all out. Don’t worry about being perfect.
