I will add more later. Haveto get used to a few at a time.

Come join me and and make me your firend.

I was talking to my webhost the other night and practically crying becuase this computer was getting worse and worse and no one could figure out why. I met Dena about 3 or 4 years ago in my Small Business Referral Network. After about a year of getting to know her I switched my hosting when the old one wanted too much to add another domain name.

Anyhow she is a hands on webhost, and takes care of her clients. So we were talking and she was finding out what I had tried. I told her I emptied the cache every frew days and it wasn’t helping. Then I told her that there was a box marked offline content and I didn’t know what it was. She mentioned it was just cookies and a light bulb hit us both. I told her that it locked up the machine when i clicked offline content. She said to let it run.

Well I did, I let it run thru the night. And low and behold when I got up the next morning it was done. Disk Clean up took about 15 minutes and defrag about 2 1/2 hrs.

I went from 17% free space to 72% free space. I feel like I have a new computer. And all this from networking over at the SBRN.

You knew it had to come.  Time to talk a little business.  On Thursday afternoons I attend a free chat on blogging in our SmallBusinessReferralNetwork (SBRN) chat room.   Today we were talking about taking a blog tour.  Since I’d like to be part of the tour I am putting her twomomsinablog  blog here.   It is in the list of blogs on the side.  The idea is that I list her blog here and let her know that I have done this and she comes to visits then puts my blog on hers.  I think I have that straight.  This blog is a little of everything, personal, crafts,  and business.

I also host two chats,  one Travel Talk on Thursday nights at 8:30 pm   and the other on Business Finance  Tuesday nights at 9 pm.  Anyone reading this is welcome to come and see what we are all about.

This is all put on by the SBRN and other scheduled weekly chats are:  concepts for Internet Marketing, Direct Sales business Buildiing, Podcasting, Time Management, Health Connections about womens health, Secrets of SEO, Internet Q and A.

Then we have Friday Markets where members of our Expo can come present their businesses and specials to our visitors.  On Saturdays we have a biz mixer and anyone is welcome.  We talk about business, things that affect us as buisness owners, how to promote our businesses.

Come join us and see how we may benefit you. 

 

 

On Thursday nights at 10 pm ET we have an internet Q & A  chat.  Tonight part of what we were discussing was blogs and trackbacks.

I found out I wasn’t the only one that doesn’t understand trackbacks.  I know it has something to do with linking our blogs together.  But we were playing with blogs and posting messages on others blogs but I don’t see any links coming up here.  So guess we didn’t exactly do it right.  

 If anyone can explain how trackbacks work in kindergarten language, so I can report back next week to our chat  I sure would appreciate it.

Because of this chat however, I do understand servers and scripts a bit better. Thanks Shore!

I am in the Small Business Referral Network (SBRN).  The SBRN sponsors a chat room and an ongoing Expo.   We have had people (newbies to chatting) just come in and jump in and start talking about themselves with hardly saying HI to everyone.   I have written this article to help people new to chatting to know there are a few unwritten rules.  Please leave feedback if you can add anything to it.

CHAT ETIQUETTE 
 
Oh boy, you just found a new group to chat with.   You just came in all excited and just started talking but no one is talking to you.  You’re disappointed and don’t know why you’re being ignored.

The right chat group is a wonderful thing.  We make friends, we can get answers to our questions. We get great ideas about business activities and family.   The people in the group can sympathize when something goes wrong, will shout HOORAY when something goes right.  We get business referrals from others in the chats.
