Dear NAWW!

I am delighted to see the NAWW blog. Blogging is a wonderful means of communication - and so incredibly easy to use. I started my own blog in December last year, and although it’s still in construction, I’d like to share it with the community - you can find it at maxgrendel.blogs.com.

It started out as a place for me to share my own experience as a budding writer (after fifteen years spent in the rather heartless information technology industry), but then it kind of took a life of its own. I’ve added some links to resources in the Washington, DC area, and a bit of my own writing. Comments, suggestions, thoughts - they’re all welcome.

All the best,

Mona Lovin - NAWW Member

Hi NAWW Members!

On this week’s conference call–NAWW Member, Debbie Oliver–asked “Do I have to pay to have my web site submitted to search engines?”

These are the three places we recommend you do it for FR*E.

1) Yahoo!
2) Open Directory Project at http://www.dmoz.org. This is where Hotbot & Lycos get their entries.
3) About.com

For more information on search engines, click here: http://www.selfpromotion.com/

Thanks to NAWW for the jump start it gave my site when launched in 2002. I’m happy to share we had over 500,000 hits in the month of January, 2005. We finally hit the half million mark!

Blessings,
