When you take on any new procedure, you need to do it like it's natural. Doing something out of the box is a dangerous strategy that will land in the 'nobber' bin if you don't do it with style. Showing your honest interest in other people is probably the safest and #1 rule. Nice video though. I'm off the TheNextWeb in Amsterdam later this week and i'll definitely be thinking about my elevator pitch while i'm there. Steve. UMPCportal.com Celebrating 1 million page views in March.

My wedding photographer passed out about a dozen of those during our wedding, with our engagement photo on the front and his name, phone #, and Web site on the bottom right hand corner. We still have it to this day on our fridge, 5 years later. He handed them out to close friends and family (they're not cheap, so I guess that's why he only had 10-12), and as far as I can tell, ALL of them still had them on their fridges to this day. Great way for people to remember you. Oh, and he was an awesome photog anyway; he gets tons of biz, but it was definitely a clever marketing tool that keeps him uppermost in our minds whenever any of us is asked for a wedding photog reference.

Should I change the site to a nice blog site like problogger.net or what should i do? It seems easier to have a blog site than a message board. If I do change it to a blog what are some sites I can go about doing this or a place I can download a blog script so I can install it. I'm trying to build a community for ppl to talk about adsense but the forum just isn't working. I think a blog like this might give me better results...e-mail me if you can help me..Thanks a bunch I have a site http://www.chatadsense.com It’s currently setup as a forum / message board.
