Why I Left Big Community Forums for Facebook and Twitter
Is this you? You sit down at the computer, ready to start getting stuff done, but instead you spend 30-40 minutes checking in at and participating in community forums.

21 Creative “About Me” Layout Ideas
Last week, I asked everyone who follows me on Twitter or “Likes” my Facebook Fan Page what topic they wish they scrapped about more. One answer that seemed to come up over and over was “me” (not me, as in scrapbooking about Sir Scrapalot, but me meaning about themselves. Aren’t you glad I cleared that up?).

Right now, I feel like I’m on the losing end of the battle, and here are some things that I am planning on doing to start winning this battle again. Continue reading
