If you've been to this page in the past few weeks, you'll notice that I have been neglecting this blog, only posting every now and again. Today when I fired up my blog program and was ready to get started with my first post since this long break, I encountered a severe database error that wiped out all of my files. Thankfully, I had the documents backed up, but all blog items had to be reposted from scratch.

As a result, all items are now in the November database, rather than dating back to May. I've also created a new category, Rants & Raves, to elaborate on, well, anything marketing-related that brings out the best or worst in me that I feel you should know for your own marketing. If you have any marketing tools or other marketing-related issues that would be relevant for this category, let me know at publisher at avenueeast dot com!
