    Joanna, great post! I'll be printing this one out.

    And probably tweeting it. *grin*

    Thanks,
    Peg.

    Peg, I returned from Malice intending to conquer this tweeting stuff…

    Thanks so much!

    Wow, what a great list. I'm sure we are all familiar with these items, but take way to much time trying to figure them out. That can lead to a lost thought or idea. Having a list like this can really save time.
    Thanks.
