The difference one letter makes... Betsy goes from QnA to XNA...

Betsy at the Blog Business Summit!
They've got a stellar lineup at the Blog Business Summit in Seattle at the Bell Harbor Conference Center this year, and I'm tickled pink to be part of it for these panel sessions: Oct 26 11:30 Building Communities online 3:15 - Corporate blogging policy Read More...
