WordPress CMS Websites

Do you know what software was used to build your website?  Many business owners don’t, but most prefer a website powered by a Content Management System (CMS).  A CMS website is the type that the average person is able to update and maintain without having to have special techie skills.

Love Those Facebook Likes!

This morning as I attended my weekly BNI Networking Excellence chapter meeting, we discussed ways to support each others’ businesses online.  Craig Collier (owner of Fitness Together and amazing muscle master) mentioned his FB business page.  This sparked discussion about the easiest ways to share the our page links with each other.
