Minnesota Library Association Conference Coming Up

The Minnesota Library Association's annual conference will be held on October 24-26, 2007, in Mankato. The bad news is that the Early Bird discounted registration period is already over. The good news is there's a not-quite-so-early-bird discount available until September 9th. Check out the conference program at:

Yours truly will be presenting, with Nicole Herold of Ramsey County Library, on Wednesday, October 24, in Session B5 - "Top 3 Cataloging Things to Spend Your Time On." Tom Eland and I will be at an information table for our program as well.

Come spend some time schmoozing with your library colleagues, and network, network, network!

E-commerce For Everyone

I've just launched my new e-commerce websites service for amazon associates, it's called E-commerce For Everyone www.ecommerceforeveryone.com . I've spent the last year or so doing development work and I'm finally getting closer to being completed anyways.

The sites are looking good and the features are good for version one. I've been posting in a few forums and doing a little ppc to drive traffic to the site. I wrote an ecommerce article that went up on ezine articles the other day.

I hope that amazon associates can use the service and make good money from it. I was advising a client that they need to market the site, which is about the only thing they need to focus on outside of making sure they're site looks good.
