Brag Basket – Are you in?

By Small Biz Survival

UPDATE: NEW BRAGS!

Are you in? I mean, are you in the Brag Basket? Why not?

It’s simple. You tell us something great, we all applaud, and you can even have a banana.

Thanks to our friend BJ who donated the graphic.

By the way, the Brag Basket is always open! We may start on Friday, but you can feel free to brag any time. So, jump in!

————————-

Here’s my brag for the week: Jeanne told me that a state tourism official praised the new website I’m doing for Red Carpet Country! WOO HOO! (Of course, the previous site was pretty bad, so it’s easy to be better by comparison!)

Our friend Owen Mead-Robbins stopped in with an update:

Bit of a big brag as I’ve been super busy at Oprius. So I’ll do it in point form:

* New website up which we have received numerous praises for already:
http://www.oprius.com/

* Web widgets released. The first being a lead capture widget. The idea is that you can have visitors of your web page add themselves to your address book or request more information by adding a few lines of HTML code to your page.
http://www.oprius.com/widgets.html

* Some big names in the local business community are getting really interested in Oprius. A few are even considering joining our board of directors / advisers.

Congratulations, Owen! Oprius continues to improve and impress!
