Don’t like to brag? Just share some good news for yourself or a friend.

Just don’t make it an ad. I delete the ads that people stick in here. If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.

It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

    I was just told my response to a HARO request made the requester “a bit giddy”! Turns out she reads my FundraisingCoach.com blog and is a fan.

    I just had three lovely ladies on Twitter assist me with some product re-branding questions and I just want to give them a shout-out on here: @RachelisCunning, @GentleMarisa, and @jeninthe405. Love the connections!

    Hey Becky, haven’t been here forever but saw your tweet. This week I launched a whole new look on my site over on Bobwp.com and have decided to focus more on local, in-person WordPress training over on my side of Washington state… it’s been a result of a lot of soul-searching. But I’m very excited about it!

      Howdy, Bob! Great to see you again! Congratulations! I hope your local-focus will be a strong success for you. I know your local community will be the big winner; they’re lucky to have your skills!

    I’m bragging on my local internet service provider, Pioneer Telephone Cooperative out of Kingfisher, Oklahoma. They just tripled internet speeds in Hopeton, Oklahoma (population about 30 people). My service is going from 10mbps to almost 30mpbs. I’m excited for me, but also thrilled to have a local co-operative that provides great service!

Howdy!
