He is also responsive via his Web site and e-mail http://www.bly.com He's old-school but knows what he's doing. Good luck Romondo, and let me know how it goes! Hi Romondo,

You can do it! Don't make the mistake I made of waiting until I had done a million projects for free before I started taking myself and what I had to offer businesses seriously. Now is your time. Good luck! Jennifer,

I have a friend who also refers to me as his "publicist", and doing work for him also led me to believe that I can "make noise" for others. Thank you so much for the advice.
