Can't wait to get involved with this group!

Comment by Debby Bruck on February 11, 2009 at 4:11pm: Hey Mad Scientists ~ Pat encouraged me to join this group. Would anyone mind commenting on the new website my son created for me? www.TriangleHomeopathicCenter.com.

Plus a couple of questions....
1) I have a favicon at www.homeopage.com and the other URL is linked to the main URL here. How do I get the favicon to show up at both sites?

2) How much does a writer charge for a typical blog post or article. It takes me about 4 - 6 hours to research and write a good article with images, etc.

thanks for all your help
Debby

Comment by Deborah S. Smith on September 26, 2008 at 6:29pm: Michelle, Thank you so much for the invite. I am in need of how to get my press release for EIS(please check my site), in circulation. I have a service, which I am sure will help a lot of people in an emergency situation. Please take a look at the release, I have loaded it to my page, and would like feedback from anyone in the club. It is very valuable information.

Comment by Michelle Gower on August 27, 2008 at 10:03am: I have changed the name of this group to 919 MadScience Business Lab. The reason for this change is because I want to ensure that we embrace those who are having difficulties or challenges at the very first phase of start-up or expansion--business planning, accounting, hiring, etc.

Comment by Kim Walker on June 26, 2008 at 5:05pm: Very cool idea - I look forward to it!

Comment by Pat Howlett on June 26, 2008 at 12:11pm: Michelle, Love the idea and look forward to contributing. One of my main Passions is 'Referral Marketing' so add this to the list as well.
