Basically, if you've got a blog, and you'd like to allow other web sites, blogs, profiles (MySpace, FaceBook, etc.) to embed your blog, a blog widget is an easy way to do it. What's in it for a nonprofit organization? Viral marketing made easy, that's what. Imagine each of your supporters embedding your headlines on their blogs, on their MySpace profiles and on their Facebook pages.

Let's be honest: this has absolutely nothing to do with consulting. NONETHELESS.it's being posted. Here's the background: Back in 1996, just under a year after my grandmother died, my grandpa married grandma's best friend. He was 88, she was 85. Go Grandpa! He apparently likes the younger women. Enter the entire extended family with whom we now have to spend every holiday.

Lessons learned from a cab ride home from the airport last night: 1. Always do a "lean-in sniff test" of the cab before just jumping in, to see if said cab smells like pee. If it does, once you're in and the door is shut, you're screwed. You'll have pee-smell emanating from your body for the rest of the day, no matter how much travel-size Marriott lotion you might have in your bag to try to cover the odor.
