As I explain in Staying Organized Midst Computer Crash at My Organized Biz, I’m having challenges with my laptop, so am alternating time with my hubby at his desktop, which he also uses for an Internet based busiiness.  So far, I’m staying pretty much on schedule and having to reorganize only a few post deadlines.
I am having challenges with the photo issue.  I haven’t yet figured out how to get photos from his “My Pictures” to my blog posts.  This seems to work slightly different from my laptop.
However, I still expect to have posts on a regular basis for my Home Biz …read more

I’m interviewing a number of business owners who balance business and the demands of their life.  If you have organizational tips that work for you to be more productive and profitable, do share them with us.

I’m expanding my blogging here at b5media and shall be blogging at My Organized Biz and Small Business Boomers, as well as here at Home Biz Notes.  I also blog at Blisstree’s Parenting and Arts/Crafts sections.

We’ve been discussing, here at the Business Channel, after Jennifer Hofmann at MyOrganizedBiz initiated a tax rebate daydream meme, how we’d spend ours.  Most have been assuming $600, but is appears in some cases it may only be $300. 
Supposedly it’s all for free.  However, somewhere, somehow, and by someone, the money will have to be paid.  Does this mean higher taxes eventually? 
Anyway, I should be sensible with mine and apply it toward the higher fuel bill that accumulated over the long, cold, snowy winter in New Hampshire. 
If I splurged, I’d get one of the laptops I’ve been looking at to replace …read more
