Fifty characters: my recommended target mark and the length of the headline for this blog post. Making headlines caught my attention last week when a contact in a Yahoo! Group asked if anyone could talk about how to write headlines. After I volunteered, I decided to write this post […]

Okay, yes, I have been away. I think I forgot to tell you that before I left. I’m back, yes back to snow, snow and more snow. It’s good to be home in Chicago. While I loved seeing Santa and the palm trees on Union Square, it’s State Street I […]
