Beautiful! Time to Grow!

It seems to me as though evrything to do with technical stuff -- opening accounts, filling out profiles, creating carefully crafted postings, cleaning up the computer -- and all other things like these take longer than they really should. Maybe its me but there's got to be an easier way.
Operating from one central resource doesn't seem to be possible. Some places have differences such as functionality and/or audiences, and these differences make a "one size fits all" approach tough.

Here at the Farm, its important to be able to market. In order to market, its important to be able to communicate. And, in order to communicate in today's world, its important to be kind of "web savvy" and the learning curve is steep.
After all, in terms of my life, computers and the web are young! And me? Well then, I must be "old". But that, as they say, is no excuse.

One of the toughest marketing dilemmas of farmers is reaching the generations that are keeping up with the latest web stuff. Suffice it to say that means the farmers have to keep up: and that appears to be my job.
So, I do it in the winter and early spring and always seem to be leaving some loose end dangling.

You'll see a long gap in the post dates for this blog. I started it and just wasn't ready to go on. When I got started, for some reason, I couldn't get Blogger to accept posts from my Hotmail account so I gave up. Now they work, so sometimes I'll post directly onto the blog, and sometimes I'll send them into the blog. That will depend on how much time I really have.

I'll apologize, in advance, for the ads at the bottoms of my Email posts. Microsoft really wants you to know just how great their services are at Windows Live. I'm not sure they're great, but I've had a Hotmail address since 1999 so I hate to abandon it --- but sometimes it seems like a habit I'd love to quit.

The marketing thing allows me to have a bit of personal life, and some of that, as it relates to Emma's Family Farm will be related here.

Hope you find it interesting!
