meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Was there a way to click on the poll to vote? Since I can't figure it out, I'll cut and paste: Finding your Voice (Niche) + Don't Quit Your Day Job (Self-discipline) How to build clips or credentials (Branding yourself, groups, editors, scams) When doors are closed (other overlooked resources for clips) ----------------------------------------------- These are my personal favorites, not necessarily what I think other people would like. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

The poll had ended (I just held it for one day) so that is why you couldn't vote, but this works! Muchos Gracias! Or as we say down South, Much Grass!
