Update

Well I moved to Boise for the summer and I am installing security systems. I am also selling pest control door to door. So far I have 3 security systems installed and 1 pest account that I have sold. I am hoping to start installing a lot more alarms and selling a lot more pest control. Being an alarm technician means that I am on call Monday-Saturday all day everyday. I am hoping to make enough money to help make a small dent in my school fees at UNLV this fall. I will be teaching at UNLV this fall (I don't know which classes yet). UNLV is going to pay me 13,000 for the year to teach. I believe that they might be giving me a tuition waver as well. Sincerely, Rees

Best practices for blogs USU assignment

Some good practices for blogs are: Have an image or two that helps illustrate the topic at hand it's okay if they aren't directly relevant. Fill your content out to 200-500 words per entry, if you have more than that, create a series of blog posts. (http://www.volume9inc.com/2010/12/14/blogging-best-practices-checklist/). Another blog of 10 business best practices (http://socialmediab2b.com/2009/06/business-blogging-best-practices/) it says to create compelling content, and post regularly. Also in another bog (http://www.isafe.org/imgs/pdf/education/Blogging.pdf)called "safe blogging" you need to password protect your blog, don't make your blog open to others. Also don't include personal and detailed information. Your blog should be set to private if your audience is limited to friends and family.
