I'm going to make a fairly definitive statement here, and say that anyone who doesn't have an Internet crush on sallyjacobs, has no heart whatsoever. Do you hear me, Internet? No heart!" --mrvader2u.

My Practical Archivist blog offers how-to advice about organizing and preserving your family treasures. As an introverted entrepreneur, I keep an eye out for (non-slimy) internet marketing advice. |
