What type of Tool do I use when I blog?

I am often asked, what tools I use for different tasks, including blogging! Here at Sensible Gurus, we try to stay mainstream, and we do have a preference for Microsoft (not always, but mostly!) We like to, when we can, install software that a supplemental manual and hints and trick can be picked up at the local Borders or Barns and Nobel. For our blogging we use… *insert suspenseful music here* Microsoft Office 2007!

One of the Cool and Neat features of Word 2007 (nay, scratch that, Office 2007. I know you can blog from OneNote as well!) is the ability to use the great editing tools they have (and, my favorite, Spell check) to blog to your favorite Blog Location (not just Live). As much as people complain about Microsoft, the do try and play well with others. You can even insert Images and Graphics


 



 

If you have a copy of Office 2007, and you blog (if you run a business, you should be blogging!) check out the how easy and fun it is to blog from Office 2007!

Analyzing of beggars sales pitch

Coming home from the networking events the other day I was hit up forbidden money from a nice gentleman.

The pitch was pretty interesting than this is what he said,

"Sir? Sir? Please stop. You look like a great guy, not like some of these others around here."

Now this was nice he starts out by complimenting me and telling me I'm better than other people.

"I'm a bit down on my luck, and need to get to Madison," we were standing in downtown Waukesha about seven or 8 miles from the freeway Madison is a good hour drive away

"my family and I have rented a U-Haul and need 45 more dollars to get to Madison. We budgeted $330 but need $45.00 more"

This is interesting, it appears she is trying to show me that he is responsible thing has tried to budget some money for this trip but what confuses me is the largest U-Haul runs for $40.00 and 60¢ a mile. To drive between Waukesha and Madison it would be a whopping $80.00

"I've talked to all the local churches but they won't help a brother out, will you help me get to Madison so I can see my wife and kids"

OK this and was kinda goofy, I thought his wife and kids were no U-Haul truck. Any ways I decided to take a small karma bump so I peeked in my wallet. Drat! Of bunch of twenties and two singles. Well, I don't need that big of a karma bump so I gave him the $2.00

"What? Are you crazy? This is two bucks! This will get me very far!" and he stormed away. I guess some people you just can't please!
