Thanks to all of you that tuned in to the live website critique teleclass on Tuesday and Wednesday. Holy smokes that was fun! We’ll have to do that again soon.
If you were in the call, please share your feedback.
On the call, I announced that my new website resources page has launched! I’ve got more to add, but for now it has all of the products I use and some favorite blog posts.
Tweetables
I’ve sent out the call records to those who registered, but in case you missed out, here are some tweetables from the event!
Thanks to my friend Mary Rarick for running the live twitter feed during the call.
