This site isn’t all about me, it is for anyone interested in watching a business grow. I also want to be able to share some of the things I do to stay organized.

One of the main ways I have been learning about business, photography, and photoshop has been through blogs and websites. I have tons and tons of websites bookmarked that I like to reference whenever I need, but the number of sites has grown tremendously and it can be hard to keep track of the sites I save and what information I liked from each of them. Yahoo! has seemed to have a nice solution to this problem through Yahoo! Bookmarks. The new Yahoo! bookmarks allows you to create folders and subfolders for all organizing needs, but the best thing about Yahoo! Bookmarks is the ability to “tag” your sites with information. So if you find a wedding photographer you can simply type in “wedding” as a tag or if it is a book album company like Leather Craftsman you can tag it with “photo book”. You can also leave a description of the site if you want to remember specific things on the site. So when you sign into your bookmarks all you have to do is type in any keywords into the search box and those sites will pop up for easy access. That is one nice way to keep up with your growing number of websites.

For managing your blogs there are countless numbers of sites that offer aggregated newsfeeds. My favorite is Netvibes. It is easy to use and easy to customize. It allows me to resize any columns I desire and it lays out all my favorite blogs easily for me to read all at once so I can see what sites have been updated. Another nice feature is being able to simply scroll over a newsfeed and it will let you read a brief snippet of what the blog says. Saves some good time there! Another site I just love! It also also you to add tabs for different categories if you so desire. It has so many features to add to make it personalized and I haven’t even attempted to try everything yet. Go check it out if you are not happy with your newsreader!
