Like many people who search the Internet, send E-mail or work online, I’ve occasionally been the target of SPAM and viruses. Over the years, I’ve found an easy way to help cut down on the SPAM attacks and viral volleys. Let’s cut to the chase – if an e-mail address is visible, it can be [...]

I spent some time this week contacting people about their virtual assistant needs. Hopefully, the more folks I contact, the better my chances that Chrysalis Publications, LLC’s new division will attract some clients. Tomorrow’s another day.
