So far this week:
- First draft of the corporate web site will be shared with a few associates for review and feedback, and will hopefully be launched for preliminary release by the beginning of next week.
- If you want to hear a little about preparing for the PMP exam, check out my wire with Hicham Jellab.
- A side discussion on tools available for marketing a blog site to get the most out of it are forthcoming. We’ll make sure to add new Categories & Tags along the way.
- The rest of this week will be focused on finalizing the press release, marketing letter, business cards, and envelopes for a marketing campaign.
Thanks for the continued feedback & discussions. This is truly an amazing virtual office! More to come at the end of the week.
Best regards,
Gabor

If you have any suggestions about categories in general, or have specific categories to create or build on, it would be great to hear from you.
Thanks,
Gabor

Could someone please boil down what Tags are and how to use them in a blog? When I clicked the link “Choose from the most popular tags” about 2 inches to the right from where I’m typing, I get a “No tags found!” message.
According to http://technorati.com/tag, “tags are labels that people use to make it easier to find blog posts, photos and videos that are related.” So, I am adding “Blog”, “Business”, “Start-up”, “Start up” & “consulting” tags to some of my posts.

Wow! Thanks for all the great feedback!!
I am proud to announce that I PASSED the exam today and will receive my certificate within 6 weeks! I also learned of some areas to focus my professional development on =)
The Exam itself was not bad, but there are some really tricky questions, especially if you don’t know how all the Knowledge Areas, Process Groups, Inputs, Tools, and Outputs tie together.
Deb, Thanks very much for the great tax comment, it is nice to provide benchmark best practices related to start-up and beyond!
All, I truly appreciate everyone’s input towards what could potentially become a Blueprint Case Study for others to benefit from. We already have tax, cash, & e-commerce management tips/advice. We can create categories to group the information, for others to learn from and interact with.
I look forward to working/blogging with you all! Clearly the potential power of this blog is INCREDIBLE!
Sincerely,
Gabor

Hello, My name is Gabor Fulop and I am starting my own Consulting practice after getting laid off about 6 months ago. Since then I spent 3 months at a previous employer as the Business Readiness Project Manager for the integration of an acquisition. I spent another month studying for the PMP which I will be sitting for tomorrow, 4/10. In addition, I’ve built a rough draft of my web site, press release, and a marketing letter for attaching to the press release when I send it to 300+ CEOs in San Diego. I thought it would be fun to start a blog about my experience and see where it takes me. I am open to questions, comments, suggestions, and client & partner inquiries. I also thought that it might force me to accelerate my effort and build even greater momentum. If you know of a similar blog, please let me know.
Best regards,
Gabor
