Re: Trying for lemonade

To all:

I just want to also applaud Wendy for this post.

Something that really stuck out to me was her offering of her strengths and
talents.  I think it would be really great if we all posted a bit about
ourselves, not only to show respect for who does what in this talented
group, but also to help us communicate with each other more efficiently.

I'll start myself:  I do NOT come out of graphic arts technically -- that's
why I'm here most of the time!  What I have strength in is marketing and
concepts.  I have been a marketing guerilla director-type, wearing lots of
hats, supervising the art concepts and the customer databases and anything
else to get product moving and promoted.  I'm now sort of a cross between a
web developer and a rabid entrepreneur. 

Currently I am engaged in a web design and web promotion business.  Quite
frequently I ask questions about Illustrator and the tools because I
personally have not used the tools myself as in the past that was delegated
-- now that I'm acutally doing this, boy do I have a lot of respect for you
highly-trained graphic types!

I am strong HTMLer and also a writer (couldn't tell it by my postings!) and
 published nationally.  

I am happy to help anyone I can with anything, and thanks to all for taking
the time to help me out.
