If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!While doing some recent housekeeping in the back end of this site I uncovered some posts in my archives that many (read: most) of you missed, and I thought they were worthy of having the dust bunnies brushed off them. I realize that the majority of you are newer readers and/or haven’t known me as long, so here are a few of that damn redhead you’ve likely never read: What my small town dentist can teach...

I know, some of you who know me in person are thinking “we knew that!” but I’m not talking about the context you’re probably thinking. It is with great honor and humility that I announce www.thatdamnredhead.net has been officially anointed by THE Liz Strauss of Successful-Blog as a Successful and Outstanding Blog, which means I am among bloggers who, in Liz’s words, “. . . take the conversation to their readers, contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us...

I know that according to some of you, I may be committing blasphemy when I say this, but . . . I’m not a fan of Google Reader. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. I know it’s the most popular RSS reader, yada yada yada . . . but I prefer something else. It’s this awesome little freeware program called Shrook. Why do I like it so much?

I’ve got multiple websites in the works right now for various purposes, and I’ve been procrastinating re-launching my personal blog forever. I know that one of the most awkward things to do when launching a new blog is to (re-)introduce yourself to your readership.
