Ryan Paugh I've been really busy lately, so I'm really into finding quick-cook recipes that aren't total junk. Last night I found this blog post - http://bit.ly/2axrrB - and cooked the Lentil recipe. It was a hit.

Ryan Paugh: Cassie, they have canned everything these days ... I'm all about doing it from scratch, but after a long day sometimes you just need to cut corners.

I'm trying to hone my Twitter skills. How do you attract followers, while avoiding the spam followers? Is it really all about content or is there more to it?

I think the biggest thing is to stop worrying about getting followers. Use Twitter to listen to what people are saying about topics you care about. Listen and then engage in the conversation. People will then check your stuff out. If put out good content, they'll follow. Don't worry about the number though..Just listen and engage.

Scott Asai Just finished reading Pop! Create the perfect pitch, title and tagline for anything. It's a great "workbook" to help you clearly communicate what you do!

I mean, come on, they're still emphazing HTML over XTML and Java. Plus, it's pretty hard to get a job as a grad as a social media person... Lots of places think you're just going to slack off all day and/or want someone with 10+ years of experience. Forget the fact that 10+ years often means more of the same... Sorry, I'm a little bitter.

Cassie Holman I buy $1 frames from 2nd hand stores & paint, decoupage, bedazzle, whatever to them. Unique, cheap & they can match any room in your place

Ryan Paugh: Hey! I've done that too! Minus the bedazzle part, but you're right, it's cheap and it looks really cool.

Cassie Holman This surprised me: not paying fines-even library fines or parking tickets-lowers credit score! I have $20 fine for lost library book..yikes
