Ryan Paugh Wow! All of you Brazen members in Chicago have been pretty quiet. Let's liven things up a little! I just started creating some official Twitter Lists for Brazen members in different cities around the country. I'm hoping that it helps you guys meet new people in the community and stay connected. Leave your Twitter ID as a reply below and we'll add you to the Brazen Chicago Twitter List that we're creating over here >> http://twitter.com/BrazenCareerist/brazen-in-chicago

After you update your information, make sure that the website URL and the external accounts URL sections are empty. Then click save.

Sometimes safari on mac tries to automatically fill those out. Please let me know if this helps.

Scott Carver Each step I take in starting my IT support/consulting business, which has started, seems to be a challenge. Fun challenges though. I've installed a CRM package & now trying to determine how detailed to define my services. I've looked at service catalog templates and think that's too much. How detailed do I want to be in my billing/tracking? Anyone struggled with that? Ex. BOS-1 is Business Onsite Service, but I don't think that's detailed enough for the service done. Hope that makes sense.

Dale Beermann Is anyone using Basecamp for project management? I'm evaluating it right now and find it really frustrating. I shift milestones and all of the todos are still under the old dates. It's nearly impossible to effectively change a project plan from what I can tell. Does anyone have other suggestions? Pivotal Tracker looks interesting, and it's free. I need something that can do project management and time tracking for consulting gigs.

I found out that they have a time tracking feature, you just have to ask to have it enabled. It's also free, and based on agile development, which for me is perfect.
