Ok. so there seems to be tons to do with this new company ! I love having much much much to do, but I wish I knew more about the technical side of it all. Typepad seems to be a good answer but I might be better off putting the blog on the website. Indecision is crippling, so the decision is......website. That's that. Its off the desk so moving on then.
Two sites look great to advertise with. Make Mine Pink and Shabby Lane Shops. Both have many advantages. MMP has month to month but SLS has a great recommendation from a blog friend that is on both. She gets more business from SLS. If only it had month to month.....this decision takes a bit more thought today. Given my self-imposed deadline of the morning, I will sleep on it. Maybe a pros and cons list should go under the pillow.
Adsense and LinkExchange are the next two facets of advertising combining profit and recognition that I will pursue. Need to get the blog up on the website first perhaps. I have the vision--now I need the reality.
Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken is an appropriate google at this point since inspiration is needed.

Getting Started !
The new Green is Pink and the mother of invention......
I am just starting a business after years of working in the field that I received my degree in etc etc etc. Its not something I ever thought I would do and certainly not for the fainthearted. Just try having a conversation with someone and they ask what you do. The "starting a business" answer gets you the polite smile, the "oh , uh huh...." and they move on to the next person. By the way, you will see me use the word " CRAP" alot. Its an extremely versitile word and one that I have come to love. I will apologize upfront if it offends anyone.
The idea came from the lack of products available that were ACTUALLY chemical-free but that also felt and smelled wonderful. ( read the labels carefully--even "Organix" and similar products have alot of crap in them. ) When did organic start to mean sacrificing joy anyway ??! It should be just the opposite. Once I got started beautiful aromas, soft skin and soaking in salts that detox at the same time became a possibility. I found that staying away from harmful chemicals can be just as luxurious as using the "OTHER" products. So, necessity became the mother of invention as they say, and this is where I found myself. Mixing, blending , creating!!
I have met so many others out there going green ! I am surprised. I have also found the new green is Pink! The name RealRaspberries comes from the study that found applying crushed raspberries to sunburns stops the growth of melanoma. I thought that was perfect for my company. I even found an "everything" site out there called Make Mine Pink that I hope to advertise with soon. Even more perfect!
I am open to all suggestions, helpful hints and please be patient with the website as we are still working and building......we are almost there. Its running--- go ahead and order ! It just needs some tweaking and I still have to add the soaps !!!!! http://www.realraspberries.com/
just an intro...more soon.
