Whoo Hoo! Website is up!

Hi all,
I'm so excited about this I had to share! The Website is up and looking good. There are already some free resources you can download.

The name of the newsletter has been decided (Spotlight Ezine) and I've got the basic logo!

Plus, I'm going to do a ferature every month called "Spotlight On" - and I'll be featuring you and your organizations in it! That's right - you get all of this:

• A press release talking about you, your organization and your projects
• A page on my Website, linking to yours
• A "call to action"
• Entries in the "What's Happening" Event Calendar
• A 15 minute audio interview with a MP3 audio file for you to post on your Website, use as a recruiting tool or for just about anything else you can think of
• Publish an article in the newsletter which will also be posted in our RSS feed and stay online forever
• Be featured as the monthly expert on your issues in our blog and on our forum
• Plus lots more!

And guess what? It's all free!

Yep, it's not going to cost you anything. Lots of great publicity, 0 cost.

Well, I've got lots of work to do - but hey, if you're just surfing and want to check out the site and give me your feedback, I'd appreciate it! Click here to go there~

Links You Should Know About!

Every now and then, I'm going to post some links to Websites that you should know about and use. (Okay, this is one of the things I liked about having the wordpress blog - there was a place for links and categories that this blog just doesn't have.) Oh well.

So, here is a list of some links just to get things started. If you have others that VISTAs need to know about, feel free to post them here as well!

• NetAid
• Katrina News
• Angel Points
• USA Freedom Corps
• TechSoup
• America's Promise
• Volunteer Proj. 123
• BCCCC
• FEMA EMI
• Art Into Action
• HandsOn
• Points of Light Foundation

There are others, I know, so I'll keep trying to post them for you! I've got a bunch of great links in my book as well, so stay tuned!
