Improving my working conditions and staving off madness with a little help from the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War

Deborah Elizabeth Finn
on Wed 26 Mar 2008 03:14 PM EDT
 As most readers of my blog know, I don't like working from home. Although I love my clients and the projects I do with them, there's a downside to being a solo practitioner. I yearn for an office to go to, a nonprofit environment, a sense of continuity with a team. Fortunately, the good folks of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War have some spare office space and a need for an online strategy adviser, so they have very good-naturedly offered me a barter... more » Friday, March 14

I'm not sure whether the 2008 Nonprofit Technology Conference widget is going to work with my Blogware platform, but I'm giving it a shot. (If you see a big block of white space above this paragraph, then it hasn't worked.) I wish that there were a version of this widget that would fit into the righthand column of this page.

Some colleagues of mine, fellow nonprofit technology assistance providers, recently asked me to draft a guide to search engine optimization strategy for their clients. They very kindly granted me permission to publish a version of it to my blog. I am eager to elicit feedback from SEO mavens, and would like to encourage readers to post comments here... more » Tuesday, February 12

Technology assistance for people who are smart about other things
by
Deborah Elizabeth Finn
on Thu 20 Sep 2007 03:56 PM EDT
 We often deal with executive directors who cope with technology by groveling and apologizing for their ignorance, or by developing elaborate rationales for why they shouldn't need to know this stuff. My sympathies are entirely with them. Nobody is born knowing this stuff, and executive directors are often busy figuring out entirely other stuff. I laughingly suggested that we need a series of technical reference books that are titled, "...For People Who Are Smart About Other Things"... more » Monday, September 17
