			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are one of the select group of people who has been following the postings on my blog since it started it just a few weeks ago, you&#8217;ve probably noticed that I just changed its name!  Frankly, since the blog domain matches my business, it makes sense that the blogging topic matches my business too.  Call it a branding decision, because I am absolutely going to continue Out of the Fog in another spot here at WordPress.  The only reason I&#8217;ve been neglecting my baby blog the past couple of weeks is because I&#8217;ve thrown myself into the deep end of the social networking pool!  Suddenly, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are gobbling all my screen time, just while I get profiles set up.</p>
<h3>Maven &#8211; An Expert by Another Name!</h3>
<p>My expertise lies in finding just the right words to fit a given messaging situation.  One of my clients calls me the &#8220;Make a Word Department&#8221; &#8211; and that suits me just fine!  I love playing with words and phrases in order to make magic happen. Whether it&#8217;s a compelling sales letter, a &#8220;difficult&#8221; letter or even a new product name, that &#8220;BINGO&#8221; feeling when I hit on the right combination is what makes me an expert.</p>
<p>But right now, since it&#8217;s 2 days before Christmas and I&#8217;m working from home, I&#8217;ve got to go be an expert at baking savoury pastries.  Glad to he here, integrating WordSpring Writing and Marketing more fully into this blog.</p>
