Tara Cummins' Marketing Blog

When I post on Sundays, I'll share a bit of my soul.  Sunday is a day of rest for me.  The ringer on my phone stays off for a while after church.  I try to get in a good nap, and i enjoy spending time with friends and family.  But on this day of rest I'm really grateful for the value of hard work...

A number of people have asked me how I get YouTube videos into my blog posts.  I put together this quick video tutorial to show you the tricks I use to get all my formatting just right. For me, the easiest thing to do is write my entire post, then format all my text and insert any other images I ...

If you have ever built a website in ePropertySites.com while having to copy the data from an MLS listing, you will love me now!  This ninja trick will teach you how to take those descriptions in ALL CAPS and change them without having to retype them. Using a little known tool in Microsoft Word, y...

What a great story here!  I really did laugh out loud at the first line - and had my heart strings tugged further in.  And with his story, Chris shares some great advice on insurance that can any of us and our customers.  Thanks, Chris, for sharing.

I'm so grateful to be a part of this great country.  It took us a while to get where we are, but this truly is a land of opportunity where anyone with a dream can make it come true with enough vision and hard work. I hope we all take time today to think about Dr. King and what he did for our coun...

When I post on Sundays, I'll share a bit of my soul.  Anyone who knows me at all knows I'm passionate about chocolate.  Some would even say it runs in my veins, and I might be the first to agree.  I'm pretty sure it started with Grandpa Joe, my mother's father.  He passed away before I was born, ...

Recently I read that Amber Alerts have come to Facebook.  What a great way to spread the word when there's a missing child in any of our communities.  There are 53 pages - one for each state plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.  This is great because you can simp...

If you haven't heard yet, Motorola recently unveiled its new Android tablet. Though I'm not normally an early adopter of new devices, I can't stop thinking about the Xoom.  And like any good child of the 70's I have the theme song running through my head:  "I wanna Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!"  Come ...
