Rafter http://michellerafter.wordpress.com/?p=99 I love the first days of the month. It means I’ve closed the books on whatever I billed in the previous 30 days and I’m starting all over again. This month it also means the start of my blogathon, A Post a Day in the Month of May, which is already generating a lot of buzz.

Usually the first of the month also means I have some new stories out in various magazines and Websites.

This month, I’ve got a feature story in Oregon Business magazine about local manufacturers who’ve chosen not to move their factories offshore. It’s called “Made in Oregon” and you can read it here.

I also wrote a piece for IncTechnology.com about cell phone service price wars. Did you know you can buy all-you-can-talk service for $99 from all the major cell carriers? Read more here.

IncTechnology.com is also running a slide show I wrote called “No More Paper,” that explains how small businesses can cut down on the amount of office paper they use. I’ve written a couple slide shows for IncTechnology.com. Think of them as short stories told in 50-word increments.

You’ll think twice before sending a dirty joke to a co-worker after reading this story I wrote about dumb things that can get you fired, for a Website called YourSecurityResource.com.

Rafter http://michellerafter.wordpress.com/?p=42 Companies use blogs and social networks to keep customers informed and employees happy. But Web 2.0 technologies can open the door to corporate spies and hackers, which is why if a company uses them, they also need strong security policies for protection. You can read more on the subject in my new story, Keeping Web 2.0 Platforms Private and Secure on Inc. magazine’s IncTechnology.com Web site.
