We never do this, but we just had to help our friend Jen and her business partners out because they’ve been invaluable to us getting this blog up and running. They’ve just released the beta version of their ebook store, Box of Books.
The first book available for purchase is a Beginner’s Guide to Associated Content, that Kate was able to help develop. She’s posted a few articles on Associated Content, but this book can help anyone do it. The book is available for $14.95, which we think is too cheap.

Note: We’re doing this to support a friend with a product we think is good. We get no financial gain from purchases.

Well, the best part is you don’t have to be a nutiritionist or join a health club. The first “step” is to take a week-long inventory of your eating and activity habits. This helps to develop guidelines for the amount of food and number of steps you usually take in a day. [Continue reading...]
