It worked and I answered just about all [...]]]> http://www.dawnb.co.uk/2011/12/blogging-your-questions-answered/feed/ 8 http://www.dawnb.co.uk/2011/09/how-to-connect-with-me-on-linkedin/ http://www.dawnb.co.uk/2011/09/how-to-connect-with-me-on-linkedin/#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:19:52 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnb.co.uk/?p=1910 I use LinkedIn to connect with people I know, but that’s not the only way to use it.

Nicky Kriel has a lot to answer for. I while ago I challenged her to write  a blog post – the result is all about New Ideas Being Rejected.

How do you follow up? Promptly?
