StuntDubl's Friday Favorites

I missed last week (My laptop started with the “laptop death rattle” - so it was a scramble to do data backups, find and migrate to a new machine). One of the worst parts of being a solo shop is being your own IT guy. Excuses aside - here’s twice the friday favorite goodness for this week.

• Jim talks about 11 Ways to increase your conversion rate - great stuff from T-bo
