Just a list of some of my favorite things!

Nerdist www.nerdist.com

Sometimes, the best way to learn great writing is to read great writers–and let's face it, these days, everyone's nerdy about something. Chris Hardwick (@nerdist) and the gang provide insightful, funny and relevant information on just about anything awesome.

 

The Readability Test Tool www.read-able.com

Check the readability of your site or copy in seconds and optimize your writing for your target audience.

 

MailChimp.com www.mailchimp.com

My all-time favorite email newsletter service! This isn't just a great tool, but the folks at MailChimp don't take themselves so seriously that they forget making newsletters is fun.
