June 2010You probably know what's wrong, but you just don't know how to actually fix it. It probably has to do with the realities of the web and all the PR, Marketing, and Communications implications therein. That's where I come in. Let's trouble shoot this thing and fix it. If I can't, I have people who can. www.learyconsulting.com Fixing things, it's what we do.
