This is an extra post today. In support of a good friend in PR. We all know PR is a must-have for small businesses. Not all of us can afford good PR. We often do it ourselves, and many of us do it pretty well. But, when you want a professional - there are only a few to choose from.

I always recommend D-D Flannery at Good News Gal, but today I have to ask a big favor for PR professional, Renee Blodgett. She's another one-woman show, and she knows her stuff. Renee is in a blog  contest, you can read about her at Jason Dowdell's Marketing Shift blog: Help a Little Gal Upset a Media Giant. He tells it like it is - Renee is up against some BIG GUNS! But, she deserves to win...

Let's help her out. Voting is open till 11:59 tonight. EST, I think. Don't wait. Hop over to the voting site and vote for Down the Avenue. It's listed in the box on the upper right.
