The post, the video, your voice! Thank you for this. Especially the last 30 seconds of the Women 2 interview. You're absolutely spot on. Passed it along on Twitter (@gwenbell). My hope is that many women and men make their way over today to read what I believe will be a resource, in months and years to come, to other entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs-to-be.

Also, this redesign? Is so perfect for you. Love the colors, the logo, type treatment and simplicity. Brava, Mags.

Stop. I love you chica. Damn, I'm getting all weepy. It has been too long. And I miss you completely. (And pretty much everyone on your list.) #checkshoustontixprices

Thank you for the wrap, Waylon. Definitely left with more questions than answers - and consider it a good thing. Deeply good.

I support Josh's points here. Especially: "I believe the future is ad(less) the future is
about communication and strategic partnerships." Where's the irony?

I'm with Joshua. Print up the wrist bands!

Adding design points to 4.

Colors. Show self-control when emailing. Restrict yourself to one font color. Black will do the trick. Bold if you need emphasis. Don't go red, green, blue, yellow or all of the above.

If no Comic Sans, no Papyrus. Just because Avatar got away with it: http://prttyshttydesign.blogspot.com/2010/01/open... doesn't mean you can, too.

If I need a dictionary to determine the meaning of your emoticon, it has defeated its purpose.

Finally, and this is a big one, piggy backing on your third point, Ed. When the sender of an email says, "hope you can make some sense out of this" I stop reading. Email should clarify, not mystify. Don't hit send if you haven't yet sorted out for yourself what you want to say. Go meditate, take a yoga class, say a prayer. Get straight with yourself.

Then re-write the email. From a place of calm and clarity.
