I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friend Mr. Christopher Ripley for purchasing the thomasseidman.com domain name, setting me up with WordPress, and encouraging me to expand my presence on the World Wide Web. His book–Chris Ripley’s Online Marketing 101: No-Nonsense Guide To Marketing Your Business Online–has encouraged me in pursuing my own literary pursuits and is a fine primer for understanding the craft and nuances of marketing in the Internet age.
