It's like shopping on the Internet -- only different!

Who knew my first assignment would be to, well, buy something! Now that I can do! I've completely furnished my apartment and filled my shoe rack with Internet purchases. But this time I was buying a book about, ta-da!! INTERNET MARKETING. The book is called "Don't Make Me Think," and I think it's about writing for the web. Y'see one of my pals, a guy who got fired from my agency and who had to go freelance, suddenly found himself tasked with writing a website, and he didn't know where to start. After several trips to Barnes & Noble, he discovered this book, and told me about it weeks ago. Of course, I never bought it. But now I HAD to, lest I flunk my Internet Marketing Strategies class. I'll tell you how I did it in my next post!
