Errata for this article

Correction for page 43

On page 43, in the first paragraph of the second column, there is a section that reads,

"Having a website is no good unless people find out about it, of course. “Keeping a blog, or sending out some sort of update e-mail is very important,” says with four years of experience under her belt. “Swapping links with other small businesses is great too.”"
