Modern Community

Better Living Through Modern … Community What is a community?   Where can anybody find one in this new age of digital semi-reality?   Do they still exist?   Are places where people care for and look after one another actually extant in modern society?   Communities today are yet created through the hands, hearts, and hard work of committed people, edifying both the single member and the group as a whole.   Communities are more fluid now, perhaps, than they once were, but they are still a tangible source of support and encouragement.   What is a [modern] community?   How do you build one?

Dear Codeless Team

Dear Codeless Team, I’m a writer specializing in educational content:   I’ve spent 10 years making public education look good.   As a kindergarten teacher, I sell content every day:   reading instruction for the illiterate and writing for well-meaning, high-socioeconomic individuals so invested in their progeny that my primary level instruction is help or hindrance to Ivy League admissions. I’m mostly joking regarding that last assertion. I am, however, serious about pursuing a new writing career, and I find your company intriguing.   You mentioned in your job post that you would be willing to teach the technical marketing stuff.   I appreciate that flexibility and can offer that I’m a digital native and am quite comfortable writing.   Years of lesson planning and writing newsletters, blog posts, and informational and instructional missives will do that to you.   I began my marketing obsession last week when I met Kissmetrics, Unbounce, and AdEspresso.
