			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-905" href="http://wordstothinkabout.com/wordstothinkabout-com/fotolia_674822_m/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-905" title="Fotolia_674822_M" src="http://wordstothinkabout.com/test/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Fotolia_674822_M-1024x557.jpg" alt="Fotolia_674822_M" width="573" height="312" /></a></p>
<p>I knew I was in trouble when one of my best friends said he had trouble getting to my web site because he couldn&#8217;t remember how to spell my last name. I don&#8217;t hold it against him. In fact, I understand how he feels. I married this name and the one I traded in for it (Sullivan) was a lot easier to spell and remember.</p>
<p>But my friend&#8217;s comment was an insightful one. If those who know and love me best can&#8217;t find me on the Internet, how will readers? Over the past two years I&#8217;ve done a lot of radio and TV interviews. I know that most people listen to the radio in their car and so when they give my web address, it&#8217;s unlikely that anyone is writing it down&#8211;let alone remembering it later. On TV the URL flashes by so quickly even if someone tried to write it down it would be easy to miss a consonant or two.</p>
<p>So after some serious market research (I polled on Twitter and asked my other friends what they thought) I&#8217;ve moved my official site to WordsToThinkAbout.com.</p>
<p>If there is one thing I want my writing to do, it&#8217;s to make people think, so whether you&#8217;re here to read my blog, buy a book, or hire me as an author or speaker, I hope you find something that provokes new thoughts.</p>
<p>While you&#8217;re here I&#8217;d love it if you look around. Click on the pages (Blog, Books, Media, Speaking, Writing, About) at the top of the screen. Check out the sub-menus below each of the pages, I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time updating them and I&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment on this post (or any other) by clicking on comment. Tell me about you,  your blog, your website, or your interests. I&#8217;d love to start a conversation with you, it&#8217;s likely your words that will make <em>me</em> think.</p>
<p>We can also converse via <a href="http://twitter.com/schuchmann" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/schuchmann" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>I am all about the conversation. I know for some people an online presence is about numbers, but I don&#8217;t really care about the numbers, I care about the relationships. I&#8217;ve met and carried on fascinating conversations online and some of those have resulted in real life relationships, so please take a moment to start a conversation with me.</p>
<p>If you read something you want to share with others click on the &#8220;Share This&#8221; link and you&#8217;ll be given options to all of your favorite social networking sites including Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumbleupon, Blogger, and of course, email.</p>
<p>Finally, I have to thank John Saddington at Milk Engine who created this incredible site. John isn&#8217;t cheap, but he&#8217;s good. He was also very patient and very kind. I feel so fortunate it that he was willing to share his techincal and creative abilities with me. If you think so too, give him a shout-out on twitter (@human3rror) or leave him a comment below.</p>
<p>Thanks for stopping by and I hope you&#8217;ll come back soon.</p>
