In case you missed it, and the date on this post is confusing you, this is a 2 week review. A lot of things have happened here at SIF in the last two weeks.
We had a Big Debate. Some called it heated, and it may have been, but I don't read comments much with so many blogs to read. It seemed a valid discussion and one we all be having in earnest sooner or later if we are to advance our industry. Anyway, to the best of my ability, this is the thread:

Three of our very own Stagers threw their names into the ring to become HGTV's next Design Star:
First it was Connie Tebyani with ...... Call me CRAZY - But VOTE for me!
Then Fernando Rosado with ...... ANOTHER DESIGN STAR HOPEFUL....PLEASE VOTE FOR MOI !
Rounding our hopefuls is Kate Hart with ..... Why the heck not! I just added my portfolio to hgtv's Design Star audition!
Anyone else up for the challenge? Let us know!
We got some excellent advice on promoting our businesses in a professional manner:
