Quick, first the credits! I thought I writing this page after reading the article, Does Your Blog have a Twitter Landing Page? That came into being after the author noticed @Pistachio and her Twelcome page…..and as I thought that was pretty darned clever, I decided to do that for meself!
So here goes!
Welcome! It's so great to see you here.
My name is Barbara and….. WAIT! Stop right there!
I need to ask you the following question!
Are you ready?
Ready, I might add, to be entranced, amazed, and propelled to recover your socks as they get knocked off?
Wonderful!!
My name is Barbara Ling (astonishing, I know, given the domain name of the site you are visiting) and you're on my Twitter Twelcome page! In real life, I've been a successful online entrepreneur now for over a decade; my trademark has always been
Turning Technical Into Simple and Fun!
Honestly, in a nutshell, that's just what I do.
I've built literally hundreds of sites over the years, been quoted in the Wall Street Journal and appeared on the Sallie Jessie Raphael show, wrote 30+ ebooks…oh heck, you can learn more about my professional credentials here.
I love teaching what I know with humor and zaniness – some posts that will give you a flavor about that are:

- The Chuck Norris Guide To Proficient Protecting Of Your Site From Rabid Varmits
- RANT – What the eBay Affiliate Program is Missing Part 1 – Celebrity Endorsements!

- Interview at SEOMOZ – Barbara Ling: Secrets of a Veteran Webmaster
But as I use Twitter for more than simply business, here's the other profile of me – I'm a mom in her 40s who raises a passel of kids, earned my black belt in karate in 2010, takes care of bunches of TwitterBudgies, and loves saying "Hi!" to good-natured friendly folk on Twitter.
And since you've come here from Twitter, chances are, you'll love my humor site below that I created for April Fools:

Hi! Barbara, What a great idea to have a Twelcome page on your blog, I’ll think about it – it makes perfect sense.
What I did, I create a lensography, which I call it socialography (because is so much related with Web 2.0), with all my activity, I am still working on it, but it is a good start:

I created a couple of new lenses, all of them are in socialography, post 2-3 times in my main blog, and like usual I am doing to many things in the same time.
There is a hope with Push Button Marketer to start to create macros for repeating work and this way to free some time, but at this point I am swimming on heavy streams, and global warming is still far away .
What are you doing? (Twit ID: cernescu)
