********************************************

Let me introduce the most awesome group of team mates anyone could ever have! Not only are they my very good friends, but I also have the pleasure of working with them to bring this forum to all of you, each and every week;

and myself;

Here are the qualifications that will be used in the selection of each honoree. People that are selected will be recognized based on:

1. Acts of kindness that they show to their fellow man.

2. Must be willing to help others, and treat people in a kindly manner.

3. Have a good-hearted nature, and shows it through all that they do.

4. Must be a positive role model, and set a good example

5. Must be professional, avoids negativity, and promotes success through faith and hard work

So, if you know of anyone here at AdlandPro that are not necessarily "high profile" people per say, and that don't get the recognition that they deserve, let us know. We will be helping to get people recognized that should be *A SHINING STAR*. All nominations must be in by Saturday and please tell us why you believe the person deserves to be recognized.

The meaning of the name JOANNE;

Here is JOANNE'S bio;

First of all, thank you so much to Marilyn for doing me the honor of being in such esteemed company!  It's a wonderful feeling to know that others appreciate what I do.

I live on the beautiful island of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, steeped in history - we have the Fortress of Louisbourg, along with beautiful beaches and mountains, as well as the home of Alexander Graham Bell, in his later years.

Here is a photo of the sunrise where I live, in L'Ardoise, a small French Acadien community on the eastern coast:

I love meeting new people online, and have met many friendly and helpful people at AdlandPro over the years. I had been a member from the beginning, but left when my father became ill in 2005. I joined again last year, and I am very happy to be back.  If anyone has any questions about HTML or getting something to work on their site, even installing scripts, let me know and I'd be glad to help . . . hmm I feel a forum coming on.

I began working online in 2002, with a small website, no HTML knowledge, and a knack for picking the worse programs to try to earn money from LOL.

Since then, I've learned plenty! I now know a lot about web design, and create all of my own websites.  I have five domains, and many programs that I run on my own.  I started with my webmaster and marketing resources website, which is still my main website, at http://www.wannaberichtoo.com.  Since then I've added many scripts and programs, and run my own article directory, web directory, classifieds, topsites, web store, url redirection, and membership site. You can find links to all of my sites at the main website, above. I have a passion for software, scripts and ebooks, and you can find plenty of freebies on my site (especially the membership site at http://www.wannaberichtoo.com/membership).  If you're interested in purchasing some of the better software, scripts and ebooks, you will want to check out my webstore at http://www.wannaberichtoo.com/webstore.

Last September, I finally decided to pursue my passion for crafting, and opened Joanne's Crafts, at http://www.joannes-crafts.com. The site caters to knitters, crocheters, and lace makers (tatters).  There are free instructions and patterns, and I've also started a niche article directory dedicated to all sorts of crafts. If there are any craft article writers out there, I'd love you to submit them to the site. Also, if you are a knitting, crochet or tatting pattern designer, I'd love to showcase your talent.

I hope you will come and visit my websites, and hopefully find some great information and ideas that will be helpful to you. And don't forget, I'm here to help if you need me.

I hope that being in the Parade of Stars will allow me to meet a lot more of the wonderful people at AdlandPro, and I look forward to becoming one of your newest friends.

Joanne Martell
