When we last left our intrepid Virtual Assistant, she was downloading and then uploading pictures. 600 pictures. Downloading. Uploading. Those of you with weak constitutions may want to leave the blog at this time. For those of you who dare to continue, be sure you have read Part 1.
So what will I do next? [...]

If you visited the old blog or read my facebook status then you know I have decided to integrate my blog into my actual website.
Here are a few reasons I decided to do this:
This site is already indexed by Google.

Pardon me for a brief interruption from our Adventures of Kristina Leroux: Virtual Assistant! Just think of this as an intermission…
When I started this blog, I admit I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do with it. But, by the end of the first post I realized it would be more about the [...]
