I've had an online business for nearly 20 years now. I'm in the process of updating my skills (which I'm told are "circa 1987"). Is there a special forum or group on CD where issues relating to online business, are discussed?
So far, I subscribed to
Forbes and
Entrepreneur magazines (free for 30 days on the Kindle and then a few bucks a month after that), and am about to undertake a course of studies which includes the following:

My guess is, a lot of business people will say that I can learn this stuff on my own and don't have to sit in class, but I have an ulterior motive. I'm wanting to be around humans: I've spent way, way too much time, sitting alone in front of the stupid 'puter!!!
Until these classes start, I'm studying this book:
Search Engine Optimization (SEO): An Hour a Day Grappone, Jennifer
I printed out the forms from the webpage and am waiting for the book to arrive. It came highly recommended from a friend of mine who has a successful web presence. I didn't even know what SEO was!!!
TIA
