A not-quite-20 question Business Continuity quiz.
Less here, more there
Lately there have been fewer entries on this site.
The operative words are "on this site."
The reasons are simple:
- This site is for longer (800 words or more) documents that may require graphics.
- Smaller documents now are showing up on my blog at http://JohnGlennMBCI.blogspot.com
The blog is hosted at a site other than this one (which is hosted by 1and1. com, a really good, high up-time host) because, as an Enterprise Risk Management/Business Continuity (COOP) practitioner, I know that even the best hosts sometimes "hiccup"; having a separate site is just good planning.
