Make 2015 a Mannerly Year

I'm still writing etiquette articles for About.com, and I absolutely love it. It gives me the opportunity to share what I learned throughout the years, and I often hear from people asking all sorts of questions about proper manners. Most folks who write in are sincere and care enough to want to do the right thing. That gives me hope for society.

Here are some of the most popular articles that I often recommend:

Hostess Gift Etiquette

How to Deal with Rude People

What to Write in a Sympathy Card

RSVP Etiquette

Tipping Etiquette

Avoid These 10 Job Interview Etiquette Mistakes

Have Fun Teaching Etiquette with These Games

I hope you have a wonderful 2015. Celebrate every single day by being kind and showing respect to others while you work, party, hang out at home, and go about your everyday business.

If you'd like to make a commitment to learning and using proper etiquette in 2015, please sign up for my About.com Etiquette newsletter that goes out once a week as well as on occasions when I have something extra to say. Here's a link: Etiquette Newsletter.

Etiquette Guide at About.com

I’m very excited to announce that I have recently become the Etiquette Guide at About.com. Over the past four years, I’ve written more than a thousand articles for e-zines and informational websites, so when I saw that this position was available, I jumped on it.

Since I’ve only recently begun with About.com, I don’t have many articles on the site. The ones currently up include the ones I wrote for my audition and a few more that I wrote for good measure.

Here are some links to a few of them:

• Cell Phone Etiquette
• How to Write a Sympathy Card
• Etiquette in the Office Cubicle

As my article list grows, I’ll post them here. In the meantime, if there are any etiquette issues you’d like for me to address, please leave a comment here or email me through the link on my website: www.DebbyMayne.com.
