You just set up your new organization and you have your spiffy new web site. You look like a pro, now you need to communicate like a pro.

It takes 2 things to pull that off:

1. Create my branded chris@ibeck.com email addresses with improvmx.com
2. Configure Gmail to use my newly branded email address.
