Hello All!

OK here we go. As I mentioned in my last post, a brand new feature here is the monthly post round-up. What this means is, at the end of each month I take the best articles from that month (decided by several factors) and link them all in one post.

So as not to duplicate myself too much here, read the last post to see WHY this is something ALL bloggers should consider doing…there are many benefits, both for the blogger and readers

Since this is the first one, combined with the fact that I was only able to get 7 posts up this month (8 including this one), I’ve decided to make this extra special…I’ll be picking posts all the way back to the beginning

Lets get started then, shall we? For our purposes here, I’ll be shortening some post titles. All links open in the same window. Read/comment and simply back-space back here
