Thanks for linking to the t-shirts; there were some great contest entries and it was pretty hard to choose! I’m personally bribing myself with a couple of them for meeting weight loss goals, so expect to see me sporting them proudly at Blog World in November.
I really like the rest of the links you compiled, too; I’m almost afraid to click that many interesting articles this early in the morning—that may be the end of my productivity on a Friday!

Thanks for the link Christine!
Wendy Piersall on 10 Aug 2007 at 12:55 pm #
Thanks for the mention Chris!

There are some really good reads in there. Thanks Christine.

Really good reads indeed. However I get the following error when I visit the article by Arsenal Marketing:
The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…
Weird, have to remember to check back later.

Your “19 One-Way Posts” link is especially relevant given Google’s new “Linkback Laws” (I posted about them here: http://tinyurl.com/2umcs8 )
The great thing about this post is that almost all of the links that you listed are of interest to me, as opposed to most linking-posts.
Keep up the good work!

I just love these shirts Sarah – what a great idea!! Are you going to be speaking at Blog World or in attendance? I wasn’t aware of this conference – thanks for bringing it to my attention!!
Christine on 13 Aug 2007 at 2:39 am #
You bet Erik – I always enjoy those goals posts!!
Christine on 13 Aug 2007 at 2:40 am #
Weird! I got it to open ok… let me know if it happens again!
Christine on 13 Aug 2007 at 2:41 am #

It’s always easy to find things to link to on your blog Wendy

What an interesting post Dan – thanks for sharing the link… even more reason to take the hour or so to sign up for these various social networks and use the advice in Arsenal Marketing’s post. Thanks for sharing!

I’m going to Blog World as an attendee. It looks like a great conference with some very useful sessions as well as a lot of networking, and given that it’s in cheap-travel Vegas, I couldn’t resist.
Christine on 14 Aug 2007 at 12:32 pm #
That sounds like a LOT of fun… I’m not too far from Vegas…maybe I’ll see you there! I’ll look for you in one of these shirts!!
