Hi Kristi, I just found out that your blog was voted in the top ten by Social Media Examiner. I was really happy to know that a great blog like yours was included. I headed right over to see this week’s Fetching Friday and of course I’m glad I did. I retweeted the link building post and added it to Diigo and Buzz.
Thanks for all of the resources, they are really appreciated.

Kristi – I found your site through a friend of mine (@mmangen dba: Your Virtual Assistant) think I’m going to have to make your Friday posts one of the ones I just stop by as a general course of business, especially since several of your categories are ones that we are particularly interested in for our own business/client needs & services.
Thanks for this!

This is an awesome list – I’ve spent probably the last hour on all the different links you’ve included and I’ve only gotten through about 1/2 of them because a few of them lead me back to my own blog to install some suggested plug-ins, etc.
Thanks, as always — and PS: thanks for including me recently on your Friday mashup for the 5 tips to gain control over your email post! I always appreciate the “love”.

Hey Kristi, good to see that you’re still managing to keep up with finding all these great sites for us to peruse. I gave up on mine ages ago. Reckon I felt there was no need to compete with the best.

Kristi,
I find it amazing how you find the most useful posts! I loved the one about making friends with strangers . I just love making friends. Have always been the “open” kind of person. Of course not everyone is “friend material” (if you know what I mean). Some people are so selfish that they can’t be friends with anyone. Thankfully I have found some nice people who really do care online. Anyways, I’ve been dealing with a lot of things lately that’s why I haven’t come by so much. But when I have a moment it’s always a pleasure to come to your blog.
Blessings ♥,
Eren
