Hey Kristi,

Another week passes and you deliver yet another great collection of links. Always checking out the posts you recommend here. Pretty much 90% of ‘em end up with a retweet or a StumbleUpon like – they are that good! Paul’s entry on writing pillar articles is tough to beat, definitely one of my faves.

Have a great weekend!

Awesome stuff as usual. Really like Pat’s post on bringing new life to old posts. Especially where he talks about referencing old posts as a sort of continuation in the new post. Like series posts! Those are fun. That pic of the zoo animals is AWESOME! Doesn’t it look like they’re posing for the pic? How human!! I totally smiled.

Hey Kristi

I always check out your Friday link posts….there’s always stuff I’ve missed, and bloggers I’ve not found before.

I’m catching up on two weeks as I’ve been without proper Internet access (have been on vacation so have a valid excuse!). Your blog is the first place I’ve come to for catching up purposes.

As always, thanks for linking to me, as well as linking to the other great posts.
