Thanks for another set of links Brad – that website hate post is brilliant!
Thanks too for including the questions series – it was a surprising amount of work to think it through but the feedback and response has been gratifying.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for including me in the links! I really liked Ian Laurie’s headline and am dashing over to read that post along with your other recommendations. How did I miss your post on podcasting? Can’t wait to read that one! I have been following Joanna Young’s series and it is awesome. I appreciate links posts from blogs that I read and love. It’s hard to find all the great stuff on your own. Thanks for always providing useful, and entertaining content and your graciousness in sharing the spotlight with others.
Joanna, Your question series was one of my all time favorites from your blog. It really helped me. Jacob, thanks for the Stumble! Karen, Thanks for your kind words. It’s easy to be gracious in sharing the spotlight when there are so many fine bloggers to share it with!!
