Great links Cathy. I am now moving on to the Favicon link because I have wanted to have one for the longest time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! I love Michele's post on faux books -- wasn't that great? So glad you discovered the blog Breaking the Spine -- Jill's been in my reader for a while now.
ReplyDeleteI liked "Can I change the name of my blog". I have thought about my own blog name which I coined when I blogged mostly in Danish and translated some posts into English. On the other hand it probably doesn´t matter as my readers know I am a Danish oddball anyway. And the ´crime´ part of my name is what helps me focus when I think about my blog and what I really want to write about.
ReplyDeleteThis weekly post is always guaranteed to eat up at least 30 minutes of my time ... and I love it! Thanks for the link to my post :)
ReplyDeleteLilly-- I hope that link helps you to make one. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteBeth-- Jill's blog is one that I've heard mentioned for quite a while. I can't remember exactly how I finally found it. Doesn't really matter though...as long as I did. Right? :)
Dorte-- I'd follow you around no matter what your blog's name was!
Wendy-- You're welcome! I'm glad my post is a bit of a time suck. ;)
Oh, how kind of you!
ReplyDeleteI've had the nicest Saturday morning reading all over the net, thanks to your links post. I am now most excited about getting an ipad. Just a wish right now but I'm scheming.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not sure if I'm going to be sucked into buying a iPad. For some reason I want one, and I can't explain why. Great links, it took me a while to read them all but it was worth it. Thanks for liking to mine.
ReplyDeleteDorte-- I never comment on anyone's blog very much, but yours is one that I keep my eye on and read.
ReplyDeleteMargot-- I hope your scheming is successful!
Ryan-- You're welcome!
