Wednesday Round-up: May 2, 2007
Howdy bloggers and bloggerettes! (Since I just made that word up, I get to decide - one ‘r’ or two? One, definitely. More elegant. Serious! Type them both out and see for yourself. There - a free bonus lesson on creative writing for blogs - make up your own language!)

If you’re at all interested in creating a community at your blog space, then you’re going to want to read Liz Strauss on Successful Blogging - specifically, this post…

What a great clean look and wonderful writing the new Blog New Watch is sporting. Thank you so much for the link love and the push from you. I appreciate the mention about “this post.”
