Notable links of the week

I have a routine of reading various blogs and groups throughout the week, and I learn all kinds of valuable things that I'm so grateful someone posted. So, I like to gather them up and pass them along for others who might might have missed this information.

Happy Friday!


By way of NA Sharpe’s blog, I have news of the 4th annual Muse Online Writers Conference: October 12 - 18, 2009. It’s free and it’s on-line! Registration ends August 1st.

OH - and this comment is for Marvin, should he drop by...

The very second I posted this, I remembered that I hadn't yet learned how to make the pop-up links....so I raced over to the group, read the tutorial and fixed it right away!

It's even easier than I thought!

Hi, Elle,
I agree with Karen, this is a nice idea. May I steal if from you for use on my blog now and again??

Galen - sure, go ahead, it's not I invented it either *g*

Awesome--thanks for passing on what you found. :-)

Nice way to consolidate and also relieve yourself of the onus of writing on a day when folks are thinking elsewhere.

Great post for the end of the week. Friday round-ups are always perfect, and sharing information is always appreciated.

What a cool idea! Can I steal it for my own blog?
