  Congrats Alina and looking forward to your next guest post. You’re always welcome on Blogsessive!

  Heidi, nothing to thank me for. You people did all the hard work compiling that list. Women bloggers are an important of the blogosphere, many of them being role models and leaders of opinion. Your post celebrates that.

  Melvin, your choice of words is definitely not the best in order to ask for an inclusion in such future lists.

  You first “attack” my taste in reading, only to ask me to link to you? So, you’d basically need my bad choices in terms of recommendations, right?

  See the problem with your comment?

  Perhaps writing an email, suggesting a really good article you wrote might have been much more successful.

  Thanks for stopping by.
