Alex, thanks for mentioning my inclusion in the WE magazine list! As for guest posts, I’m sure there will be more to come in 2008 from me
Well well the 2.7.1 is in the Beta stage, so i will wait for the upgrade. The Crush Adwords seems to be a nice thing to read. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for mentioning the 101 women bloggers to watch mentioned in WE magazine for Women.
As the Publisher & Editor in chief, it is always heartening to know others find value in our posts.
These women bloggers are really doing great things and we are delighted to share them with our readers.
Thanks again,
Heidi Richards Mooney
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.
Hmmm.. Didn’t real find much goldmine there. Maybe you can link to me as well in the future?
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.
