Very excited the IWSG made The Write Life’s list for the fifth year in a row!
Congratulations to the IWSG! Well-deserved!
Thanks, Elizabeth! These links are great, as always. It’s funny; the one that caught my eye this time is the one about podcasts. I’ve been thinking off and on for a while that I’d like to try my hand at podcasting; it doesn’t seem difficult. I’d have to work out what my topic would be and how it would fit in with my website, etc… But it is really tempting…
With your background in radio, you’d be fantastic at it!
I’ll have to come here as DLP to Tweet this for you since I no longer have a personal Twitter account.
Good to know! Makes sense to just have one Twitter handle to manage.
Congrats on making The Write Life’s list of best websites. I already couldn’t resist the link on what makes a strong platform.
Thanks, Natalie!
The one on platform is a good link!
