Some good ones this week!
Thanks, Alex!
Great links, as ever, Elizabeth, so thanks. I really need to check out some of the ones about fitting promo in. I need to do that better, and still get the writing done, and I don’t think I’ve struck that balance yet…
Margot–It’s a tough balance to hit!
There are so many great links this week I hardly know where to start. Thanks, Elizabeth!
Thanks for coming by, Sue!
