A Few Faves from ProBlogger Writing Contest

by Jenny

I posted my Top 10 predictions for 2007 here and then, as part of the contest I entered at ProBlogger, I’ve chosen some of my fav posts for the contest. Here they are:

As a newbie, I need all the help I can get and I’ve got some thanks to this post by Yoav.

I’m a sucker for the pretty pictures plus I just loved the title of Anthony’s post.

I enjoyed this next post by Northern Girl because I work with teenagers in the high school setting. Yeah, it’s always a nice experience (or at least it must provide great fodder for blog posts).

And one more: Glen L. Johnson, you are the man. I just love LOVED this post on plus size fashion predictions. Since I am someone whom everyone seems to think is currently PREGNANT. Yeah, I’m just a fat girl. Whaddya want? So I really appreciated Glen’s thoughtful musings on the growth (okay, I could have used a different word, but who cares?) in the plus size industry. Rock on, Glenn!

Oh, and here’s everyone and their fabulous posts at ProBlogger’s website. I would link it up like a pro, but I’m just not that good yet.

    thanky kindly for the comments about my blog. I’m just telling it like I see it, hopefully others will see what I see soon.

    Hey - thanks for the nod. There is always so much to learn - but from the looks of what you’ve been posting you’re muddling through just like the rest of us.

    Just let me know if you need any “teen material” - I’ve got it busting at the seams.
