Sensational Saturday - it is sensational to get better at what you do.
Last week I posted an article about interesting articles I had found during the week related to great ideas for bloggers. I belong to a great group of blogging women on Facebook called, Shades of Social Media and two of the members suggested I make that article a running series on this blog. I liked the idea and now each sensational Saturday I am going to give you some great articles on blogging and business that I have found interesting during the past week. Be sure to check both sets of articles, there is often relevant overlap!
