Thanks for the “link love!”
I’m off to read those great posts you’ve listed here.
Smiles,

Thanks for a great post, Amy! And thanks for including my post among your linked-to blog posts!
I’ve visited (and enjoyed your recommended posts on) a few of the blogs on your list and will visit the others as I find more time. Right now, I have a deadline to beat–actually two!
Cheers!
Jeanne
I love love love when people do this! Allows me to see blogs that I don’t usually visit, and to find new blog loves that I will become a daily visitor to!
Thanks Amy!!
Michele,
You’re welcome. It was a great review you wrote.
Hope you find something good to read that you haven’t already found. You visit a lot more blogs than I do, so you’ve probably beaten me to most of these.
Jeanne,
You seem to get around, too, so I hope you were able to find something new.
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for visiting! I’m glad you enjoy it. It makes for nice weekend reading, although it actually takes longer to do one of these than it does to write a “real” post.
Have a good day everybody!
Great post. Super links. Thanks!

Amy,
Thanks for including me. I hope my review of AC helps answer any questions your readers may have about the company.
Blessings,

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the post.
Good morning Misti,
Thanks for visiting again! I’m sure your review will help many people. I get a lot of questions about AC, so I will start referring them to your review.
Have a good one!
Amy, you probably already know about this article about the $10 million AC received yet they’ve continued to pay next to nothing. I thought I’d share it. I think it will help writers decide ;0)
Smiles,
Michele
Hi Michele,
Yes, I did read about it, although I didn’t read the same article you did. I don’t have very grand personal opinions about AC since they’ve significantly reduced their already-too-low upfront payments. Still, I suppose it’s a fair outlet for those who seek a creative means of expression rather than a career (i.e., the few bucks tossed at them is just a bonus, not a way to pay their rent).

We love a good conversation!
Please use a name when commenting. Does not have to be your real name or full name. But responding to folks calling themselves "Make Money Writing Online" and such kinda sucks. Calling yourself keywords will likely get you thrown into my spam filter.
