From Molly Jo:
I met William online. If you’ve followed Frankly, My Dear . . . for the last few years, you’ll know he’s a regular commenter. His photo posts have always drawn me in, making him one of my Top Ten choices for guest blogging.

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words.

Well, maybe not when you’re just carrying your camera along on your walk and inadvertently click, getting a blurry image or the side of your pants. That just qualifies as a “delete immediately” picture.

MoJo Says: Five Ways Counting Kittens Can Boost Your Blog Traffic

For realz. Who doesn’t love photos of cute kittens? (Which begs the question: Are there ever any ugly kittens? I think not.) And better ratings? And smart, helpful people? Those social bees will be swarming all over for a piece of this sweet pie.

FIVE THINGS FRIDAY: Blogs

I love blogging. I love sharing my little bits and pieces of the world with you. And I love reading other blogs, too.

Today’s Five Things Friday is about some of my favorite blogs.

1. To start with, today I’m the featured guest blogger over at Things They Can’t Say.


So click on the badge to read how I’m not ready to be an empty-nester. It was a hard post for me to write, because I wanted to get it just right. I’m still not sure anyone else will cry when they read it, but maybe if Dot reads it, … read the rest. . .
