Interesting Posts Around the Web – Jan 4

Well, things change and Adnan has decided that for the time being he will continue to build the site up and posted his Best of 2007 posts. Check out his blog, I am sure you will like it.

What do you mean “still using Google”? Why on earth would you use anything else??

@ALL who commented here: I felt it was a bit strange I didn’t get any comments today and those beautiful faces/avatars on the mybloglog widget just came and left! It didn’t occur to me that comments could be waiting in the moderation queue .. never happened before… So, I think its one of the plugins i recently installed – deactivated it and hope the problem goes away…. let me know if your comment isn’t appearing here – via contact form – please!

hey Karen: I felt I was cheating a bit with my best 101 lists link in your post :) but you have a superb list of resources there, as always – so couldn’t ignore it :) glad you liked the links…

Hope you have a great year as well! tc and stay in touch!
