Link Love

I had the idea of developing a brilliant post for today but a couple of deadlines and an uncooperative internet connection scotched those plans rather quickly. Instead, as I plan on making myself scarce over the next ten days or so, I thought I’d share with my brilliant and faithful readers some link love, the final dispensation from me for 2007:

Brian Clark of Copyblogger fame shared information about a free ebook he read for us creative types. Time Management for Creative People was written by Mark McGuinness a writer and creativity coach who shares with his readers tips on how to manage your time and increase your productivity. I’ll be downloading my copy and reading it first thing in 2008.

Speaking of writers, Laura Spencer recently shared her frustrations when visiting a slow-loading website (I hope that it wasn’t this one); Georganna Hancock discussed the differences between published and unpublished work (with a surprise for me that blogging isn’t considered as published by some); Lillie Ammann posted some of her blogging goals for 2008; and Chris Bibey shared the struggles every freelance writer has this time of the year — trying to get it all done to allow for some much needed time off.

I’m a frequent visitor over at SEOmoz (gotta keep tabs on page strength, right?) and routinely read what Randfish and others have to say. No surprise there, but SEOmoz reports that technology sites receive the lion’s share of Google search traffic. If only I could convert this blog into a full blown, techno site. Nah, I think I’ll stay the course for 2008!

Seeing that I’m having some difficulty getting this blog article done, I’ll reserve my next batch of helpful links for early 2008. In the meantime, I want to thank each of my readers for stopping by and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
