Hello from Hotlanta!

Recognition, reaching out, & beyond

This post was written to be a part of eMomsAtHome’s Second Group Writing Project. I decided to put this in the mix regarding the topic of Recognizing others’ blog efforts and reaching out to others.

Much ado about nothing

Yesterday, I took the day off from blogging, much to my surprise, there was a buzz floating around the blogosphere. Jon Warass started a service that will allow you to buy blog comments. Notice that I did not link to this guy. Unfortunately, other more popular bloggers did.
