Thanks Matt. I found and subscribed to several blogs because of these “Best of” posts! Now it’s great to be in one…I hope I can make it into a few more “Best of” posts during ’08! Happy New Year!
Matt – Getting 3 links in one of your Best Of posts is like having Christmas and New Year’s all rolled into one! Gosh, I really thank you for that and have to say, YIPPEE!
Now I get to go read all the ones I missed. You know how much I love your Best Of efforts.
