"Best of the Web" and Other Announcements...

Good morning groovy people.
Like many of you, I'm preparing for the holiday weekend, and looking forward to a fun, food-filled, safe celebration.

As we come to the end of the month, I wanted to share some items of interest with you. (And please feel free to share your own).

1. Pen & Prosper was just chosen as "Best of the Web" by a popular lifestyle Blog known as PocketChange.com. I'm really geeked and grateful to have been recognized along with some very interesting, dynamic and eclectic sites. If you have an opportunity, please check them out and share some online love.

2. In June, Pen & Prosper will celebrate three years of being in the blogosphere! Yay! Though it may be a bit early, I'd just like to say how wonderful each of you have made this "ride". I look forward to more of our journey in times to come. Please make sure you stop by in June to share all the fun and festivities, and a few surprises and give-aways.

3. Are you looking to make more money in 2012? Seeking ways to "work smarter not harder"? If so, signing up for an online writer's class could be a smart choice.
Coffeehouseforwriters.com will start its new session of popular classes, May 28th.
Offerings include: Blogging for Fun or Profit, Bootcamp for Writers, Writing for Magazines, How to Write Ebooks, Writing Historical Fiction, Your Personal Editor and more! Sign up today for a better writing future.

Here's wishing you a wonderful holiday celebration with rich memories!

Jen

      P.S.

      Linda, I hope to get a guest post from you soon on your secret "Chicken Soup for the Soul" recipe.

      It seems you have been quite successful at their series. And I want in! :-)

  5. Congratulations, it's alway's nice
    to be recognized,

    I also like the whole concept of - Best of the Web -
    Today I also actually thought about Presenting the Best you can find on my own Blog(s), because of that besides having a - Most Popular - widget,

    Today on several of my Blogs I also made an addition to my
    FAQ-Page organizing it by arranging Links to Blogposts into ('What is?' and 'How To') Categories. That way making it Easy to Instantly find the Best Posts that give Answers to Questions.
