Time to wrap up June! It’s been a crazy month around here and I’ve got some cool links and things to share.
We’re still working through 31 Days to Build a Better Blog in the 31 Days Blog Challenge Group, and the Ultimate Blog Challenge started yesterday (I missed posting the first day… see, it’s not too late to jump in and join, you can play catch up with me!).
I also decided to jump in and test out Blokube. I’m not too active yet but you can connect with me here: http://www.blokube.com/user/profile/MichelleShaeffer/
Oh, and I joined BlogFrog, too. Anyone active there? I need to figure out how to navigate a bit, but what got me to sign up was a discussion about one of my recent posts.
My Favorite Links of the Month:
As a new addition to my monthly wrap ups, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite links, and links I’ve found helpful, from other websites and blogs that I’ve run across during the month.

Wow, I have a lot of catching up to do on some amazing topics. Thanks for making it a one-shop-stop!
You’re welcome, Tia. Thanks for stopping by!
You already know I really LOVE your monthly wrap-ups, right?
But what did I tell you last month?
It’s RISKY for me to read these doggone wrap-ups of yours because now you’ve tempted me to check out at least half a dozen items on this page! That’s right. I’ll be spending the next two hours going from one to the next — starting with Fiona’s post on “12 Webinar Platforms”. :)
Can you maybe skip next month? C’mon. Have a heart. LOL!
LOL But there’s so much great stuff to share… :)
This is a most awesome post. Thank you so much. Like Melanie I will be spending considerable time looking through all the links. I am so glad I found your page and signed up. Love all the info you provide. You are amazing!
