Earlier this month, as quite a few of my most recent readers know, I was diligently participating in the 2010 Blogathon. It has been an interesting experiment for me.

May 18th, 2010 Michelle Rafter, Blogathon Organizer and Owner of WordCount One of the more interesting features of the 2010 Blogathon is today’s guest post exchange day. Blogathon participants have wandered about the Internet to post on each other’s blogs.
