Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

While many are starting to ask me for blogging advice, I often find myself turning to Darin L. Hammond’s ZipMinis blog for advice.

    1. Aw, you’re welcome, and thank you for your blog as well! I gain so much insight to blogging from yours, and I’m more than happy to share the information. Are you aware that you have been integrated (and referenced) in my latest webinar? Hopefully it’s bringing you a few more followers. Keep up your great work as well! It’s an intelligent analysis of the blogging process, and that’s why I like reading it and referencing it.
