Good stuff for building an online empire.

We've enjoyed camping at Sleeping Bear Dunes State Park in Michigan. We also loved our stay on Mackinac Island a few years ago (fudge and bikes....). Chicago is also a wonderful place to visit, especially along the lakeshore. We were there just recently. Your article has given me ideas of more places to visit!

Mmmm, my mouth is watering from looking over these peach recipes! I'm just starting to see more peaches available in our grocery stores. I'd like to try the pork and peach recipes that you mention. Also the peach salsa sounds very good.

This is good information for me -- I've been haphazardly linking some of my sites together without any particular plan. Time for me to sit down and draw up some link wheel possibilities.

That little fairy graphic is adorable! I'm glad you've joined us here at Wizzley.

My daughter loves picking up beanie babies at thrift stores. Despite what I've told her about collecting them, she immediately removes the TY tag. She says the tag "hurts" the animal. :-) And I think she is sending a message that she loves the animal for itself and not for any kind of retail value.

I just bought my first batch of the season, also at the farmers market. There's nothing better than a perfectly-ripe peach from the Texas Hill Country. :)

I like this article, and I like the article that inspired it. I noticed in the comments of the inspiration was "wordsmith." I've always thought that true wordsmiths should be able to craft prettier ways of expressing that they're good with words.

Also, I'm with you on all of these. I think it all boils down to show, not tell. They always teach that in secondary school writing classes, but some people fail to internalize it, it seems, which makes this article absolutely necessary.

I really appreciate your articles, Michael. There's always something interesting to learn. Thanks. :)

Very warm here, and these are great ideas for keeping food cold for the picnic and cook out...thanks!

Old fashioned fun that involves bikes, costumes, and Popsicle! Love it.

both :)

What a great idea! I used to do swaps like this when my kids were young. My friend's kids would come over and I would teach them things on the (at that time) novel computer. She would take my kids and teach them sign language. It was great!

This looks like such fun for the kids! Thanks for featuring my American flag t-shirt

Very detailed information - I second the comment that I wish I'd run across it a year ago. I'm still a newbie, though, of course, so I think I'll be coming back to this periodically as a refresher course. Great job.
