I participated in the recent Daily Blog Tips writing project, contributing a post on Crafting Effective Criticism, in the hopes of winning a prize. All of the participants are posting their favorite posts, and the posts with the most mentions are eligible to win.
So, here are my five favorite posts from the contest. None of them have anything to do with reading, but there’s more to life than books, right? (Oh, who am I kidding…?)
Top 7 Tips for Brand New WordPress Blogs – Because I like WordPress.
Tips and Tricks for a Beautiful Blogging Life – Because I like life.
Tips for Using Film Critics – Because I like film.
A Couple of Coffee Tips and Tricks – Because I like coffee.
Basic Cleaning Tips and Tricks – Because I hate to clean.
I read a book for work this morning that absolutely sickened me. I think it’s the only time I’ve actually used the word “evil” in my comments.
After the jump, some link love for all the participants:

I will need to check out Shirley Jackson, for example. With two sons, Susan Cooper is constantly showing up around my home…not to mention Mr. Tolkien and Mr. Lewis.
Thanks for linking to all of us giving out a little extra love link never hurt anyone. :c) Goodluck!

Annie, thank you for the links (you can find me under photography). There is a lot of good material in this list, but my favourite piece of new information, which I received on arriving on this page is that Bill Cosby taught Speed Reading!
Now that I never knew. 🙂
It’s true!!
Annie, thanks for putting up all the links.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours lately, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty price enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the web can be much more useful than ever before.
