Hi Marti, great stuff! I've actually read many of these, but there are a couple that I have not as of yet. You do a great job of sifting through the unending posts. ;-) And you're a great example of how to run a group.

Teri... thx for the very sweet remark, I do appreciate it a lot.

Great stuff as usual and am going to download that book! So glad to see you on the rain...It seems the writing on the rain is really improving...I love it!

Midori... you're right(as always), it's also great to see so many quality posts from newbies. Later...

marti - Your posts are always so content rich that I tend to bookmark them for future reading. Of course, that is a mistake because I rarely manage to get back to my bookmarks. This time I am going to spend some time atleast skimming the links you have provided. What a wonderful contribution you make to the rain!!!

Marti - I had never even heard of flagship content - pretty interesting. As always I love your posts - I can catch up on anything I may have missed. Thanks!

Marti.... again, thanks for doing this. I know it takes some time. I haven't had as much time on AR in the last week or so, so this was helpful. And thanks for the mention.....

Kathi... I know what you mean, I guess we're all time challenged. Just pick the cherries and read what you can. Thank for the feedback.

Maureen... the ebook is worth the read, Chris Garrett is a very well respected blogger. I try to follow him when I have time.

Jeff... it's my pleasure and thank you for another great post/contribution to the group.

Marti...

Excellent. Now I can play catch up with a bookmark :)

TLW...ROAR!

Marti,

I'm like Maureen and have never heard of flagship content....you find the most useful and interesting e-books for us, and best of all, they're free! Thanks so much for searching out such wonderful links for the AR community to benefit from.

It looks like a very interesting summary of posts that you are recommending and there are many I haven't read yet.....I'll read the ones I've missed over the next day.

Thanks so much for the mention of two of my posts! I greatly appreciate your support and feel very humbled to be included. You do a magnificent job of moderating The Art of Marketing You group...

((-:

TLW... I'm trying to make your life easier so you can spend more time with Bryant. ;-)

Jo... I hope it's warmer in Belleville than here in Montreal, we're freezing. Enjoy the ebook, Chris knows his stuff. No need to feel humbled, your articulate, insightful blogs always get my attention. I'm officially a Jo fan!

So many posts so little time, I hardly have time to read them, glad you have time to compile them

Hey Marti,

Marti,

I spent alot of time here hititng these previous posts, some I had seen and some I have not. I plan to return here from time to time for more information.

I'm going to come back to read the posts I missed. Thanks for this great summary!

Marti, once again thanks for all of the great info you provide. Can't wait to get Chris's e-book. I had never heard of the flag thing. Looking forward to some more learn'en!

Michael... it seems we're all pressed for time, I hope the review helps sort things out a bit.

Neal... hi and thanks, I'd love to do one of your week in reviews one day but I want to do it justice. If/when I get a slow week, I'll definitely give it a shot.

Mike... thx for stopping by, enjoy the stuff you missed.

Diane... you're welcome, thx for stopping by.

Bill... I thank you, we all do, you keep bringing such amazing goodies to our attention!

Hi Marti, thanks for another useful post! I always look forward to seeing something new from you.

Kent... thx for stopping by, glad to hear you enjoy the info.

Thanks Marti! I'm an official 'Marti fan', myself. ((-:

It has been colder than usual here too and lots of snow this year. I know Montreal gets pretty cold being right on the St. Lawrence.....stay warm!! Spring will soon be here....

Jo... you're such a sweetie. I also know what yoou mean re snow, I'm counting the weeks for Spring to arrive.

Marti:

I am about to give up on reading posts on AR and just wait for you to update your blog.

Keep up the work.

Marti - I enjoyed the list of wonderful blogs, I haven't finished, but hope to by the end of the night. I am trying to learn all I can, as I feel very inadequate compared to these wonder posts.

Candy... thx for the feedback, it's really appreciated. We're all in the learning process, it never ends on the net. If you need help with anything, don't be shy to ask.
