Does getting Featured here in The Rain sometimes feel like a roll of the dice? Not anymore. I'm always open to member suggestions on posts that should be Featured but somehow got missed.

Giving deserving posts more exposure is what Second Chance Saturday is all about. Be sure to tag me in the comment section of any post and watch for it in the next edition of Second Chance Saturday.

Hi Will Hamm ,
Ah yes, the Feature Fairy has always been a mystery. But, in fairness, it's impossible to keep up with all the blogs every day. Kathy Streib and I are trying to do our part to bring a few more forward. I'm sure we miss a lot of deserving posts too. That's why I am always open for recommendations from membership to be included in my series. Have a great day, Will.
