Sometimes you deserve a second chance, not because you weren't fabulous the first time, but because the timing and circumstances weren't quite right. You just got overlooked." -Carol Williams
Second Chance Saturday is all about giving deserving posts more exposure. If you see a deserving post that didn't get Featured, be sure to tag Carol in the comment section of any post and watch for it in the next edition of Second Chance Saturday.
PS - this is Kat! Carol asked me to fill in this week as she was going to be out of town. This is week #419 which makes it more than 8 years that Carol has been regularly making sure this post is published. Talk about dedication!! And now to the actual post.....
Let's Welcome Our First-Time Bloggers:
Note: We don't feature first-time blogs that aren't about real estate or those that appear to be spamming their own blogs. We consider that spamming the site.
PS - Kat again. I also didn't include any posts that appeared to be mostly AI generated.
* As of Friday 10-17-25, nothing to see here! *
