I think a lot of people are just afraid that blogging requires some sort of programming skill. Well, I'm here to tell you that I have no such skill and still manage to keep my little blog running. You did a service to your Mississippi library community with this article and gave some great tips and blogs to check out. And even though I don't really have the time to do challenges, I think they are a great way to encourage people to share what they are reading and comment. Isn't that what we are all here for - to connect and also find some great new books? Give yourself a pat on the back.
