The Deja Vu Blogfest



On December 16th, 2011, a blogfest was held where participants re-posted their favorite blog offering, or one that never received the exposure it should have.  On that day the blogosphere was chock full of past writing brilliance!  Encouragement, enlightenment, knowledge, bared souls, stimulation, hilarity, insecurities, success stories!  All on display…the very same day…like no other time before.

The list of links on MR. LINKY below point directly to the post for that day so that anyone who missed the blogfest can still peruse some really dynamite blog posts.  Enjoy!

    I'll do it...but can I wait to post the blog with the badge and everything until tomorrow or later this evening? I'm swamped at work right now...I can do it tonight at home, though.

    I experimented putting the graphic with a link in the sidebar of my blog, but for some reason it kept messing up the formatting of the rest of the blog so I had to remove it. I will post an article about the blogfest tomorrow instead. I hope that's okay.

But, since it's only 1:49 AM on December 17th and it's still December 16th in California and Hawaii (but, frankly, I don't even know what day it is in New Guinea), I'm going to go ahead and dig up an oldie (no, not Grandma). Thanks!
