Another month has just ended which means that I take a look at the top commentators to see who was on the top. What I saw is that Richard (as known as Richard McLaughlin) has the biggest comment count when summing up both names. So I’m proud to announce that Richard from richardmclaughlin.biz is the winner for the first spot. For the second spot, I draw the name of Pink Ink from pink-ink-pink.blogspot.com. Congratulation to both of you and I thank you so much for being part of the community. In the meantime, I would like to thank everyone that supports me either by being part of my readership or by any other action around my blog! Thanks!

Don’t hesitate to give them a visit; you may discover great blogs and remarkable bloggers. The 125×125 ads will be online for the next month. Then, as usual, I will reset the top commentator counter and make 2 other winners! This way, you will always have your chance to get your place on the top! All you have to do is being part of my email subscribers. By subscribing to the blog you will be part of the draw and you will receive every future article in your mailbox. You can subscribe by

Things change over time. They may get better or they may get worst. They may become very popular or just disappear silently! The fact is that time influences everything and you can use that to create new and valuable content. If you did or read a review in the past, you may want to update it to make it accurate with the actual reality.
