The Hot List of Links for Bloggers
We’ve been negligent! Actually, we put the weekly hot list on hold for just a couple of weeks but we’re back and we don’t plan on breaking the routine again anytime soon. We’ve selected five great stories from the past week (or two) from around the web. We choose stories we feel are of special interest to bloggers in particular. Enjoy.

Originally, I only skimmed through the Copyblogger article. But seeing it here, I went back to it and actually read it the entire way. I think it’ll help me out, as I’ve been a little on the lazy side after doing that series on Blogussion.
