Elizabeth – Oh, another treasure trove! I’m really interested in the links about interacting with readers. And I’m intrigued by the one about how to ask for a favour. Yes this is definitely going to be a good week of link-browsing.

Many interesting links. But I can’t read all of them. Then I would just sit here all day >;)
