I’m always adjusting the format of these posts. The feedback, which is usually positive, (thank you all very much) is somewhat limited. I’ve tried more images, less words, more personal, quotes, and I even tried a daily version with five links for a very short time. I’ll be adding a few more variations in the coming weeks but one idea I’m toying with is to add creative jobs. I see a lot of these in my search for content and it seems like a good piece to add. Another piece of content that I’m adding today is books. I try and read a lot (blogs are not the same) and while I do create an annual reading post, there are books that I don’t get to or are visual in nature. Enjoy the links–see you all on the back half of 2023 in June.
