Each week, I collect a variety of links I find interesting or helpful, some to blog about and some to save and share. At the end of each week, I always have a handful of links sitting on my computer that I haven’t done anything with. I’m going to institute a new feature—each Saturday, I’ll share these links here on my blog and ask my readers to share any interesting articles you have found in the last week as well.
And so here you go—your first installment!
