Prose of a Pol

Last week, I wrote a post about 3 Useful Del.icio.us Tags, Life Quotes, & Traffic Generators, which was part of a blog project contest hosted by Daily Blog Tips. Well, the full list is up and after reading through all 115 entries, it’s obvious there’s a lot of quality bloggers on this list! You can check out my favorite posts below, but also check out the full list if you’ve got some spare time.

The posts were broken up by category so you’ll find my top 3 favorite posts, listed arbitrarily, from each category below. These posts were chosen based on personal preference and relative usefulness so don’t be discouraged if your site isn’t listed!
