Hello my lovelies and welcome back to SuperPost Sunday here at nittyGriddy :D! Damn, I really sound like a talk show host when I say that out loud lol. Hmmm…maybe I should be?!
It’s been a hell of a hectic week for me but I’m glad it’s over. The weekend, on the other hand, couldn’t have been any lazier. Sure, it was productive because I worked, but I didn’t physically move much while doing any of it. Don’t you just love those special “I refuse to move” days?
If you were here yesterday then you may have read my special 1 year anniversary thank you post which if you ask me, pretty much kicks-ass! But if you weren’t here, then shame on you! Make sure to get your bug eyes and booty back over to that piece right after you finish reading this SuperPost! I realize that this may sound like an order, and it is – kinda; but you have to give me credit for sounding like a funny dictator (minus the psychotic trait) instead of a scary Stalin or horrific Hitler type.
The other reason why you may want to read nittyGriddy is One Year New is that you might just be in it! That’s right, this particular Blogoversary post is not so much about me (sure it is) as it is about many of you.
Alright, enough of me rambling about me, cause I’ve got some seriously fabulous goodies for you this week. And NO, I don’t get bored of saying that every Sunday – I just have to find a new and creative way to put it every time :).
Seriously though, have I disappointed you so far with my weekly roundups? Well you see then…that’s why I keep tootin’ them – in the ‘hype’ and ‘praise’ sense of the word and not the other meaning for it. And shame on you again for letting your mind wander to the gutter!
So, as my favorite saying goes, “without further ado and blah blah,” here are this Sunday’s SuperPosts on Social Media, Blogging Tips, SEO, Internet Marketing, Traffic Building, Online Money Making Tools and more.
HAPPY READING
