Three things about the previous editions (1.0/2.0) of Blog Rounds:
- It was fun!
- I met interesting, creative people there. Take a look at this bloggers list!!
- The no holds barred, long form blogging is sooo cool!
I still have the archive list of the weekly blog rounds, but some of the links are not active anymore. 🙁
But, just this month, TBR alumni wanted to resurrect the weekly blog rounds. Looks like I’m not the only one who missed the weekly blog challenge.
