And props to: Bluegal, Drifty, Tengrain, Tex Betsy and her beach bums (Freckles Cassie, Larue, Pellora, Assorted Gnomes), Jurrasic Pork, Dr. Zauis, Darkblack, Battacchio and the rest of the Sidebar All-Stars.

There are others I wish I could blogroll and recommend, but they've apparently gone walk-about. (I prefer to think that rather than to FB or tweeter) A few have climbed aboard larger sites and insist they haven't sold-out. They seek something? Recognition? Acceptance? A Paycheck? That's dandy, but why abandon the dingy? You might want/need it again one day. A few others have been cowed into taking down their content because they were "caught" by their employer talking about their work.
Such Muzzlement is a puzzlement to me. It's not as though their concerns have been addressed. is it?

Finally, of interest to me. YMMV

It's a tough slog to post ORIGINAL work every day. It takes some discipline and commitment. Once a week? Once a month? Who knows?
