Thanks for the suggestions--I can't wait to try them out!
I remember coming across your project (via Seth's blog) and was so bummed that I didn't make the deadline. I'll be sure to make the next one.
Will you be sending reminders? Or do you have an email list I could join?
Look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
