Weekend on the Links #4: Daily Blog Tips Project 3 Edition

Last week I entered the Daily Blog Tips Project 3 Contest, in which each blogger had to write a post that involved the number 3 somehow. Mine was 3 Things to do Before You Hit Publish (and 1 Thing to Do After). 115 blogs entered, and since I couldn’t narrow it down to a top 3 - there were too many great entries - I picked my Top 3 in each category. Check it out:
