I'd like to thank all of you who took part in Follow Fest - my first blogfest to host, ever. The hop went better than I ever expected, and the response was overwhelming! Not in an unmanageable sort of way, but in an unexpected-number-of-participants sort of way. Once word got out, people just kept signing up! There were some speed bumps: the Linky Tools site went down for a while the very first day (*gasp!* I about died. LOL ), and a few posts were hindered by technical difficulties, family emergencies, and newborns — both human and feline. But, all in all, things went swimmingly well. And that's thanks to YOU. I wish I could give you all prizes. You're all winners, that's for sure. It was a fun, busy week and I'm exhausted, but I'm already toying with the idea of doing a repeat next year. So if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. :) Ready to find out who the prize winners are?
