The list currently contains over 400 quotes, so you&#8217;re guaranteed to find some wisdom (or at least some humor) in there. If you don&#8217;t collect quotes, you may want to take a look at the article &#8216;<a href="http://litemind.com/five-reasons-to-collect-favorite-quotes/">5 Reasons to Collect Favorite Quotes</a>&#8216; instead.</p><h2>Blog Writing Projects</h2><p>A blog writing project is when several bloggers write about the same subject or around the same central theme. These projects are really nice because everybody gets to know some very interesting new sites and people. The best entries in the project – decided by the participants – also usually get some extra exposure, and sometimes even win prizes.</p><p> Here are my votes for best entries in two writing projects I am participating:</p><p><strong><a href="http://www.dailyblogtips.com/blog-writing-project-tips-tricks-final-list/"> Tips &amp; Tricks Writing Project at Daily Blog Tips</a>:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="http://computhomas.com/presentation/10-tips-for-successful-presentations/">10 Tips for Successful Presentations</a> by Computhomas.</li><li><a href="http://nielsteunis.com/blog/2007/09/13/one-secret-tip-to-improve-your-health/">One Secret Tip to Improve Your Health</a> by Niels.</li><li><a href="http://www.heretocreate.com/2007/09/17/9-tips-to-be-more-creative/">9 Tips to be More Creative</a> by CSS.</li></ul><p><strong><a href="http://www.bluejar.com/how-to-group-writing-project-final-entries-list/">&#8216;How To&#8217; Writing Project at BlueJar</a>:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2007/09/17/mind-map-tutorial-on-blogging/">Mind Map Tutorial on Blogging</a> by Monika.</li><li><a href="http://www.doingitforme.com/how-to-promote-yourself-when-you-don%e2%80%99t-want-to/">How To Promote Yourself (When You Don&#8217;t Want To.)</a> by Dee.</li><li><a href="http://www.pingable.org/how-to-make-your-wordpress-blog-safer/">How To Make Your WordPress Blog Safer</a> by Simon Ward.</li></ul><h2>Looking Forward</h2><p>It has surely been a fun ride for me since this site <a href="http://litemind.com/imperfect-start/">launched</a> about two months ago, as I could never have anticipated such a positive reaction from readers.
