When I first asked Wendy Piersall if I could use one of her articles as a resource for one of my now semi-defunct sites, I had no idea what an amazing friend I was about to make. Over the past 18 months I have had the pleasure of being a part of Wendy’s rapidly growing community at eMoms at Home. Well, in case you haven’t heard, Wendy has relaunched her brand into something much bigger and very exciting! Introducing Sparkplugging!

Sparkplugging is for people who want to make things happen - in their business, in their lives and in the world around them. Wendy’s site has grown from being a hobby site about a Mom sharing what she knows about working from home and making money on the internet to being a multi-author resource destination! She has gathered some of the most passionate bloggers out there to share their knowledge and views on topics such as:

• Internet Entrepreneur
• Craft Business
• Freelance Business
• Home Office Organization
• Contests & Coupons
• Kids Activities
• The Man Page
• Career & Life Balance

So, what are you waiting for? Go visit Wendy and her team at their new digs! And give them some Stumble or Link Love while you are at it.

Busy, busy, busy is my life this week, but there are a few posts that I just have to share - just in case you missed it!

Are you using Twitter to connect yet? Wendy has published a huge list of Moms on Twitter while her Dad-focused writer Derek has got the Dads Twit list covered.

Dawud is back with a brand new site design and a thought provoking article on outsourcing for your business.

Chris Garrett wants to know who has upgraded to WordPress 2.5. I have upgraded on some client sites but am holding off on my own for a few more days. I already know that some of my favorite plugins don’t work in 2.5 and that is why I am dragging my feet. I do like the new dashboard though.
