How you collect information that's pertinant to me at the moment, I have no idea. *giggles* Time to go write myself an e-mail of useful links for later when I'm not at the day job... he he he.
Thank you!

Thanks for these links! I look forward to Roni's guest blogging post. I love design, too, and it was fun to look at the top ten book covers of 2011, but they didn't blow me away. Some of them were good, but I wasn't crazy about many of them. If they were the best, then covers must have been pretty weak in 2011.
Thanks for the shoutout! I'm off to check out gerunds (vaguely remember these from high school English) and how to make a book trailer.
