This Week’s Follow Friday…
Smaller than usual. I didn’t get around as much and had two guest posts on BCB, so I was able to take two days off from commenting and such. Because of that, I didn’t get to read as much as I would have liked! A smaller list, however, is easier to get around!
Enjoy!

WeBlogBetter is turning 1 year old! In celebration of this, Kiesha has put together a great giveaway contest. Several prizes will be awarded, and you can win up to $90 cash just by writing about the birthday giveaway. There are other ways to win, and you can read about them here.

ThesisAwesome
If you have Thesis theme, either on just one site or several, and you have no idea what to do with it in terms of design, you’re in luck. My friend Hesham over at FamousBloggers (you are probably very familiar with it!) developed a special membership club called ThesisAwesome, and members there have access to high-quality, premium Thesis skins. All you do is upload these skins to your Thesis installation following the instructions, and you will have professionally-designed themes, and all you will need to do is tweak theme here and there and they will be all yours.
Join now, because the membership right now is only $29.99 for the year, and that will only last until October 25 when it goes up to $39.99. ThesisAwesome also has an excellent affiliate program!
Next Week’s List
Want to be part of next week’s list? It’s easy! Just start commenting here on the blog, or sharing things with me on Twitter (@bizchickblogs), or (new) share a link to your post on the wall at Facebook.com/BizChickBlogs. Everyone is welcome, no matter the niche. Remember to post something each week! I like to include posts that have been published this same week, so this is an incentive to keep blogging!

Tia, you rock! Thanks for including me in the Follow Friday post! I’m trying to live up to your example, it’s a tough act to follow!
You’ve wrote a really good post there. I’m glad Tia linked to you
Tia, Thanks so much for including me in your Follow Friday! I’m honored to be included. This will keep me busy for a while checking out the other blogs here. I’ll definitely check out Kiesha’s contest too.
Thanks for the wonderful Friday links, I’m looking forward to the 1-year giveaway.
Looks to be some awesome links. Thanks for sharing.
I must have been pretty bad about getting around this week. The majority of these I haven’t seen yet. I have some catching up to do.
I enjoy reading your suggestions. I even follow some of the same circles you do. I read socialmouth and read writeweb on a regular basis. Between all of these great sites, I think that I have learned alot about what is good in order to make a little off the internet. I really think that is what all of us are doing now, trying to learn as much as we can to make our livings.
Tia you’ve only 1 week, you can’t be everywhere all the time (my problem lately too).
Small but a juice repertoire, that I’ll eat it in next days
Many thanks for including my weekly roundup!
Cheers and excellent weekend for you,
Gera
I am signed up for Kiesha’s contest, and I will have to check out ThesisAwesome, I still haven’t decided if I am going to purchase the Thesis or Genesis theme but may want to affiliate it.
Hey Tia,
Another awesome roundup. I love the jean’s article “7 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Let Awesome Blogs Keep You From Achieving Stardom” She always come up with awesome articles.

Thanks for including Carolina’s great guest post with these other stellar links. And I’m glad to hear you took a couple of days off too!
Hey Jean,
You’re welcome! And yes, it was sooo nice to take a break for a little bit.
Thanks Tia for including me in your FollowFriday list. Wow, I just checked my blog and saw the link so came over before I get some sleep. It is late evening here in Perth so time for bed. Was a nice surprise and very unexpected.
Patricia Perth Australia
You’re welcome, Patricia! You’ve been a great part of this blog lately. And I’m sorry I haven’t gotten to your blog as often as I’d like; I love lavender, especially from Seattle!
