My eyes were on my laptop practically all last weekend, working on my business plan and website redesign simultaneously.  (Both have completed first drafts!  Check out the site <a href=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, if you&#8217;re inclined.)  I would take a break from my work and check on any interesting tweets.  Sweet Motherload.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAfter many random, but inspired tweets, creative genius Victoria Smith of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgirlbybay.com\/\">sfgirlbybay<\/a> has organized a &#8216;blog it forward&#8217; mashup of 300 bloggers to write about what inspires them.  I&#8217;m proud and humbled to be among those 300 in the first of hopefully many &#8216;blog it forward&#8217; mashups.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe whole thing kicks off on Wednesday, February 10.  How it will work is laid out by our very organized host, Victoria, in her post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgirlbybay.com\/2010\/02\/04\/heads-up-bloggers\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.  There will be a separate page added to her site on Monday just for the mashup, so check back after the weekend.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOh, and I have to mention that the lovely badge above was created by Ez from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creaturecomfortsblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creature Comforts<\/a>.
