#MondayMashup 2015 Volume 3

A few weeks back, I blogged about some of the things going on in my life, and trying to juggle blogging into the equation. Now that things are better, or more like, I’ve found the strength through family issues to get back to the grindstone, some things like #MondayMashup are coming back.

I still read a lot around the blogosphere, but I’ve only been slacking on putting my weekly roundup. Just in case, if you’re new to Blondish.net, #MondayMashup is a roundup of the most recent news in Blogging, Social Media, SEO, and Web Design. This is to coordinate with the categories of this site. WordPress is missing from the list because I usually run a #WordPressWednesday roundup series too.
