I’ve spent too much time on social networks this morning that I’d better keep this short and get stuff done to enjoy the long weekend. Besides, lots of great reads this week. With a longer weekend for most of us, I figure you wouldn’t mind the extra reading. Worthy stuff. Have a whiz bang fourth!

Thank you Meryl for compiling the great list of resources. I’m still working my way through the 300 resources for WordPress. And thank you kindly for the shoutout for the vector graphics resource.
