Thanks to everyone who took part in the poll earlier this week to help me decide what to do with II over the summer. The results were almost dead even to a) not blog at all until fall, b) have many guest bloggers, and c) blog beforehand and set their publish dates. So, I am going to take your advice and combine b and c. (I don’t think I could just walk away from this blog for three months, but I’m happy to see that my dedicated readers would return regardless!) So, if you are interested in writing a guest post, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
