As the Blog Off II Contest comes to a close I must to say that I really enjoyed myself, I met wonderful people and said what I needed to say in a general way, for the average person. I love to write about mid-american, a Norman Rockwell kind of feeling. Maybe, that is why I love to travel by train, it is so enjoyable, you might sit next to a salesman, farmer, housewife, executive, that's scared of flying, like me. It is perhaps hard for me to close this chapter to say good bye to the contest. It sure helps to be motivated! Many of my fellow writers, wrote about how to move around the web, channels, search engines, tags, and all the different sites we write at and we all need to learn to market ourselves. I want to thank them all, I have learned so much from everyone. Thank you to the judges and our fine leaders, Andrew and Conrad, thank you for sharing this exciting opportunity with me and I wish you all a successful and fulfilling life. I know we well always meet on the web, we all run in the same circles. I feel blessed to be part of The Blog Off II Contest and to be able to express myself, my passions and my thoughts. Good night to all and to all a good night. And, a Merry Christmas to you all.
Wish you all true success,
Darlene Sabella

Darlene:
Thank you for writing exactly what I am feeling today. That was well said and heartfelt. The Blog-Off has been a real pleasure. I've enjoyed learning more about each contestant with every post. Clearly, we are surrounded by talented colleagues, and hopefully, new friends. All of this has been rewarding. I've learned a great deal. Thanks for pointing that out so eloquently here.
