Hope you've enjoyed meeting and mingling with all the literary and journalistic geniuses we've invited to this party--including all the famous ones you've met in the lists above! But the gathering wouldn't be complete without including a fellow blogger who generously offers advice to other bloggers on how making top 100 lists can help simplify and improve our blogging and our blogs.
From Productivity 501 blog:

And for all of us writers, whether or not we blog, the following book, available at Amazon.Com, can give us a whole slew of ways--100, to be exact (how appropriate is that?)--to help make our writing everything it can be.

It hardly seems as if I could have written that many posts already! Though a few of them were extremely short, and one would almost feel they shouldn't be counted, many others were so long that they more than made up for it! So, I guess it all balances out in the end!
Thanks so much for your good wishes, encouragement, and support! Don't know where I'd be without it!
Sincerely,
Jeanne

Great to see you! 100-lists certainly do fit right in with the 100th post theme! And boy, what a job it was to track them down and prepare the links! But, my readers are worth it! And, after all, you only write your hundredth post once--thank goodness!
Thanks very much for your good wishes and support! I really appreciate both. And I'm honored that my post is one you'd want to "waste time on" at work!
Thanks, again!

Thanks for stopping by to congratulate me on reaching the 100-post mark in the blogging marathon! I so much appreciate all of you who have done so!
I'll definitely do my best to make the next 100 helpful enough and enlightening enough to be worth the read!
Glad you like the lists! They are actually quite fascinating, since each one offers a somewhat different perspective and/or focus than the others.
Thanks again for the visit!
