Great compilation, Miyuru! I’m sure to add three or four to my ‘Following’ list.
I’m curious about how many will follow back. (Good future research topic.)
StockC, I considered many factors, including friendliness when selecting them. So, if you talk nice, most of them will follow back for sure !
While Heather does a fantastic job, I can assure you she is by no means the only female FA blogger. There’s been quite a few before & I’m sure many will follow.
Unless of course you were just being cute
Just realised you’re yet another one ! Lol ! Of course, you could have linked to your Twitter profile ( if you’ve got one ) and let us know !
