Our favorite posts from the 2010 WordCount Blogathon

Throughout May, I’ve run Around the Blogathon posts on Saturdays to showcase some of that week’s best, most interesting posts from writers and bloggers participating in our month-long event. If you’ve been following along, you have to agree we’ve seen some amazing work.

Since this is the last Saturday of the month – and of the blogathon – I thought I’d switch things up a bit. I asked all 110+ blogathoners to share the one post they’re proudest of having written during May. This was a last-minute venture, so this isn’t a complete list – not all of the bloggers had time to respond (or maybe they were already out of town for the long weekend).
