It\u2019s the start of a new week so it\u2019s time for the weekly Mash Up. It\u2019s been a few weeks since the last Mash Up<\/a>. I had hoped to share a Mash Up, last week but between family coming into town the week before and being sick for the last six days, it was a little hard to do anything other than work and few other projects that I had to get finished. So sadly the articles had to be cut down until I had enough energy to write and create new content. <\/p>\n

The Mash UP<\/h2>\n

This week\u2019s mash up is a little shorter than I normally like to share and you will notice a bit of a layout change to the way the links are styled. I have more changes to the mash up plan and I will explain what those changes are and how I ended styling the links as I did in the near future.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s mash up has topics in blogging, copyrighting, design, freelance, and marketing. All great articles, all of these articles were from my Google Reader feed and were probably tweeted out in the last two weeks. I tweet out a lot more tweets than just these, but these I thought were the most helpful and interesting. So if you want more great links about new media or want to talk about some of these topics, don\u2019t forget to follow me on Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, if you want to be part of the mash up, make sure to start commenting and leaving comments. I find a lot of great articles from those leaving comments and using the CommentLuv feature at the bottom of the comment section. <\/p>\n
