Hi folks! Welcome to the 113th edition of the Weekend Roundup. I wasn’t able to publish it earlier than I wanted to but nevertheless it’s still on time and not late like last week’s edition. As usual, I hope that you folks enjoy reading this week’s edition of the Weekend Roundup and find something useful or interesting from the articles and links that I shared. If you do, please do share it with your friends via Twitter, Facebook or other favorite social networks.

For the regular readers here on JaypeeOnline and those who are into blog giveaways, I’ll be hosting my first giveaway for 2011 next month. It involves some premium WordPress themes from a relatively new site/provider so watch out for it.

Weekend Roundup #112

Jaypee Habaradas — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:57:06 +0000

Hello everyone! Pardon the late edition of the Weekend Roundup. I wasn’t able to publish it early because I woke up late yesterday (had to take someone to the airport at 4 AM) and spent time with the family the rest of the day. Anyways, hope you still enjoy reading this edition of the Weekend Roundup and find something useful or interesting from the articles/links that I’ve shared.

On another note, as some of you know I’ve been sick the past few days but now I’m starting to fell better and hope to fully recover in the next few days.
