Hi folks and welcome to the 174th edition of the Weekend Roundup. I know I’ve been away for a long time and haven’t posted any updates. I’ve really been wanting to go back to blogging and publish something but I just couldn’t find the time and the inspiration to do it. Well, I’m glad that I was able to overcome that obstacle which is why I’m publishing this Weekend Roundup. This is a small step that will help me get things rolling. I have a few posts lined up (including a few overdue product reviews) which I’ll publish in the next few days.
Regarding the $10,500 Thanksgiving Giveaway, my apologies if it didn’t push through. I didn’t expect or consider certain factors that made it fail. There were a lot of participants but unfortunately, most of them didn’t follow the procedure which led to only a handful of valid entries. In spite of what happened, I’ve learned some useful things from it so I can do a better job next time. I’ll try to contact the sponsors and see if they’re still willing to proceed with the giveaway and if there’s enough time, I’ll open it up again for a new batch of participants.
That’s all for now. Hope you enjoy reading the stuff I’ve shared in this roundup. Have a good weekend!
