Hi guys! Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was pretty good but quite busy. Friday and Saturday were spent mostly out of the house – played basketball, went shopping, bought groceries, went to church, meetings, choir practice and hang out at a friend’s house. Sunday was spent resting at home. My wife and I watched the movie The Proposal, which we both had fun watching. Wasn’t able to post this edition of the Weekend Roundup on time because I was resting my right hand. It started hurting last Friday and I noticed that it only hurt when I tried to use the computer and the mice. I’m thinking that it could be an early sign of carpal tunnel syndrome, so I decided to give it a rest and let my hand recover. I think that decision was good because the hand (wrist area) isn’t hurting anymore. I’ll have to monitor this and do some precautionary measures so that it doesn’t develop into carpal tunnel syndrome.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this edition of the Weekend Roundup even if its a bit late.

@Sanjeev – Hi there my friend! Glad to have you back here. Hope you had a good time during the festival season.
Yeah, I’ve read about that “Instant Weekly Roundup” plugin. I’ll take a look at it and try it out. Btw, I still have to make a review of your SmoothSlider plugin. :D
Hey Jaypee, Nice roundup. Actually I missed some of your posts because of the festival season going on in my country but because of this roundup I went thru some nice posts published in last week.
I released a new plugin named “Instant Weekly Roundup” for creating roundups in seconds with lot many features. You can check that on WordPress Plugin directory. I hope that will help you in publishing next roundup on your blog.
