But this year is a little different.  I’ll be leading a panel on “Making Money with Your Blog,” with several expert bloggers: Deborah Ng of Blogworld, Julia Scott of BargainBabe.com, and Lindsay Maines of Rock and Roll Mama.

Just wanted to mention this in case my blog posts or Facebook interactions are a little less than normal.  Daily deals will be difficult to pull together on my early morning travel days, but you can always click through the deals from the day before to find that latest deal!

Wish me luck!
