A good blogging friend of mine, Shaun, has decided to focus on his studies and has sold his blog, ShaunLow.com! After spending most of yesterday out of the house and not getting a chance to sit down to blog myself I read his post. I am really amazed and proud that he has taken such a huge step to insure that he will succeed in college. He realized that trying to do both would equal not doing excellent at either. I think that is really great choice and I want to wish him the best of luck with school. I will however kick his butt personally Gnome style if he does not comment occasionally and let us know what he is up to. So goodluck Shaun, you will be missed and you are welcome here at BlueJar at anytime!

This week there was a huge amount of comments from the group writing project final list being posted, but I can only list the top 10 (used to be 6, but why not 10!) commentors of the week. Here are this weeks top commentors posts, a lot about promoting your blog and a few fun ones to insure you laugh a little:
