Bookmark Collector

I’m still catching up on the posts I’ve held off due to the convention. I’m sorry I missed updating during this week because there were a LOT of announcements for the Bookmark Convention that I was unaware of. We received a lot of unsolicited publicity.

So, here is the week’s worth of bookmark related links for February 6 through February 12.

Enjoy!
