I noticed that two links aren’t working. Lightening’s post, as well as Planning Queen’s post. Both links don’t work.
Lin, I’ve fixed Lightening’s link (that was me) but Planning Queen’s permalinks don’t work for some reason. I couldn’t even get to her contact page.
Hi Jen, I had a difficult time changing servers last week, hence the links not working, but all is well now though :). I really enjoyed the carnival and came across a number of blogs that I hadn’t visited before. My RSS reader is getting very full! Thanks for hosting. Cheers PQ
