Five Star Friday: Edition #4
Twitter, my beloved Twitter, has been completely b0rked for a good part of the day, which in turn b0rks up Five Star Friday's works. Grrr. Every time that "500 Internal Server Error" message shows up, I feel like Twitter is giving me the finger.Still, despite the fact that Twitter is a major part of the weblog entry submission process, you excellent people managed to ship over 37 weblog entries that you deemed worthy of being listed here on Five Star Friday. I do believe we did overcome.
Thanks once again to all you readers out there and to all the writers and the generous people who submitted links for this week's edition. You are all what we're here for.
If you find your website mentioned in this list or want to help spread the word about Five Star Friday, feel free to grab a badge for your website. Also, remember to keep an eye out over the coming week for weblog entries that outdo themselves and submit a weblog entry for next week's edition. Don't be shy!

You've Got 'Em, And I Want 'Em
This is Wednesday? Really? That just seems nigh on impossible, but if that's what the my computer says, I'll roll with it.Wednesday means that it is time for the call for submissions for the next edition of Five Star Friday. Not that submissions haven't already been rolling in, because they have, and there are some truly enjoyable posts being added to Friday's fourth edition for everyone to read in two days time, and by some, I mean TEN.
Five Star Friday wants more than ten. Five Star Friday wants FIFTY. (After fifty, my will dribbles out the ends of my numb fingers, never mind the bloodshot eyes, but seriously, I love doing this, because you are aces. That's right: YOU ARE ACES).
So, if you've read an awesome weblog entry this week, or ever, check out how to submit a weblog entry, and send in the url. It's good for your karma.

Call For Submissions
The third edition of Five Star Friday is two days away, and I am excited by the great weblog entries that have already been submitted. I have read some truly sterling material from weblogs and authors of whom I had not before heard.Seriously, and I am not being cheezy or hyperbolic here, I am moved by the generosity people have shown through sharing others' work, and what hit me this week as I have been working on the third edition is that this is going to continue. You would think that I might have realized that a little earlier when I bought the domain name or designed the whole freaking website or put Five Star Friday on Twitter or set up its own e-mail address, but no, I did not.
I think it took me so long to realize that this was going to happen every week, because it took me a couple of editions of Five Star Friday to realize exactly how reader-driven this website is and will continue to be. I may have taken care of the aesthetics, and I stick the links into entries, but it is all of you, both those who submit weblog entries and those who come by to enjoy them, that drive the content and community.
Imagine now that I am sending you one of those glossy cards with a soft-focus photograph of a rose on it and big, gold script that says Thank You. Awwwwwww.
This entry is starting to make me feel like I am coughing up hairballs, so I will move on to the call for submissions. As it has been, and as it will always be, it's Wednesday, and I want you to send me the URLs to particular weblog entries via Twitter that do the weblog world proud. Check out "How To Submit A Weblog Entry", have at it with the links, and subscribe to Five Star Friday to keep up with good writing.

Five Star Friday: Edition #2
Five Star Friday has found a home! So far, everything is working on this website but the links along the top. I am sure that those will function shortly once my domain host makes the proper connections.I really want to thank everyone for making this as much fun as it is. You people? You people are brilliant.
And without further ado, here are the weblog entries that have been deemed superior and duly submitted by readers for readers:
