Happy New Year and a fun little challenge

Hello, big bad writing world and fellow blogging buddies!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know it's been three months since I last posted, but I was busy wrapping up my 4th (and last) semester of school to receive my Graduate-level Certificate as a Web Developer. Everything was due December 4th. Then I took the month of December off to focus on family and the holidays. It's been a long journey. I've learned a lot. And I still have a long journey ahead of me. There are always new things to learn. This year, I plan on unveiling a lot of fun, new exciting things related to writing, including my new web design company coming soon.

But first, a fun little challenge for New Year's. I just want to see if I can create my own linky list. If you want to help me test it out, it will be fun. The challenge is twofold: 1) to see if we can all make the technology work properly, and 2) to see who can make the cutest, most colorful "Happy New Year!" phrase. Mine above, is quite plain. Or how about this one:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Anyway, it's mostly something for a little bit of fun while testing out technology. Thanks to all who feel like participating!

Here's the linky. Just type your name, blog, etc. below as prompted, and create a blogpost with your creative New Year's post, then link it to the linky below. Thanks!
