New Feature for Mariuca!

When I set my mind to focus, I am amazed at the things I can accomplish! The non-regular blogger in me has written 19 new posts for February, which was no easy feat mind you!

Firstly, I was occupied with a number of concerns last month. In my offline world, things were not going as smoothly as I had hoped. For reasons I shall not disclose here, I was quite down in the dumps for a huge part of the month. I tried keeping busy and focused; by concentrating on my work instead, which helped. I managed to complete several website hosting assignments for my regular clients. In fact, many tasks last month were focused on the topic of affordable web hosting, aside from the usual banking jobs I receive. Yesterday especially, was a hectic day. I was bombarded with 4 new copywriting jobs and spent the whole day and night working on them. Now that it's March, I am looking forward to get my creative juices running again with some creative print ad jobs perhaps? Last month, I received mostly translation jobs.

So work kept me busy offline but at the same time, I found myself having so much to say to my online readers. Like I mentioned earlier, I was going through a posting frenzy; 19 posts in the love month of February? WOW! I checked this number against the total posts I wrote in February last year and it showed 20! I guess there's just something about February that gets me going, hence the nonstop posting. Let's see how I perform in March shall we? ;)

Now, I'd like to bring your attention to yet another new feature I am introducing here at Wishing on a Falling Star. As you already know, I have been giving out free linky love to my first commenter on any post title ending with a star *. In fact, the newly-launched First Commenter Club is receiving good response and there is still time to join if you like.

Beginning this month however, I will give credit to my First Commenter on non star posts as well! How you ask? Well, your blog will NOT receive free linky love for being first to comment on the given post BUT you will be counted towards receiving the FOC Ad in my sidebar + 1000 EC credits I will be giving away at the end of every month to my Top First Commenter. In other words, the person with the most number of FC wins for both star AND non star posts will now receive due recognition. With this new introduction, my First Commenter on all posts, regardless if it's a star post or otherwise, stands to WIN here at Wishing on a Falling Star YAY! :)

I do hope you will find this new feature as exciting as I do and we will start with this very post, the first one for me in March. Have a good weekend and thanks so much for reading! :)

PS. Special thanks to HaaziQ for inspiring me to acknowledge my Top First Commenter with this new feature. :)
