Things do not always go to plan. . .
No matter how well we plan ahead sometimes things just don’t go as we’d hoped. And that’s what has happened which is why I’m sending an apology and asking for your patience and understanding.
Let me explain; when I started this blog I made a commitment to you, my reader, to make a daily (well, week-daily) post. When I had days out of the office scheduled I simply wrote up the posts in advance and set a date and time for publishing. That way I kept my promise and you got your daily dose of my thoughts.
If you are a regular reader you may have noticed I’ve missed a few days this week. The reason for that is a completely unexpected absence from my office (actually I’m still away). That is because my Father has had a sudden, serious stroke which the Doctors do not expect him to recover from.
I’m sure you appreciate my family must take precedence. So, please forgive the erratic posts that may happen over the next few weeks. I promise my usual daily post will resume as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Carol,
I descovered your blog from Carnival of Inspiration and Motivation. The problem you are facing may happen to any one and I think it will not have much effect with your readers even if you post after some days. You have cleary explained the reason.
Anyway, help your father in his hard time.
The Internet Marketing :: SEO Tips! - Carnival has been posted as scheduled.
Yes, it’s best to be with your father at this time, for sure. don’t worry about us, we’ll still be here!

Interesting post. reminds me of consulting, when I would tell people they can have fast, cheap and fault free - but they can only choose 2 of the 3.
I have a blog carnival submission software that I use. I made a list of 61 blog carnivals that are business, internet and blogging related, Mail me a blog you want submitted and I’ll send you to 61 carnivals in about 1 minute. Just need the URL you want submitted and an email address.
I stumbled it and included it in my blog carnival.
