A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don't have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I'm away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

    A great list of participants. I love learning from my colleagues.

    Thanks for hosting such a great community of professionals. Happy New Year! I added my banner to my blogs. =)

      Thank you for your support. I was pleased to include your name in this post not once but twice!

    You’re always so supportive of our industry — you make it so easy to share useful content!

    (I think you used to have a page that linked to ALL of your “star” bloggers in each category. Does that still exist?)

    • Janet Barclay on January 7, 2025 at 8:38 am

      Yes, it does – there’s a link in the sidebar but I meant to add one to the post too! I’ve added it now but to save you looking for it, it’s https://organizedassistant.com/pobc-star-bloggers/.

      Thanks for your kind words!

      • Julie Bestry Julie Bestry on January 7, 2025 at 3:19 pm

        Doh! I assumed that was a sidebar link to this post (for people on other pages). I shouldn’t make assumptions. Thanks!

        • Janet Barclay on January 7, 2025 at 3:23 pm

          And I shouldn’t assume that people will look at the sidebar! Especially on phones, where it bumps down to the bottom.
