It’s neat the kinds of blogs that I can run into in a day of helping WordPress.com users.
So if you ever wanted to see a collection of Missed Connections posts on Craigslist specifically dealing with Walmart, this WordPress.com blog has got you covered because the author is collecting the best of them so you don’t have to.
