Blogathon Roll Call, Take Two

May 1 is here! Michelle Rafter, Organizer Extraordinaire of the Blogathon, has provided us with a list of participating bloggers, more than 100 strong! Some of these names I recognize from last year's blogathon or from Freelance Success (where I found out about all of this in the first place), but many are unfamiliar. It looks like it's going to be a busy month of blog reading as well as writing. Here they are, my compatriots in craziness. (List updated on May 2)
