http://queryshark.blogspot.com is the best query resource I’ve come across. Years of archives to go through and use to perfect your own query! 🙂 I don’t think I’ve seen you link to her before, so I figured I’d drop a line.
LOVE Query Shark! Thanks for sharing the link Jule! 😀
Love that ‘modernized Hogwarts’ article – especially all the Facebook pages! Awesome 😀
SO GOOD, right? :p Loved that article too! 😀
Ahhh I think the spreadhseet just goes to another link for the internet harry potter.
Although if it’s for the fifth one I’ve seen it and it’s awesome.:P
Ah boo. The link for that doesn’t work anymore. I guess they don’t want people seeing it 😛
Hmm the link for the spreadsheet’s the same as the Hogwarts with internet.
But oh man those Facebook pages just MADE my day, ahahaha! ❤
The link for J.K.’s spreadsheet leads to the wrong page. Other than that, I love all of these links ^_^
