A Great Journey in 30 Days!
It's March 30th, which marks day 30 for me in the "30 Hubs in 30 Days Hub Challenge".
Although I missed the 12:00 pm (PT) Deadline for the HubPages "Know It All Contest" I am publishing this as the final Hub for the 30/30 Challenge and would like to share my experiences with other Hubbers!
When I decided that I was going to compete in the Contest while completing the 30/30 Challenge at the same time, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into! I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot along the way.
Here are just some of the ways I benefited from taking the Challenge and Submitting Entries to the March 2012 "Know It All Contest":
