I believe education should have a subtopic under it. Because i heard of a blog that talks about students experiences in their different private universities. its http://www.thelatpus.com so i don’t think education only covers the serious aspects like registration or admission.
Nice one @Mary… It could just be anything then. I totally agree with you.
Kudos! I think that link is incomplete without finance and many blogs that teach others to make money online.
Moreover, entertainment I thought should be number 1 we’re given to it.
How about finance, many people want to learn one way or the other to start making money online. I think this should be among that list as well.
You are absolutely correct @Adeniyi, I am thinking the topic is already over-flogged except for those that have something quite fascinating and new to share. All the same thanks for dropping in here.
