Last month, Parajunkee's View wrote a great post on a replacement for the GFC — if you're looking for an alternative. As Parajunkee points out, however, the only way this replacement will work is if we buy into it. The alternative is Linky Tools — created by the geniuses who brought us Mr. Linky! Again, this is only pertinent if you are concerned about numbers and I don't want to turn this into a "numbers conversation" — I'm only trying to relay information and tools to you that you may not be aware of.
These Linky Tools work very similarly to the GFC except that everyone is sort of starting from scratch (which sucks). If you're looking for more information make sure to stop by Parajunkee's View to get the full scoop!
