Hi there, I noticed that you are linking to Sharedcount.com on your article http://plannersdilemma.misentropy.com/ . As that service is being discontinued, perhaps it could be useful to replace the link for Sharescount.com, a new working alternative. Keep up the great work!
You can do better if you plan ahead. Hence I am reading some Essay For Me reviews before I hire their services. Planning makes your work easier, it patches and cements those patches along the way.
