(I shared a larger number than usual good resources in August, so divided my “Best Posts” list into two parts. This is Part Two)

I regularly highlight my picks for the most useful posts for each month — not including “The Best…” lists. I also use some of them in a more extensive monthly newsletter I send-out. You can see back issues of those newsletters here and my previous Best Posts of the Month at Websites Of The Month.

These posts are different from the ones I list under the monthly “Most Popular Blog Posts.” Those are the posts the largest numbers of readers “clicked-on” to read. I have to admit, I’ve been a bit lax about writing those posts, though.

This month’s list is longer than usual. In fact,  I shared so many excellent resources this month that there are too many for one post, so this is Part Two.

Here are some of the posts I personally think are the best, and most helpful, ones I’ve written during this past month (not in any order of preference):
