Today I am turning Tune Up Tuesday on its head a little! Instead of giving you some tune up tips today, I am seeking some tips from you dear readers! Let me provide a bit of background before I launch into my main topic.

It's Friday, which means that it is time to announce our Star of the Week! As you may know, we are still in the early days of this project, which launched almost exactly 6 months ago. Because of this, I have been the person who has been providing the vast majority of the nominations for the Star of the Week award. From the beginning, however, my hope has always been that readers would want to send in their own nominations for Star of the Week. I am SO pleased to say that th
