Dynamics GP Blog Carnival – I

In the first week of August, I made a new initiative of announcing the Blog Carnival that will be published on September 3rd 2009. As I stated in that post, the idea is to effectively bring various interesting articles from bloggers blogging on MS Dynamics GP in Blog carnivals format. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive a single submission from anyone in the Dynamics GP Blog Network except few submissions that are irrelevant to Dynamics GP subject. Probably, not everyone understood it right or the original post making the announcement for submissions lost enough visibility. In order to keep this idea alive, I’m going ahead publishing this carnival choosing the articles from Dynamics GP Blogs network myself. Here is the Dynamics GP Blog Carnival – I dedicated to all of my blog readers.
