Addition and Deduction

Maybe I changed the settings on my blog. I decided to do some reading and found the place to put the "Edit HTML" option back, and low and behold it worked. Good thing because I'm looking for things that work today. Its a good thing I didn't let on how frustrated I was getting.

I've been surfing blogs in search of some fresh reading matter. Things on this side of the monitor are getting more and more bizarre, so I need more distraction, and I lost some good ones this week. I found a few things of interest. You'll have to remember I'm fairly new to the blog world as a reader and writer. It takes a lot of time to find things worth reading in blogs. I admit it, I'm picky, but its not really in a snobbish sort of way. Just like the first rule of Journalism, if you don't grab my attention right away I'm probably not going to go rooting around through your blog looking for something interesting.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about Bored Housewife I like reading her blog. She actually got me started on the search for blogs that I might like to visit more than once. She has a feature called "Braless Tuesdays" which is kind of funny and innocent, but definitely Braless so its not false advertising at all. I came across referer.org on her site. I might have heard of it before, but I can't recall, but today I'm adding their service to the blog. If you don't know what it is feel free to click the link, it won't take you anywhere that can hurt your computer or tell either of us anything about each other that we don't already know. I used to work with a woman who was really into the web, and web design. She used to say that adding counters and services like referer.org to a site or blog like mine only made it look more pathetic. She was beautiful, talented, intelligent, and as shallow as a dime. Catherine, I'm adding this for you *wink.

I guess I'm also updating the template today. I've mentioned a lot of blogs that I've never added to my links list. I'm particularly concerned about A few drops of rain... . A great poet, and writer, but his last few poems seemed to be saying he was terribly depressed and would commit suicide on February 28th. Since his profile says he lives in India, I'm not sure what to do about that, but mentioning it here might help.

If you're into books Bibliolitry is a very charming blog by a school teacher. Its basically book reviews. She's also a member of the same webring my Geocities is on, which was supposed to bring lots of traffic to my web pages but has failed to do so. Another great reason to link to her.

Green Chameleon: I don't know that I "believe in" those test, but I do find that some are a lot more accurate than others, kind of like horoscopes. I prefer Blogger over Yahoo too.
