The sad thing is that I recognize a lot of those post titles. I spend WAAAY too much time surfing the blogs and ignoring the dustbunnies.
Thanks for the visit back Kristi.
I was thinking of doing either a post or a blogroll on (IMHO) the best dofollow blogs but with my type of blog I’m not sure that would be helpful. LOL I’m afraid of causing folks too much spam and headaches.

Thanks for this vast resource of worth while websites to visit. I’m especially interested in the social media/networking ones.
