I promised. So I deliver. After all, Derek Shepherd said ... Oh well, I can't remember anything he said that fits the situation. Let's just get on with it, shall we? I am taking My Alexa rank to the next level with Blogchatter and we have to read four blogs every day as part of the mandatory activities. As a result of this, I discovered some wonderful new blogs which I absolutely loved spending time on. Unfortunately, since these blogs are not hosted on Wordpress, the Reblog button won't help. And while they are part of the 'From Around the World' feature I use to feature new blogs, you would have to visit them individually to read their posts. I'm sure you wouldn't mind doing that.

We either feel validated in what we believe or are forced to question.
