Well, what do you think of my new look, the blog template that is? I think I needed a bit of a facelift. Can't do anything about my facial features at 59.
I am in the midst of formulating a Blogroll, a compilation of all the kind bloggers who have paid attention to my lowly blog the last 2 and 1/2 years. It has grown to about 400 readers on RSS with a host of others who visit on occasion. As you know, I am celebrating the milestone of 1,000 posts.
I want to pay tribute to the thoughtful people who have made comments to my blog, who have placed quoteflections on their sidebar, who are just generally good people with thoughtful perspectives.
Tomorrow the beginning of my Blogroll will appear. I invite you to leave me an email or comment here about your desire to join the community. paulhco(at)gmail(dot)com
I believe in reciprocity. Join my Google Friend Connect, make comments to my blog occasionally, get my attention with your great blog and your affinity to my open perspective. Then I will recognize you with a presence on my sidebar.
For those interested in history, the Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty from 1854-1864 was negotiated by the British on behalf of the Canadians and other British North American colonists. In 1854, the Americans agreed to eliminate a 21% tariff on natural resource imports. In exchange, the Americans were given fishing rights off the east coast. The treaty also granted a few navigation rights to each others lakes and rivers.
I'm practising reciprocity here too with all the great blogs out there. Let's connect.
