To find out why it is VERY important for us to continue to link to each other, please read this article that I wrote back in April of 2007. I am going to be re-writing this as a ME Blogger article in the near future, but it will give you some idea as to the mechanics of HOW we become heard in the Internet World…
I’ve also decided to add a “Friends of the ME Bloggers” part of our campaign… There are so many GREAT bloggers that are affiliated with us in some way and want to be a part of this, but don’t “fit the mold”… More on this in the future!
So…please let me know what you think (good or bad!) about this or anything that we talk about here!
