Okay, normally, I don’t use my blog as a platform to talk directly to my readers, but this post is a little different. It’s a Monday, so I thought I’d change it up a bit. So, here’s a letter…to you!
Dearest Readers,
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed the BlogRush “From the Blogosphere” badge on my sidebar. It’s a free thing I joined, where they stream blogs into your widget and in turn, your blog is streamed into other peoples’ widgets. (Okay, that is definitely a sentence I never foresaw in my future!!) 
I like it because it allows me to find blogs that I may have not found otherwise, and I’m always looking for new blogs to read.
It’s also cool because it brings new readers to this site, too. It’s a win-win for everyone.
If you’ve got ads on your site, new readers are a goal of yours. (Speaking of which, I’ve heard through the grapevine that if you have certain versions of Internet Explorer, you can’t see all my Google Ads on the left sidebar. I use Mozilla Firefox, so everything appears just fine for me… Edited to add: A Google Ad Tech Person just told me that they’re aware of the issue and gave me a work-around. I think it’s working now!) Personally, I like new readers who comment so that I can go check out their blogs, and that helps fulfill my obsession with collecting blogs. It’s a vicious and wonderful cycle, actually. 
If you’re interested in learning more about it or signing up your blog, just click on the “add your blog posts free” part of the button and check it out.
All this being said, someone I found via BlogRush has said some really nice things about me on her blog. I found her via BlogRush, and laughed through an entire post of hers. I commented on her site, immediately added her blog to my GoogleReader and my Blogroll, and the rest is history.
You should check her out for yourself: Sleeping Mommy. And, not just because she said nice stuff about me.
Well, I gotta run. I hear the Force of Nature awakening…and I have way too much to do today. It’s going to be a long week, and it just started.
Sincerely,
Momma
