Lima,thank you very much for this lovely comment.It is the most beautiful comment that someone ever left for my blog.
You are not wrong about the entries you find here.I do pick them up carefuly and with a thought that anyone who'll come here will also have some use of them.
I am happy that something in here is useful to you and i am proud to have impressed you.

Please let me know the link of your blog.I would like to read it.It's no problem if is not in English.I can read Spanish if that's the language you write or i can translate it.

Hi,
This is not a comment for this post, this is a comment for your blog.
As I did not found any other link where I could send a message, I put it here, hoping you Carol, can read it. :-)

First I would like to congratulate you for this blog. In my like I always seek to learn things and the value of knowledge and discovering things and I always value people who do that, like you. Life, in my view, is discovering things, like a child that is always trying to know how things work.

I realized that not many people do this actually, so, that's why I value this when I find it and here, in your blog, it is clear to me the kind of effort you have done. This blog always reveals to me the way you care for things to be well done and your intelligence and sense of clarity choosing the most pratical and direct way of doing things. Of course the pleasure of discovering things and sharing are very clear also.

I can be wrong, but no blog have impressed me so much as yours.

I have also a blog, but not in English.

I don't know why I am contacting you. I think I am trying to thank you for this blog.

Those blog directories aren't so useful to me.I have submited my blog to few good ones and don't really get traffic from there.
But maybe for some people is working.I don't know.
I have lots of google hits for example and Stumbles.

I totally agree with the ideas you have mentioned. But I got another suggestion for bloggers to find blogs that are of similar topics and ask for link exchange. They could go to blog directories (e.g. http://blogannounce.info) and then go to the category their blog belongs to and then visit other blogs. Post comments and then contact the blog owner. I like this method because similar blogs tend to attract the same targeted groups and thus are more likely to lead referrals. And by the way, bloggers could submit their blogs to directories and get more traffic.
