Are you there, Technorati? It’s me, Barbara

September 23, 2007 by Barbara.

With apologies to Judy Blume and her fabulous Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret.

I started writing this blog as a way of archiving the stories I was writing to send to far flung family members. At first, I told no one, left no comments on other people’s blogs with a link back and generally tried to find my voice. In those early days I couldn’t decide if I should be writing myself into the stories in the third person or remaining a narrator, writing missives to Reid, referring to Ken as Daddy and other friends and relatives by their relationship to Reid, and that sort of thing. Over time, I decided I wanted to join the conversation and invite others in, too. I’m not all the way where I need to be yet, I forget to ask questions to inspire comments but there is always hope.

I’m looking for traffic, too. Dani at Postcards from the Mothership is likewise seeking some validation from Technorati and Google since she lots moved her blog onto her own domain. She proposed a link-building exercise and I said, “count me in.” A few other likeable ladies expressed interest in a little link love, too. I invite you to visit their sites and if *you* would like to feel some link love, just leave a comment.
