Blog Bling

This probably won't make much sense to those who read it through a feed. You'll need to visit the web page at http://www.writers-edge.info to see the Blog Bling I'm talking about. That's my term (remember, you saw it here first) for most of the entries you see in the left column: badges from services, directories, groups and activities in which I participate, and a few selected ads. They come and go as I play with the page and/or links go bad. The latest addition is A Word A Day, from Wordsmith. It's tucked between the Archives and the Honorable Mentions list. Another is the blog ad at the top of the column, a little experiment in seducing more readers to visit. At the very bottom is the on-again, off-again visitors' locations service from Hitmaps--finally, someone in Africa stopped by! Some prefer a more minimalist appearance for their blogs. I can't resist the girl geek mind candy. What the heck? We all have our addictions. Pass me another piece of bling.
