Look at 3 blogs and leave your link-- I know it's really hard to get traffic to your blogs, so I would like to try something that will hopefully be easier. Ok, here's how it goes. Everybody who wants to participate posts their blog link (only 1 link per post) AND visits the 3 blog links posted above him/her post. Only 3 links, guys and gals--it shouldn't be too difficult :). You can repost your blog link if you want to, just remember to again, visit the 3 links above you. Ok, I'll start. My blog is http://blogchex.com/theworking mom

Hi, toffeenut! Very nice blog, I like the color combination! You're from UST, too? I am, but it was a long time ago already! :)

Nice idea. Let me show you the blog I just started today, but then I have a question that hopefully somebody can answer. http://blogchex.com/tweakpotter Now the question: Is there a way to personalize the look a little more of the blogs on BlogChex? I'm not crazy at all about the templates they have.

Hi, tweakpotter. Sorry it took quite a while for me to get back here. Anyway, at present, the choices of templates at blogchex are very limited. I know, I'm not too crazy about them either. But since they are still improving (they are still in alpha), maybe we'd have more leeway to personalize in the near future. Regarding your blog, it's a pretty enjoyable read, even if it's mostly "rants", as you've put in your title. :)

Tweakpotter, nice blog and nice writing skills - it keeps a person captivated... ;) As a side note (on the teasing you side-all in good humor)...your blog entry which talks about how you're not interested in trying to promote things on blogs to make some money, like others are doing with their blogs, has been written using a blog host that pays you for your reader's page impressions, right? Smiles... Anyway, is there a way to copy/paste some free css scripts into your blogchex layout? I know blogger and others have a section you can go to for altering the codes or writing your own but I don't know about Blogchex. Have you tried searching for something like "free scripts for blogchex layout" or a variation? I am looking now and will add more if I find something.

Tweakpotter, you can go to "Presentation" then "Edit Template". This is where all your codes are you can alter. I don't know a lot about writing code but you can find free page layout scripts and free tutorials for html and css practically anywhere online, as well as free color charts (to show u the hexidecimal code to produce certain colors). Here is one site for free CSS tutorials...http://www.w3schools.com/css/

I liked your blog. The color scheme works pretty well. I also like that you are willing to be open about yourself and depression, and that you have a variety of topics on your blog. Nice!

Hi little Mel. I visited your first blog and tried to post a comment. I seem to be having problems with the word verification process before posting. It's not just your blog. It's any blog that uses it. Has anyone else said anything to you?

Ethanmama, your blog is down for the time being? Padu19: Nice layout and interesting theme. I think you might benefit also from a proofreader or copy writer for spelling and grammatical errors though there were only a few things that I noticed. Good job :)

I visited your blog -- it's pretty good. The colors work well, doesn't hurt the eyes to read or anything. The idea for posting your total earnings from each site every Sunday is pretty cool. I was thinking about doing something like that on my money making blog, but I'm not sure how I will do it. I would like to do a monthly total too, and show how many hours I put into it, to give people that visit my site and idea of what the time commitment and payout is for each site.

Hi, nufoundglory! I've read your blog. It's something enlightening to us, and I applaud your courage in wanting to blog about depression. I also like your thoughts on topics other than depression. I'll be sure to check back.

mango_nectar -- I like this site! Your comments on the paying sites are concise and very personal, and not boring at all! I just wish you could also include if they are available for International members and what modes of payment (Since I'm from outside the US and can't accept paypal) so it will be easier for me. But it's something I can find out for myself anyway, so no biggie. All in all, I like it!

Neat idea, I have visited the (actually four) blogs ahead of my post because I didnt see the one in the comment under Sponkit's til later. The first and second (MangoNectar and Howtoinvest...) are very wide. Is there any way you can narrow them? I think people are more likely to read narrower text like is shown in Sponkits. Great content in all - and very helpful and useful. The celebrity site is interesting and I like how you've kept your entries short, to the point and with pics. Mine is http://designinglifenet.blogspot.com/ Note: as I went to get the address, I noticed my "The Secret" link is not working so will fix that later .... sorry.

Hi, Katrinka! I thoroughly enjoyed your writing. You were very really very good. Your post about an "internal censor" really hits close to home. I've always felt that I'm not good enough, but I felt very encouraged by what you wrote!

That's a good idea. Wish I had everything up and running. I went and bought a domain and hosting and have to figure out Joomla now. When I do I will link up and find a way to work your links in if you want? I will be giving away free photoshop stuff so I should get a fair little bit of traffic.

Your site was pretty good, but as someone suggested, you should change the color of the text. The red is hard on the eyes against the gray background.
