And, just to clarify things (for everyone’s benefit actually), I am just teasing with the “guilt-trip” and stuff along those lines. Sometimes, without face-to-face contact, it’s hard to tell if someone is playing or being serious. I just don’t want anyone thinking I’m trying to be a jerk and pressuring people to give me links or anything.

It’s like the reviews. The “duel” part is for fun, and, just like on “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” (the American version), the points don’t matter. I try to give serious criticism and commentary on the blogs I review, but the comments relating to the “duel” are in fun. I think most people realize that, but I think maybe it’s a good idea to clarify that once in a while.

According to Technorati, there hasn’t been any link love yet. But, didn’t you link to me when you “won” the review? I thought I remembered reading you saying you had won.

I have another blog that I started in 2005, a few months before the dog. I’ll be jumpstarting that one again soon.

Neither are WordPress blogs (both hand-coded by me). I did do some promotion by commenting on other blogs, but mainly only on blogs of people I knew, so word never really got out on them much.
