Woo Hoo for Me!

Yes, I feel a little like celebrating! First - my other blog got some love from two other sources this week! I thought it was great.

There was mention of it in Blog Catalog's Blog (I know almost redundant huh?)Then there was a great review at Doyoudiggit.com I am really impressed at how well written that review is! All I know is, it seems to pay off when you recognize other people's efforts and post about them. It seems that most of the internet is quite reciprocal when it comes to a little credit here and there. A big thanks to both Blog Catalog and Doyoudiggit.com !

Now for some other good news for me. I just was appointed as the Chief of personnel for the UNMIL UNPOL - I know a lot of UN's there. But for the United Nations Mission in Liberia UN Police, I am the chief personnel officer. So far everyone has treated me great - I am learning a lot about the job as I go!

Funny though - I still get paid the same :P

2. Blog Catalog is a cool place to share ideas.
3. Entrecard brings blog traffic.
4. Meals at the "PAP" UN dining hall are rarely bearable.
5. What the heck am I doing here?
6. It rains every day.
7. Doing business online is interesting.
8. This blog gets more respect than my other one.

Sometimes I Wonder...

Sometimes, I wonder where my blog readers, or at least visitors come from. Some I know, old BBB (Barry's Baghdad Blog) fans and some blog catalog friends. Then there is the passerby that may or may not leave a comment - but I often wonder what lead them here.

My wondering is based on my totally not knowing how all of the blog-traffic thing works. Oh, I know I could get lots of traffic with a few wild posts, but that would not be fair to the people it would draw in, as they would have been duped. I guess it would be like spamming, so to speak.

I think I am really just trying to keep myself distracted in a positive way while here in Liberia.

All is OK, I am just rambling.
