Added OneTrueFan

Because "MyBlogLog" is about to "sunset," I have added the OneTrueFan toolbar which appears at the bottom of the blog. The wibiya toolbar is still down there... to access it, just move your mouse over to the right hand side of the OTF toolbar and you'll see a marker where you can "x out" or close the OTF toolbar. [For many of you on dial-up, or using older browsers, the OTF toolbar may not appear!]

Please excuse my typing errors! I have a pesky keyboard which has a few characters that stick! I don't always have the time to go back and make corrections, so please be forgiving! ;)

I'm keeping the Google friend connect widget - I tried that Facebook Connect Friend thingy + the Facebook "Networked Blogs" widgets, but I really didn't like the way they slowed down load time on the blog, especially with dial-up. There are still many thousands of people still using dial-up to get online! Mobile users may notice I've rolled out blogger's new Mobile format. It makes reading this weblog a lot easier on your smartphone! Thanks, blogger!

I'll leave MyBlogLog up until it actually stops working. I'm also thinking of trimming down the old "blogroll" --- most blogs nowadays don't carry the listings anymore --- mine is a throwback to 2005 --- sometimes I like to keep little reminders of what blogging once was --- I know I have a couple of readers who have followed me since 2004, and they have encouraged me to KEEP the blogroll (but as I said, it may need an edit!) Of course, I'll keep my oldest dearest blogging friends, people like Wendy Cheng, Geoffrey Philp and Michelle Malkin, because their blogs are the greatest, and I'm not at all shy about telling you that I have used their blogs as models from time to time!

And a tip-of-the-hat to my fellow Entrecarders! I may not "drop" everyday like I used to, but I'm staying active because I really enjoy the interaction and have made some new blogging buddies along the way! (shout-outs to Gee and Aldon!)

What do you think about blogging in general and the future of blogging in 2011? Feel free to comment!
