There's a fun little virus--a good kind--going around the blogging world. It's called the Indie Virus. So that I don't mess anything up, I'm going to post it word-for-word how MomRN2 wrote it at her blog (she's the one who passed it to me):
Pearsonified has started a small, casual social experiment, it’s called “The Indie Virus.” Here’s how Pearsonified describes this experiment:The experiment, henceforth referred to as “The Indie Virus,” has two goals:
* To bring exposure to lesser known blogs (especially those outside of Technorati’s top 100)
* To explore the metrics behind a viral linking campaign launched by the “little guys” (less popular blogs)
So...here's who I sneeze my Indie germs onto:
Mary at Owlhaven. Mary is mom--and friend--to many! Her sweet, sweet attitude about motherhood's adventures always encourages me.
Rachel at Finding Wonder in the Mundane. Rachel is profound, funny, intelligent and convicting--often in the very same post. She was my very, very first commenter way back in the day....
Beth at From Her Majesty's Throne. Beth and I, I believe, share a brain--we have so much in common. She has one of the coolest blog designs out there!
Karen at The Big Trade-Off. Another of my very first "blog friends". Karen is teaching me a lot about courage these days. And the word "woot".
If I accidentally sneezed on someone who already has the bug, please forgive me--I'm still not caught up on my blog-reading after vacation.
Happy weekend to all!
Oh, good! I was beginning to feel, like when kids choose up sides for tetherball, that I wasn't going to get picked!
Though why I'd want another virus today of all days, I can't figure out....
Mary, mom to many

Okay. So you're the second person who has sneezed on me without covering their mouth. I still don't get what this is all about. But thanks for the nice little shout-out.

Yes, and just like in school, I'm unpicked *sniff* Do we ever leave High School :-?
Wow, I can't believe that I'm ahead of the curve in trying to link blogs that desire more exposure. I started a blogroll called "Blogging Chicks" so that us little guys could ban together and increase our exposure. I got tired of waiting to join the PCA blogroll :-). I have eight blogs so far.
It's great that your guys are trying to help out the lesser known sites.
