No room for rent

Recently I’ve seen a few bloggers renting out space on their blogs for other bloggers to advertise. I don’t have anything against the practice but I do wonder sometimes how much of an endorsement it is if it’s paid for in dollars or credits of one kind or another.

While I think it’s fine for others to rent out a bit of space on their blogs, it’s not for me. I’d rather direct anyone who drops in here to blogs that I personally enjoy reading.

That’s why I’m suggesting that you drop in and visit Paula’s blog more about nothing. Just click on the screen shot and have a look around. Paula is originally from South Australia but is currently living in Sydney. Her posts are a bit like mine in that they’re fairly random as far as subject matter is concerned. I like that because I never know what I’m going to find next but I do know it’ll be interesting. Paula is also a regular reader and commenter here at The Journey. Why not drop in and say hello. Tell her I said hi and make sure you add yourself to her Frappr map.

(Speaking of such things, if you haven’t yet visited The Journey Guest Map, please click here and add yourself.)

In the coming weeks I’ll introduce you to a few of the blogs I visit regularly. You’ll find that there’s a great cross section of interests. Some of my suggestions will become some of your favourites too but I’m sure that for others, one visit will be enough for you. That’s fine, we all have different tastes and while the blogs I’ll mention are all favourites of mine, I know that you won’t always share my views.

If you want to get a head start on checking out the blogs I read each day through Bloglines, you can read your way through THE BLOG LIST in my right hand sidebar.
