Great New Blog
Found a great new blog today by "RobertD", a military retiree: "Thereby hang's a tale". Unlike 99% of blogs discussing the Iraq War, he is writing about actual military preparedness, and the way the actual fighting is going, not just the way the political fighting is going. This is, frankly, something I constantly have to remind myself about - not to get caught up in too much useless political bickering.
I don't agree with everything he says, but I wish him the best.
Incidentally, on my blogroll to the right are some quality web sites that don't get giant amounts of traffic. This is a suggestion for all new bloggers. Why link to ridiculously popular sites like Instapundit, Little Green Footballs, Huffington Post, or Perez Hilton? These sites usually get over a million hits a day, and if you are new, they are highly unlikely to link to you, or even notice that you exist.
Link to the little guys. They need it more, and will notice you for it. I found the "Thereby hang's a tale" blog specifically because the author linked to me from his site.

John, Thanks for your comments.I'm new to the blogosphere and there is so much out there that you can get lost but I totally agree with you about the ginormous blogs out there and how you would never be noticed on these sites. I'm going to link to your blog here and keep following you. Thanks for your service.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in getting back to good health. I linked to your "Deep Thoughts" blog because its closer to the theme of this site, but actually if you actively publicize your blog on Polycythemia Vera, it would probably get far more readership, simply due to its uniqueness.
I think you might like Cavalier's Guardian Watchblog. I have been reading him for years, and he has well-written and researched posts. He hasn't written in a few weeks, so maybe he's petering out, but you could read some of his older stuff and see if you like it. Just a thought...
