Okay I have been blogging for a few months now and have been trying to drum up traffic to my few blogs. I am now using MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog, and a couple of other things I can't remember right off the bat. I registered for Blog Catalog a while ago and totally forgot about it.

When I went though my divorce it was signed over to a friend of mine in Germany and in my mind was still my possesion. My friend was deployed to Iraq and the car was confiscated by the German Police.  read more »
