The Linky Love Train Meme

Time to do a meme which we have not been doing for some time. Thanks to JMom, our kailiyan in North Carolina who likes to cook, for tagging us to do this. The idea of this meme is to pass the links around which means that, if we keep the link train going, all of us will have more links.

So folks, let’s get aboard the Linky Train. All you have to do is:
1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.
2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.
3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.
4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW is using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section.
5. Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!

We are Moving… Kind of

Hello everyone. Starting today, our updates on the Cordilleras and its peoples will be published at Kaigorotan.com which will be our home for anything/everything that has something to do with the Cordilleras.

However, we will continue to post here in From the Boondocks but the entries will be the personal stuff like the memes that we should have done but still haven’t (sorry for those who tagged us), our rantings against Gloria and her factotums, our take on things happening outside the boondocks, and the sponsored posts that some of you might be wondering about (Answer: Blogging is fun, but we need cash to keep blogging.)

Kaigorotan.com, our Other Home, is Online

Hello, everyone. Our other home, kaigorotan.com, is online. Yup, this is the domain you won for us when you did all that clicking last October.

Actually, kaigorotan.com has been online since November 6 when Tina of My Good Finds set it up. (Thanks Tina.) But I’m only making the announcement now because it took me forever to learn about WordPress, to pick a suitable design, and to tweak it to my liking. The new blog is still a work in progress so expect some changes every now and then.

Gifts, Gifts, Gifts

Kayni, our kailiyan in Washington DC/Maryland, is giving gifts to the first five commenters of her post here. Unfortunately for you, the contest is over because five people – including yours truly – already commented. But, still, even if you won’t receive a gift, you should still visit her blog.

Now, the catch in Kayni’s gift giving contest is that those who won should make the same offer in their blog. So let me make the offer here. I will send a gift to:
