On "Following" this blog

Many sincere thanks to those of you who added me to your Blogger Follower's list. When I added the Followers widget a few weeks back I had no idea how many, if any, would sign up. Of the few hundred readers to the blog (based on traffic stats) some of you visit a lot throughout the day, a few times a week, or daily through the RSS/Atom feed. If you happen to be an RSS subscriber there is little chance you have even seen the follower widget on the sidebar (listed as "Readers"). I encourage you to use the following function not only as a method of showing support, but also because it's a great way to find other bloggers. Winding my way through people who follow this blog and those that follow others I frequent I have found a lot of sites I would not have otherwise found (e.g. a budding Indian Orthodox community, a network of Serbian Orthodox bloggers, etc.). Thanks again for reading.
