Happy Holidays

I am grateful to God for so many things

As the hectic holidays approach, I just want to thank God I am still alive and that the members are alive. Many of us have faced multi-year tragedy and grief.  I just wanted to say that I am glad I am a Blog Villager and will continue until I can not.

Blog Blast for Peace begins tomorrow.  If anyone would like to participate, feel free to use the one above.

Blog Village List not accepting new blogs

Due to my ill health, the top list will not be accepting any new blogs for awhile. I get 10-15 per day and NONE of them have banners and most of them are LAWYERS.

I wish everyone on the list a happy and prosperous holiday season. From Hallowmas to Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Years.  These and all other holidays bestow my wishes upon you and your family.

Memorial Day

Remember the fallen warriors on Memorial Day. Stop what you are doing at 3PM (local time) and remember the ones that fought and died for us.

Happy Mother's Day

To All Mothers

Update on CyberCelt's Health

Dear Blog Villagers:

My disease progresses slowly. I seem to have hit a plateau from which I may build myself back up. I have sworn off traditional medicine and am using natural supplements and amino acids and peptides.

I need to know what the members wish to do with this list. When I took over, I was gung-ho, but never rec'd any feedback from members.

With my health being what it is, I am screening new applicants about once a month.  Most of those accepted do not have a banner. I am waiting to see who is active before I make any more banners.

If there is something you would like to do with the list, like carnival, group writing package, critiques, reviews, advertising--I am open to anything sensible.  Use that Kontactr button and tell me what you have in mind.

I cannot run this list by myself as I have been.  If there is no more participation by the list, I think I will have to walk away from it.  Life is precious to spend it doing something no one appreciates.

Sincerely,

CyberCelt

Just a Wish for All Mothers in the World

To all the mothers out there and present only in our memories. 

To all mothers, regardless of religion, creed or nationality.

To all mothers in the animal kingdom struggling to live and raise a family.

Happy Mother's Day!

Have a glorious Easter

From Saint Patrick's Breastplate 

Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Christ where I lie
Christ where I sit
Christ where I arise
Christ in the heart of every man
who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man
who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me
Salvation is of the Lord

Who needs help with a banner?

I am more than happy to design or edit a banner for any blog showing on the top list.  March 1 is the deadline.  Please do this or let me help you.

Blog Banner MUST BE Displayed with Blog Description

NOTE 
 * * * *

Each blog on the Blog Village Top List must have a banner by March 1, 2012.  The purpose of the Top List is to display banners that readers click to visit your blog.  Blog description is not enough and is hard for some folks to read.  If you need help, ask. 

This action is to help me.  I get 60-80 entries each week.  Out of those, MAYBE one is really a blog. So, submit a banner, make sure your Blog Village banner is displayed on your blog and read and comment on other blogs on BV list.


The dimensions of a standard banner are 468 x 60

 60

--------------------------- 468 -------------------------------------------

If you want, you can reduce the 468x60 size, but the banner must be readable.

Blog Village Top List Requirements

When people submit their blog to become a Blog Villager, they are given the rules by which blogs (only) are approved.  Since this is not working, I am trying something new. 

To be approved as a member of Blog Village Top List, you must submit a banner with your entry and you must confirm your email address.

Your blog must:

• display the Blog Village banner;
• be current and updated regularly;
• have at least one month of posts;
• display your email address or contain contact form; and,
• be written in English or automatically translate into English based on IP address of viewer

Your blog must NOT be:

• email capture site;
• drugs by mail site;
• store or sales page;
• male enhancement site; 
• purveying pornography;
• on the World of Trust (WOT) dangerous list;
• lawyer's, CPA's, dentist's or other professionals' blog or website;
• spam site written for the sole purpose of adding advertisements; or,
• website or blog of a service (lawn care, cleaning, pool treatment, auto detailing, etc.).

 Your blog must NOT contain: 

• advertising for brides or husbands by mail; 
• gambling information or links to gambling sites;  
• stock tips, advice on Forex or currency speculation;
• information about ponzi, MLM or other money-making scheme;
• mechanism or enticement for transferring trojans, viruses or malware; 
•  redirects--except if you are using Blogger with your own domain name;
• any advertising that takes control of browser (popups, popunders, sliders, etc.); or,
• female or male nudity unless it is done in a tasteful way, as you would find in museum.

To become a Blog Villager, you must own a blog.  Blogs contain posts written by the owner(s) of the blog.  Blogs allow comments.  Blogs have archives and, usually, categories or tags.  Blogs may contain advertisements as long as they do not interfere with viewing.

Celebrate the Life of MLK, Jr. on Monday

I Have a Dream

When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.

Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968
