Blogroll

One of my professors early on in journalism school said there was only one way to suceed as a journalist: read, read, read. So I did, and I do. In fact, I read so many blogs, I can’t read all of them. I do, however, take special interest in the smaller ones like mine: people who don’t get free loot all the time, people whose stories are like mine, people who love the same things I do: travel, Spain, photography and laughing at themselves. So like them, send them some blog love and link them to your own.
