LONG OVERDUE!

This post is long overdue, and I think now is the best time to do it.

Some time ago, and without me asking, a sweet young lady offered to change and improve my link list, from a long, disorderly mess, to a neat, well organized, user friendly list. Not only did she rewrite it in an acceptable computer language, which I might add, I do not know the first thing about, she also set the list up, mailed it to me, and all I had to do was copy and paste it onto my blog.

Then, some time later, I lost just about my complete blog by being stupid. Almost everything was gone, don't ask me how, but believe me when I say, it was gone! Needless to say, I didn't keep a copy of my blog in case something like this happens, so I was basically down and out. Fortunately for me, this same lady had kept a full backup of my blog on her hard drive somewhere. She restored my complete blog, and if anything went missing, or if I'd lost any info in the process, nobody ever noticed, so no harm done.

Since then we have been in contact from time to time, and whenever she sees fit, or if I ask, she lets me have valuable info to improve my blog. She further visits my sites on a regular basis, and always leaves inspirational comments or messages.

This lady is well known to loads of bloggers, and I thought it only fair that I thank her in a fitting way, so even those bloggers who have not heard about Dorothy yet, can "meet" this lovely, unselfish, friendly and helpful dame. So I'd like to dedicate this post to Dorothy, the author of womensselfesteem blog and Dating Online blog

So folks, when you read this post, please pay Dorothy a visit and support her blogs in any way you possibly can. Do what ever you like, copy her badge,



visit her sites, leave comments on her sites, as long as you support her.

Many thanks to you Dorothy for being a loyal and true friend, I really appreciate and value your advice, your friendship, your inspirational messages and the constant support.
I can truly say, you have been a great help, and I wish I'd met you earlier, coz then my climbing the blogger ladder would have been so much less painful, and a whole heap quicker.
Thanks again Dorothy, you are a star!!

Kira, that was quick, yes, but this was not hackers, it was completely my own stupidity.

Dorothy, how else can I thank you. You have done so much, and this is the only way I can think of to at least give something back.
Thanks again, also for the kind words, my blog has grown, but without you it would have been nowhere.
Hope you get thousands of visitors extra.

Stilettolover, she really is a kind and sweet lady, and this is the very least I can do to kinda return the favor. She still helps me, giving advice or helping out when I battle with something.
Thanks for commenting, it is always nice to get your input. :-)
