Hi Anuparp,

will be watching your blog and see after a couple of months if the posts keep coming! With you the best of luck.

PS: there is something wrong with your template... The way I view it, your posts start only to show where the text in your side columns stops...

Thanks for adding my blog, Owen Abroad (at www.owen.org/blog)

You've listed it as US. Actually I live in Ethiopia, in Addis Ababa.

You might also be interested in my development podcast, Development Drums:

@Owen: thanks for the input. Thought to have seen in your 'about' section you were in the US..
Have corrected.

Hey, I was in Addis 3 weeks ago. we could have had a beer!

Will look at (listen to) your podcast asap...!

Hi Peter

Love your site - I've put a link to it in my site.

Would like you to consider mine for inclusion in the expat blogs section.

Thanks for the great site.
Here in Eastern Congo I don't get to talk to too many expats so it is fascinating to see such a collection of blogs from aid workers across the world. If you could add my blog, I'd appreciate it.

Peter,  27 February, 2009 11:31  

@Shona:

Glad to add your blog! Will be up in the next release of the aidblogs widget!!

There are not that many blogging aidworkers around, so I am always happy with 'a new discovery'!!

Can I add your blog to the list of http://www.aidworkers.net aidblogs too?

Hi fascinating blog - an inspiration to us all. Thought you might be interested in @learnasone (www.learnasone.org), which blogs about the schools it helps to fund.

Peter,  31 May, 2009 14:41  

Thanks Cueball! that blog looks interesting... will include it!

@uvp

thank you.

Peter,  08 October, 2009 22:36  

@The Team at Uganda Village Project

I had your blog already on my blogroll (http://delicious.com/nonprofitblogs) and updates are propagated through http://humanitariannews.org and http://nonprofitblogs.info

but I did not have your main site... I will include that one on my next update for the blogroll of the The Road to the Horizon!

thanks for the tip, and keep up the good work!

kickpolio,  27 October, 2011 09:44  

Hi Peter, my blog is very new and I am trying to enlighten Nigerians and Africans in general about the wild polio virus. I also talk about various public health issues and the role individuals have to play in their immediate environments.
my blog is www.kickpolio.wordpress.com

Cheers,
Zainab

kickpolio,  28 October, 2011 17:35  

Hi Peter,

Still no word from you as regards my blog...will it be added to your next updated lists?

Thanks,

Zainab

Peter,  29 October, 2011 12:00  

@Zainab,

I am glad that you found inspiration in the #IFWF3 work. It is good to define the purpose of your blog as you did... More insights will follow as you go along...

One tip: if you take over articles from other blogs, then I'd suggest to only take over excerpts (not the whole article), and to certainly put a link back to the original article (e.g. "Read the full article", and then link back. Or "Original article published on..." and a link back)..

On list blogs in my list: blogs need to be at least 6 months old. So remind me in a couple of months, and I can include it..

Best of luck to you!

Peter

kickpolio,  30 October, 2011 00:03  

Thanks for the tip Peter...and yes, i will definitely remind you about the addition in a few months time..


Regards,

ZAINAB
