Thank you both so much for this, my dear blogger friends!

Share seven things about yourself.

Seven things about me:

1. I would like to be able to visit more blogs. But some bloggers who are so kind to, eg, “like” my blog posts have Gravatars without links to their blogs; or with links to an old blog site which does not work any more. So, please, update your Gravatar profiles!
