calling all followers!

yeah, that's right, an exclamation point in the title, so this must be of vital importance, right?... of course you could take it as the usual irreverent sarcasm i generally find flowing through my mind at any given moment of any given day of this life in human form, but you oughta know by now that there is as much seriousness as there is sarcasm (irreverent or not) in most anything i write... so let's get our pondering hats out and flex a few neurons, whydontwe...

the ponderosa (that would be the land upon which pondering takes place, chaknow?) of the day is this thing called following that blogger has built in to their system here... it's a downright foolproof (well, it's helpful) method of actually being spot-on right there the moment someone you love and adore (or just like to read, for that matter) posts a new entry in their blog... i intend to start using it just as soon as i find your blogs again, but of the four of you who are family on the right sidebar, only one of you have an active blog i can follow at the moment (s, i'm not sure if you've got one active, z, i hope you come back to life soon, and p, you're private these days and i'm locked out) so i only follow one of you...

anybody out there who wants to know if i update can just click the "follow" button (wherever it is) and you'll get a handy dandy little email all for yourself private to you and personal from your friends here at blogger that lets you know that me, i, yours truly, has posted a new entry (just like this one, even) that you can rush right over and read and be the first to comment upon cuz that's how we show our blogger-love, right?...

yes, so let's review... follow (ya falla?)...

(stay tuned for part 2 :)
