New Year, New Design, & New Features at Nettie’s World

I’m happy to be ringing in the new year with some upgrades here at Nettie’s World.  I’ve reworked the design and changed the font, and I’m pretty happy with it – seems crisper to me.  I also added some new features to my sidebar.  My favorite of those is that I’ve finally gotten my blogroll going!  I’m a big fan of so many great blogs, there are literally more than I can keep up with, and I’m always finding more.  So many great writers, thinkers, and PEOPLE out there in the blogging world!!

And I want to share them with everyone (because that’s what you do when you like something – you share it!).  So I’ll be posting links from time to time and encouraging everyone to go take a look-see, and I’ll start right now.

First, a couple of Autism related blogs:

• Our Fascinating Journey With Asperger’s Syndrome
  This is my blog over on Autisable, the autism blogging community in the Xangaverse.  I started this just after Jacob’s diagnosis.
• Raising Asperger’s Kids
  Elise has been a mentor for many as she shares all that she has learned raising two sons with Asperger’s.

Next is my Catholic blog category, and it’s impossible to prioritize them by “top 5” or even “top 10” — so I’ll just stick with linking them alphabetically.  There are all kinds of blogs here – clergy, homeschooling moms, apologists, culinary artists, philosophers… something for everyone!  Here’s # through I for starters:

I’ll be featuring more in the coming days, but don’t limit yourself, check out the entire list over on the right.  And MOST IMPORTANTLY:  if I’ve missed something you KNOW I should have included, or, if you know me, and I know you, and yet for some reason only explicable by virtue of having “dropped me brain” your blog is not on my list, leave me the link in a comment so that I can do a dramatic forehead slap and add you in where you belong!!  I don’t want to miss anyone!! 🙂
