A quick update on Trying to Follow and other projects around the blogosphere. First of all, I’m going to try and clean things up on here so that I can send my computer in to get fixed tomorrow. The CD drive isn’t working, but the warranty should cover anything that needs to be done.

I’m really hoping the little eikonproject.org marketing project takes off. I’d love to see some grassroots action on this, it just seems like a fun opportunity. Virgil, a friend over at Planet Preterist, posted about it and has sent quite a few visitors this way. We’ll see what happens.

Another project I was starting on was Fair Consumers. I wanted a site that has all the resources, stories, shopping centers, etc. that folks can go to, to find fair trade items and information. Fair Consumers is up and running, so if you want to log-in and add stories or anything else feel free to. It’s a work in progress, and I might not keep it up, but I’d love to hear others thoughts on it.

I also made yogurt the other day. Thanks to a recipe from Beth.

In addition I’ve been fixing up the site to have more interaction and user friendly elements. I’m hoping more reader’s then just Zach stop by and rate the posts. You can give each post up to a three star rating, either on individual posts or from the front page. So if your willing, make an effort to stop by the front page once a week and vote on the quality of that weeks posts. This will help new readers find the worthwhile articles.

I also added an email and print buttons to make it convenient to share what you find here at Trying to Follow.
