One of the first things I&#8217;ll be working on is the <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?p=5042\" title=\"Time to Update the Storytime Resources!\">Storytime Resource Page update<\/a> I announced *cough* back in September. I am looking forward to getting to know some new blogs and adding even more to my reader, so I&#8217;m repeating my request: If you have a blog or know of one that is not on <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?page_id=519\" title=\"Storytime Resources\">my list<\/a>, please let me know! <\/p>\n<p>But my MAIN reason for writing this quick post is this response to the survey&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-18-at-11.59.53-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-18-at-11.59.53-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2014-01-18 at 11.59.53 AM\" width=\"799\" height=\"404\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5164\" srcset=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-18-at-11.59.53-AM.png 799w, http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-18-at-11.59.53-AM-300x151.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;which shows that half of everyone found me through another blog or through Flannel Friday, which is, of course, made up of other blogs. So a lot of you wouldn&#8217;t be here if it weren&#8217;t for someone else being awesome and generous by 1) writing a great blog and 2) linking to Mel&#8217;s Desk.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t even begin to tell you how much this blogging community means to me and how much I value it for my work. Thank you for being a part of it, whether you blog, or read, or share all these great posts. Your support keeps this network vital. I&#8217;m looking forward to having more time for reading and blogging this year, and for passing along what I find! <\/p>\n<p>PS: Still looking for a replacement for Google Reader?
