Rather than have a blogroll and long list of other web sites cluttering up my front page I have created this post which I will edit as necessary to update my preferred sites. A permanent link to it will be placed in the sidebar. This allows me the room to describe each site for you, something that rural users with slow connections will find particularly useful in avoiding sites with “heavy” front page content that turn out to be of no real interest to the reader.
Note to Bloggers and Webmasters:- Please keep your home page “light” and avoid high rez pictures and video on the main page. Give us guys with dial up a chance to read your stuff without having to wait 10 minuets for your page to load. Put the “heavy” stuff on a link if at all possible!
