Like you, I also tend to trust too much--trying to give people the benefit of the doubt--allowing them to be who they really are for instance. But at the sametime I'm a risk taker, (my mom accuses me a lot about this attribute of mine, she thinks I take too many risks), so if I have a gut feeling about something or someone say, like deciding to make friends with someone whom another person might disdain, I usually tend to stick with it and usually it works out but sometimes it blows up in my face and then I'll admit my mistake. But I'm still learning ~wink!~

decisions...

I have a real hard time when it comes to decisions... i tend to think more with my heart then with my brain, i trust people way too much, but im so scared of doing things, that i most of the time end up thinking "i would have loved to make the mistakes, instead of fearing to try things out"
Anyway, thanks for stopping by my site, and thanks for the link :)

Some other places you might want to list your new blog...

The nice thing about Antville is that it automatically pings weblogs.com and blo.gs, so you don't have to register your site for those. And you're already on HotOrNot.

But if you haven't signed up for them already, you might want to get a listing on Daypop and blogdex, the two other major indexes of the current blogging world.

Welcome to Antville!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will set that up now. I had noticed it at your site but couldn't figure out how you did that. Your design is beautiful though! I just read your posting { Interlaced Portraits } and found it very interesting. My comment was apparently too long so I don't know if another person can post there as the links have been chopped off.--Sorry!
I'm off to set up the comments--Cheers~

Do what I did...

Just create a registration for a "guest" user and post the name and p/w on your front-page template.

I used to use "guest / guest", which several antville sites were doing, but that ceased to work, so now I have my own site-specific guest account.

Elsewhere...

*To borrow something pointed out by { Sean Nolan } asserted by author, Stephen Johnson, "the web alone doesn't show any self-organizing behavior because it's missing feedback, i.e., all the links are one-way."

It was mentioned here in the help section of Antville that since Antville is an open source that there's a way to make such a system work--but it would involve setting up on one's own server using cgi and so forth etc, or have I misunderstood?
