As should be readily evident, I haven't switched my template from the classic blogspot setup. Consequently, I don't have access to many of the new tools available on blogger. That's okay by me because I didn't establish TRT to do anything fancy. I'm not suggesting that some of the new widgets aren't really cool, but my concentration here is on exploring topics and ideas.
Since I don't have the necessary widget automatically to add "followers" of this here blog, I have added the list manually on my own. For me, this offers a key advantage. When you use the widget, all you get when you click on a person's name is their blog profile. When you click a follower's name here, you're magically transported to the person's blog (or one of their blogs).
This difference is important to me because my purpose is not simply to invite people to read my words and ideas. Since Taoism is a tapestry of thought, I genuinely want visitors to explore other Taoist and like-minded blogs as well. And that's why I work so hard every week to add more and more links to the right side column.
One of the most gratifying aspects of this whole experience is the number of visitors who regularly make use of the links provided. It is my sincere hope that the words and ideas of all of us inspire and motivate you to look at the world in a manner you may not be used to and for you to reciprocate by causing us to be inspired by your thoughts and words as well.

Well I try, but I don't feel inspiring every day. So then it's best to just shut up. ;^)
