When BlogExplosion instituted its "Rent My Blog" advertising program I wasn't quite sure how it was going to work out. I mean, would anyone want to rent my blogs or would anyone rent me a space on their blog?

New to the idea of blogging it all was precious, startlingly new and maybe even a little scary for me. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I've since relaxed and take things less seriously, but I do want to acknowledge my renters past and present in order of appearance:

Broken Messenger broke the ice, followed by back-to-back rentals by Mike of Ramblings and Rhetoric, followed by Denotsko, whose wife got a chuckle out of my rental since he’s an atheist.

My newfound buddy Iris of Eph2810 followed with back-to-back rentals. Jeremy Shipp’s Haunted House Dressing, lefty’s A la Gauche, luin’s Faerytale Dreams, Philip Delricci’s Dark glass-a non-Catholic observes the Church, Pursuing Truth, Stephen Yong’s WISE WORDS and this week’s Epiac’s Place.

So there you have it...the renters of 2005. Please take a moment to visit them.

I love the blog rental thingy. I have 4 blogs and they are all rented out as soon as I offer them up for bids. Its a great way to get to know other bloggers and create many new friendships.

Hi Carol,

Thanks! I enjoy the clean lines and wide open spaces and clutter free layout.

Hi Dee. Thanks for giving me spaces on your blog and thank you for mentioning me in this post.:)
I think the greatest thing about the renting thing is that you will 'meet' other bloggers, special ones like yourself.:)
