Welcome Quotations Weblog readers!

A big QB welcome to visitors from Quotations Weblog. Thanks much for the link-love, and to Jason for introducing us.

In my journey through life, as I find quotations, I add them here. I got tired of transcribing them by hand onto paper and wanted to share them with the rest of the world.

Recently I added the Topics cloud at the page header, which includes topics and the person to whom the quotation is attributed. Please be sure to read the Welcome message in the sidebar for more information.

Also, I'm more than happy to correct any misquotations, should you find any.

Finally, I'm "repurposing" content from this blog to Twitter. If you're on there, you can add quotesblog as a friend. While you're at it, feel free to follow me.

Mary Landrieu on the Devastation of Hurricane Katrina

"Having toured Sri Lanka with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist after the Indian Ocean tsunami in December, it saddens me to report that the devastation I've seen here at home is equal to that which I witnessed half a world away.

"Our nation came to the aid of the tsunami victims then, and to hurricane victims in Central America before. I am deeply moved to see us come together with the same love and fellowship today, as millions of Americans have rallied to support their brothers and sisters on the Gulf Coast."
-- Mary Landrieu, United States Senator from Louisiana, about the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005

Help Make Blogs More Visible!

NOTE: Be sure you paste live links for the Path List below.

There are by some estimates more than a million weblogs. But most of them get no visibility in search engines. Only a few "A-List" blogs get into the top search engine results for a given topic, while the majority of blogs just don't get noticed. The reason is that the smaller blogs don't have enough links pointing to them. But this posting could solve that. Let's help the smaller blogs get more visibility!

This posting is GoMeme 4.0. It is part of an experiment to see if we can create a blog posting that helps 1000's of blogs get higher rankings in Google. So far we have tried 3 earlier variations. Our first test, GoMeme 1.0, spread to nearly 740 blogs in 2.5 days. This new version 4.0 is shorter, simpler, and fits more easily into your blog.

Why are we doing this? We want to help thousands of blogs get more visibility in Google and other search engines. How does it work? Just follow the instructions below to re-post this meme in your blog and add your URL to the end of the Path List below. As the meme spreads onwards from your blog, so will your URL. Later, when your blog is indexed by search engines, they will see the links pointing to your blog from all the downstream blogs that got this via you, which will cause them to rank your blog higher in search results. Everyone in the Path List below benefits in a similar way as this meme spreads. Try it!
Instructions: Just copy this entire post and paste it into your blog. Then add your URL to the end of the path list below, and pass it on!
