I've passed the Blogrush test Yippeee!

Here's the email I received:

"You are receiving this update because your blog has passed our strict
Quality Guidelines and criteria -- we believe you have a high-quality
blog and we are happy you're a member of our network!

-------------------------------------------------------------
10,000+ Blogs Removed From BlogRush"



Some Internet marketers and hackers are always trying to spoof whatever new service being offered. Blogrush was no exception.

The idea behind blogrush is that it allows for communication between Blogs covering similar topics. By linking to more blogs, search engine ranking goes up. So, Internet marketers, eager to move up the search engine ranking, create tons of automatically generated bullshit blogs just to get the keywords, and have the blogrush gizmo link to a ton of blogs and hopefully increase their rankings.

At great expense, the founders of blogrush had to hire human checkers to verify for content quality and remove over 10,000 phony blogs.

That should remove the chaff and keep the wheat and give a better experience to readers of blogs.

Although I am not regularly updating my blog, I try to add relevant content.

I should have more to say this winter as I will be in the Caribbeans all winter long :-)

Ramping up for Dominican Republic

I will spend next winter in the Dominican Republic.
I will explore new diving locations, caves, wrecks, coral reefs, etc...

While there, I will also make short trips to neighboring islands such as puerto rico, US and British virgin Islands, Turks & Caicos, and more.
