Agriculture.com’s Top 10 [A] List for 2010 — Technology & Agriculture News

There are times when I wonder why I’m doing this blog. Weekends when things are getting away from me and I find it tough to get posts written. Times when no brilliant ideas come to me. Yeah, occasionally doubt grabs me. Its not long though til I come across something that I have thoughts on I want to tap out or someone asks a question or an encouraging comment pops up. Today it was that last thing… a note of encouragement and it was unexpected.

I logged onto my computer and checked blog stats knowing I needed to get writing soon. I saw a referrer that, while it looked familiar as it cited agriculture.com — it wasn’t one of the discussion boards I post to from time to time.
I had to see what it was… and it was an article by John Walter listing the top 10 sites from its [A]List for 2010. Even hours later I’m blown away that my blog is there. And the words written…. well I had to post them here for my mom and others to see. And maybe just as a reminder to me now and then when I wonder whether I ever get it right.
