Now this is really strange. I was sorting through my referring sites list a few days ago and found, oddly enough, what appeared to be a link to my website from the online edition of the Wall Street Journal. Yes, the Wall Street Journal.
It took me a couple of days to check, as I had to find someone with access to the WSJ online; a pay-site. But sure enough, an article was posted Monday the 18th entitled "... Find a Blog" that was part of a special report on the Internet. And in that article the following was discussed. (Did I mention this was in the Wall Street Journal?)
There are also a handful of directories that break the blogosphere down into categories. Portal.Eatonweb.com, compiled by early blogger Brigitte Eaton, lists 7,875 blogs in 87 categories, the biggest being personal, journal, humor and commentary. You'll find treasures in the smaller categories, such as New Age. Listed there: Herbalist Evo Terra's ASimplerWay.com discusses holistic vs. conventional pediatrics...
When I started this website, I had lots of ambitions. But I never, ever, in a million years thought I'd have a link from the Wall Street Journal! Whoda thunk it? Coming up next week, global financial advice from Evo Terra!
(Oh, and as you already know, my discussions go well beyond pediatrics.. but who cares! I'm in the Wall Street Journal!)
It is great you have caught some-one's attention. Like many others you do a good job at expressing yourself with your weblog. Do you contribute to any collaborative weblogs on gardening or alternative medicines?

No, I haven't done the collaborative thing just yet. Actually, I'm finding it very difficult to locate other blogs dealing with holistic health. Plenty of sites, but not many folks are blogging about it. Please pass along any you think I should see!
Scott and Kent,
Thanks for the congrats and the kind words. It's very surreal... but I'll take it!
