These results did and did not surprise me. I figured I would get a pretty long list BUT I am surprised at the sheer variety of blogs people listed. Some I have heard of, some I have not 😃
I have hyperlinked the top 4 as they were listed as being frequented by more then one person 😎
All in all, I think for the Blog being restarted in the end of September 2019, the amount of readers whom participated is spectacular!! It has given me direction in which to move the blog, which was it's intended purpose 👍
Thank You to everyone who participated!!!
