In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, I am thinking about ways that those of us at ePluribus Media can give thanks to those of you who have supported our efforts throughout 2005.

One of the things we've been discussing behind the scenes is the creation of a blogroll. Many of you out there have been kind enough to give your support to us, and I (for one) would like to offer our supporters an opportunity to be recognized.

If you have a blog that you would like listed in a "Friends of ePluribus Media" blogroll, please post a link here in the comments.

The final decision on posting this blogroll will lie with the ePMedia Board of Directors, but I promise I'll put in a good word for all of you.
