    You know, I just noticed that you “Links on Friday” is actually a weekly installmemt. That is really cool. Also, now that I think about it one day before you started doing the links on Friday, I can’t remember where, but I saw a comment that you made where you said that Africa bloggers should periodically do such an Africa bloggers appreciation and include a related tag and that by doing so it would be beneficial for the whole Africa blogger community. What a great example you are always providing to the rest of us Africa bloggers!

  2. The “Links on Friday” series is my way of highlighting some interesting issues I’m too lazy to blog. I’m glad you have found it meaningful Benin.
