It's clear I've become a rabid fanboy of Squidoo. How utterly ironic, then, that on the very day I actually earn some income from a 'rival' system, I achieve Level 10 karma on Orble!

Two years ago I dreamed of the day this would happen. I never thought it actually would. And I can honestly say I got more of a buzz from this fee-free honour than the $1.62 I've been waving in everone's faces all day long.

So, let the record show: I'd never have started blogging were it not for Orble. Despite its technical flaws, it remains a wonderful community of which I'm very proud to be a part.

I offer my humble gratitude to all those who have made Orble possible.

10 points for anyone who can link the photo with my news.

Thank you & good night!
