"Upgrade U"

I've been making small additions to the blog over in the sidebar.  As previously mentioned. there are Email and Twitter buttons to make it easier for readers to contact me.  I want to open up more of a dialogue with people.  I do this for fun, but it's cool to know what readers think about what I have to say.

Also, there's a button that allows you to add Man's Writes to your Technorati favorites.  Technorati is a site that rates blogs.  Go there if you're not familiar.   In addition, I put in a section called "The World" that lists current news articles. You can customize your news by clicking the headings above it.  "The List" features a few of the blogs I follow.  Good stuff so check them out. "The Visuals" are some selected YouTube videos to keep you entertained while you read my stuff.  I want to create an overall good experience when you come here, where you can get everything you need in one stop.  Kinda like the corner store or the bodega in the hood.  "The Hunt" is simply a search engine that you can use to look for posts I've done or to search the web.  Occasionally, I'll put up "The Poll" to see how readers feel about a particular subject. If you decide to become a follower of this blog, you can have your little picture show up in "The Mob."  Finally, there's a "Subscribe" link where you can have my goodness delivered to your inbox whenever there's a new post.

I hope these things make the blog more reader friendly and encourage you to check back often and maybe even tell someone about it.

Thanks...
