Web Communities

Just a note -- I noticed that my page was loading really slow, and lo and behold, it was due to all of the different webrings and communities badges on my main page. So I have created a new post for each of these communities, backdated them all to January 1, 2006, and created a link on my sidebar to see all of these different organizations. I don't mean to downplay the positive effect these different communities have played in leading readers to my site. I just want my page to load normally. If you would like to see any of the places I have joined, click on the sidebar link or click on the web communities label at the bottom of this post. Thanks!
