Hi Remedio,
Wow, I learned a lot just scanning your blog. Very cool!
I am starting up taosblog.com which aims to become the Taos community web log (no hotlink to show that this isn't comment spam, if you're interested, copy/paste will get you to us).
TaosBlog is a baby blog; but, we have already achieved some notice in the blogosphere.
I'm working on our 'blogroll' and this is to inform you that I have included Taos Red Willow Project in our brand new 'blogroll.'
Sarah
