Sounds too low-tech to work in the virtual world? Well, it's not. I'll prove it. First, develop a nice, friendly, informative profile on yourself. Include a link back to your blog if you like.

Each of your comments will automatically include a link back to your profile and lens list! If you've been kind, people will return the favor and visit your lenses.
