I maintain a blogroll of more than 150 FS blogs plus additional blogs of interest to those in the Foreign Service or looking to join. I have added a link to your blogregator and to FSOT Forums there.
Thank you Digger, you maintain a great site.
Awesome idea! Any way to add the name of the blog (linked to the blog) with each post? It would be great to see where the posts come from without having to go to each original post. Will be reading often!
If you hover over the post’s title it will give you the URL of the blog. Thanks for reading Natalie!
Really cool! Added a link to my site…will check back frequently!
How is this that I”m just hearing about this site… Nice updates here!
Thank you Jill, the blog is really large and has been buggy at first but seems to be running smooth nowadays. If I knew why, I would take credit.

Wow, this is really cool! Thank you for putting it together. I have added you to my blog roll.
Hi: Thanks for doing this. Would love to get my newish blog on the roll. Should get more interesting in the coming weeks.

Hi there – hoping you will consider linking to my blog as well. We’re just embarking on our FS journey, and I’m going to be the big bad evil wife who drags her gainfully employed hubby into the nomadic FS life. FSO mum with reluctant trailing husband – what a story.
Either way, really enjoy this aggregator. Thanks!
Can I be added?
EFM with two kids, currently working as an A/CLO in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Adding you to the blogroll.
Done…thanks for contacting me. Where did you have to serve to get yourself sent to Costa Rica?
You made it to the State Blog Roundup. If you don’t want to be on it, then please let me know! Follow this link to reach the roundup:

Enjoy!
Love the site! I have linked you to my site – you have made it so easy to find new blogs.
Thanks!

Hey! To the Admin: I would love to be listed on this blogregator if possible. I’m a new FSO starting A-100 in Sept 2010. You can find my blog at http://www.thelifediplomatic.com. Contact me if you have any questions!
In your “about” section, it says:
“To contact the administrator of this site send a message to the Admin at http://www.FSOTForums.net.”
I did so twice over a two week period, but still have not received a response. Please respond. Thanks.
Done Andrew.
I have not received any messages from you on the forum Para. I sent you an email though. To anyone else that has been trying to reach me or wondered why things have been so slow recently I have been out of the country for the last couple of months, most of the time without internet access.
Admin: Thanks! If you want to add a short description next to the link, you’re welcome to do so! Maybe this:
A young, new FSO starting a new adventure.
Andrew,
The description is an automated feed from your own blog. If it isn’t showing up on here then make sure that there is not somewhere on your blog to enter that detail. It should update about 4 hours later on this site. Thanks again for contributing.
Hi Admin,
Couldn’t figure out how to email you without creating an account on the other site. Can you add me to the blogroll? Female FSO, currently in Kabul. Thanks!
Done. Don’t be afraid to create an account on the forum, it is a very quick process. I look forward to catching your posts from Kabul!
Awesome site! I don’t know if you’re interested, but since you’re running wordpress I thought I’d share. I use the Link Library plugin to maintain my links page, and it’s really helpful for people to suggest a link through a little form at the end of the page. You’re not running exactly the same thing, but it might be convenient. Thanks for collecting and maintaining this site – I think it’s great.
Thanks for the suggestion Melissa, I’ll look into adding that into the site this week. It sounds like a useful plugin.
Just started one at http://diploimmunity.blogspot.com/
joining the FS this year would like to get placed on here as well thanks!
Gotcha…thanks for contacting me. The feed should update within a couple hours.
