		<description><![CDATA[<p>I met this morning with two Chinese Sea Turtles: both recent graduates of the University of Michigan. They are part of the organizing team for a new NGO with a powerful mission. They are tasked with providing teachers and training for 100 children orphaned by the Sichuan earthquake and now living in Beijing, aiding schools in the quake zone that have teacher needs, and the giving of time and talent to a hospital for young amputees in Chengdu.</p>

<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/er_pa_final2.jpg" alt="library project china" width="500" height="375" /></p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>I recently received some information from Tom, our friend from the Library Project, sent us some fantastic news about the Library Project and its latest developments.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/nl_image_top_03.gif" alt="library project china" width="300" height="237" /><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/nl_image_fall2007.jpg" alt="china children charity" width="300" height="237" /></p>
<p>&#8220;The past three months have far exceeded the The Library Project&#8217;s goals and expectations. There is so much to share &#8211; from our new home in Xi’an, China to an incredible list of schools benefiting from our support &#8211; so let’s get started.</p>
<p>&#8220;In September, The Library Project donated our first library to a Chinese countryside elementary school.  The Xin Xing Elementary School is located an hour outside of Xi&#8217;an, in the ShaanXi Province. Over 500 students in grades 1-6 attend the Xin Xing Elementary School. During our pre assessment we discovered the school library&#8217;s uninviting environment and general lack of age appropriate books. Most of the books in the existing library were written for high school or university students with a total of less than 50 children’s books for grades 1-3.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/img_1172.jpg" alt="chinese children xian" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>&#8220;The Library Project provided 500 children’s books for grades 1-3 and a child-safe reading area with comfortable and colorful furniture. We provided a wide range of children’s books including: history, science, short stories, fairy tales, “pinyin” books for very young readers, children’s dictionaries, children’s reference books, and an assortment of comic books. We also provided a full set of children’s encyclopedias for older students. Every book was in full color and of the highest quality. The Library Project provided colorful child-safe tables and chairs, posters and a globe to populate the previously empty room. Once the library was completed, we held a party to celebrate our accomplishments with the children. Twenty “star” students were chosen to participate in arts, crafts and games. One of our activities had the children draw their “dream library”. We learned that most children want a library located outside consisting of colorful books which float in the air. (We&#8217;re working on that concept for a future library.)</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/img_1183.jpg" alt="xian library" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Without a doubt The Library Project has improved the level of education that the Xin Xing Elementary School provides to its students.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/img_1211.jpg" alt="children charity china" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>&#8220;We didn’t stop there. In October The Library Project completed a phenomenal feat of donating three libraries in three days. The libraries are located at three different elementary schools in the countryside of Xi’an: the Si Qing Elementary School, Bai Lu Yuan Elementary School and Mi Cun Elementary School. Furthermore, all the items donated were upgraded from our previous library. We provided higher quality books, better seating, sturdy wooden tables and bookshelves custom made at a local factory, and we even found cacti and plants to put on the tables and shelving.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/250px-xian_location.png" alt="china map xian" width="250" height="197" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Providing three libraries in three days pushed us both mentally and physically. We had a team of over 20 volunteers helping with the delivery of the materials, setting up furniture, sorting books, and playing games with the kids in their new library. Through our experiences we learned this one simple fact: that when The Library Project arrives in a countryside school, the students go absolutely crazy. The madness usually begins when we pull up in our large truck and the children come running out of their classrooms.</p>
<p>&#8220;For our next goal, I need your help. In the past we have benefited one school at a time and now we are looking to help an entire school district. We want to make a clear IMPACT on the level of education an entire school district will be able to offer its students. Our first school district we would like to help will be the Ba Qiao School District (the same school district where our last three elementary schools were located).</p>
<p>&#8220;The Ba Qiao School District is an hour outside of the Xi’an city center. This area was hit very hard by the closure of state run factories over the past twenty years. Because of the closures and the lack of work, the average annual income is less than 2,000 RMB ($266), and there is very little hope that things will change for the better in the future. To learn more about the Ba Qiao School District, please click here.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you are interested in Adopting a Library or adopting a group of schools through our Adopting a School District programs, please click <a href="http://www.library-project.org/adoptafuturelibrary.html">here</a> for more information. You can also send me an email at [*tom@library-project.org* ] to ask any questions about the library adoption process.</p>
<p>&#8220;Furthermore, our website has been updated and improved to help both large and small donors have a better idea of exactly how their financial contributions are put to work. We also added an Adopt a Library page for those who would like to provide an entire elementary school with a library. The page also contains information on the Ba Qiao School District. Everyone who donates to the Adopt a School or Adopt a School District programs will receive a Library Completion Report for the specific library that you supported, along with a beautiful hardcover book celebrating our past libraries and the communities and schools we have worked in.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am very happy to announce two new additions to The Library Project&#8217;s team. Jenny Wang is our first full time employee in China. Jenny is from Hunan Province and has lived in Xi&#8217;an for the past ten years. A short list of some of her accomplishments these past few months have been getting us a 20 &#8211; 65% discount on children&#8217;s books at the country&#8217;s largest chain of bookstores, managing our growing list of partners in China, spearheading the completion of our first four libraries in Chinese countryside elementary schools, and doing non-stop assessments of schools and orphanages. Welcome aboard Jenny!</p>
<p>&#8220;I am also very happy to announce that Kevin Kruse has joined our Board of Directors. Kevin Kruse joined in August and has been an incredible addition to the team. Kevin has been instrumental in helping create a solid business foundation for The Library Project. He was also our first donor to support our Adopt a School District program. To learn more about Kevin, please check out his bio by clicking <a href="http://www.library-project.org/team.html">here</a>. Welcome Kevin!</p>
<p>&#8220;Lastly, please check out some of our new products for the holiday season. We created 50 book, 100 book, 250 book and 500 book gift cards available at $1 a book. Each card also has a beautiful picture of a past library we have donated. The gift cards are a perfect holiday gift idea. To check out our new online store, please click <a href="http://www.library-project.org/store.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Your help is greatly appreciated. Click <a href="http://www.library-project.org/donate.html">here</a> to make a donation and help give the gift of education and opportunity to a child in Asia. As a result of your donation you will receive photos and a Library Completion Report on the library you helped make a reality. Your donation truly does make a difference.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Library Project is a non-profit organization. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your kind support of our efforts.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Thomas Stader<br />

<p>&#8220;In September, The Library Project donated our first library to a Chinese countryside elementary school.  The Xin Xing Elementary School is located an hour outside of Xi&#8217;an, in the ShaanXi Province. Over 500 students in grades 1-6 attend the Xin Xing Elementary School. During our pre assessment we discovered the school library&#8217;s uninviting environment and general lack of age appropriate books. Most of the books in the existing library were written for high school or university students with a total of less than 50 children’s books for grades 1-3.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/img_1172.jpg" alt="chinese children xian" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>&#8220;The Library Project provided 500 children’s books for grades 1-3 and a child-safe reading area with comfortable and colorful furniture. We provided a wide range of children’s books including: history, science, short stories, fairy tales, “pinyin” books for very young readers, children’s dictionaries, children’s reference books, and an assortment of comic books. We also provided a full set of children’s encyclopedias for older students. Every book was in full color and of the highest quality. The Library Project provided colorful child-safe tables and chairs, posters and a globe to populate the previously empty room. Once the library was completed, we held a party to celebrate our accomplishments with the children. Twenty “star” students were chosen to participate in arts, crafts and games. One of our activities had the children draw their “dream library”. We learned that most children want a library located outside consisting of colorful books which float in the air. (We&#8217;re working on that concept for a future library.)</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/img_1183.jpg" alt="xian library" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Without a doubt The Library Project has improved the level of education that the Xin Xing Elementary School provides to its students.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/img_1211.jpg" alt="children charity china" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>&#8220;We didn’t stop there. In October The Library Project completed a phenomenal feat of donating three libraries in three days. The libraries are located at three different elementary schools in the countryside of Xi’an: the Si Qing Elementary School, Bai Lu Yuan Elementary School and Mi Cun Elementary School. Furthermore, all the items donated were upgraded from our previous library. We provided higher quality books, better seating, sturdy wooden tables and bookshelves custom made at a local factory, and we even found cacti and plants to put on the tables and shelving.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/250px-xian_location.png" alt="china map xian" width="250" height="197" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Providing three libraries in three days pushed us both mentally and physically. We had a team of over 20 volunteers helping with the delivery of the materials, setting up furniture, sorting books, and playing games with the kids in their new library. Through our experiences we learned this one simple fact: that when The Library Project arrives in a countryside school, the students go absolutely crazy. The madness usually begins when we pull up in our large truck and the children come running out of their classrooms.</p>
<p>&#8220;For our next goal, I need your help. In the past we have benefited one school at a time and now we are looking to help an entire school district. We want to make a clear IMPACT on the level of education an entire school district will be able to offer its students. Our first school district we would like to help will be the Ba Qiao School District (the same school district where our last three elementary schools were located).</p>
<p>&#8220;The Ba Qiao School District is an hour outside of the Xi’an city center. This area was hit very hard by the closure of state run factories over the past twenty years. Because of the closures and the lack of work, the average annual income is less than 2,000 RMB ($266), and there is very little hope that things will change for the better in the future. To learn more about the Ba Qiao School District, please click here.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you are interested in Adopting a Library or adopting a group of schools through our Adopting a School District programs, please click <a href="http://www.library-project.org/adoptafuturelibrary.html">here</a> for more information. You can also send me an email at [*tom@library-project.org* ] to ask any questions about the library adoption process.</p>
<p>&#8220;Furthermore, our website has been updated and improved to help both large and small donors have a better idea of exactly how their financial contributions are put to work. We also added an Adopt a Library page for those who would like to provide an entire elementary school with a library. The page also contains information on the Ba Qiao School District. Everyone who donates to the Adopt a School or Adopt a School District programs will receive a Library Completion Report for the specific library that you supported, along with a beautiful hardcover book celebrating our past libraries and the communities and schools we have worked in.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am very happy to announce two new additions to The Library Project&#8217;s team. Jenny Wang is our first full time employee in China. Jenny is from Hunan Province and has lived in Xi&#8217;an for the past ten years. A short list of some of her accomplishments these past few months have been getting us a 20 &#8211; 65% discount on children&#8217;s books at the country&#8217;s largest chain of bookstores, managing our growing list of partners in China, spearheading the completion of our first four libraries in Chinese countryside elementary schools, and doing non-stop assessments of schools and orphanages. Welcome aboard Jenny!</p>
<p>&#8220;I am also very happy to announce that Kevin Kruse has joined our Board of Directors. Kevin Kruse joined in August and has been an incredible addition to the team. Kevin has been instrumental in helping create a solid business foundation for The Library Project. He was also our first donor to support our Adopt a School District program. To learn more about Kevin, please check out his bio by clicking <a href="http://www.library-project.org/team.html">here</a>. Welcome Kevin!</p>
<p>&#8220;Lastly, please check out some of our new products for the holiday season. We created 50 book, 100 book, 250 book and 500 book gift cards available at $1 a book. Each card also has a beautiful picture of a past library we have donated. The gift cards are a perfect holiday gift idea. To check out our new online store, please click <a href="http://www.library-project.org/store.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Your help is greatly appreciated. Click <a href="http://www.library-project.org/donate.html">here</a> to make a donation and help give the gift of education and opportunity to a child in Asia. As a result of your donation you will receive photos and a Library Completion Report on the library you helped make a reality. Your donation truly does make a difference.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Library Project is a non-profit organization. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your kind support of our efforts.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Thomas Stader<br />

		<description><![CDATA[<p>This is the China Dreamblogue, a home for the wandering adventures of Yanzhi and Dawei.  For the next year, we will make our way across China and speak with people from every ethnic group and every province in China about their life, customs, and traditions.  Our goal is to create an understanding of China in full and to create a life on the internet for China that matches the diversity and beauty of China&#8217;s people, customs, culture, and tradition.  We will include photos, cartoons, maps, stories, recipes, interviews, and heartsongs on topics as varied as Chinese astrology, Chinese cooking, humor, and other inter-cultural issues.</p>
<p>As we travel, we also have other missions to complete.   We will create blog posts about our journey, but we also want people from all over the world to participate in this blog by sending us photos,  maps, information, captions, cartoons, comments, and anything else you want to add.  In addition, you will have a chance to vote on where we go next.</p>
<p>A slogan we have at the Blog of Dreams is &#8220;One Dream, One Web.&#8221;  This slogan reflects one of the goals of the Dreamblog: to create space for fair, open, and honest exchange about China.  Too much of the Western world focuses on the negative about China.  We want to support net neutrality&#8211;making space on the Internet for positive news about China.</p>
<p>We also want to use this blog to generate money&#8230;for charity.  As this blog grows in internet power, it will generate more and more advertising revenue.  We want to make sure this money goes towards people in China who need it most.  We&#8217;ve created a system where we won&#8217;t touch the money&#8211;it will go directly to the people doing the work to make life in China a better place for deserving people who cannot afford items we take for granted&#8212;like books.  We will include profiles of groups we give to, like Volunteer English Teachers, The Library Project, and The League of Extraordinary Chinese Women.  We will also have a system where you can send money through our site to different charities that do work in China.</p>
<p>One of our goals is to create a dream list: we will ask people to submit their dreams and if ad revenues support it, we will grant their wish.</p>
<p>Finally, we want to create a better and stronger internet presence for China.  We can do this and help you out with Link It Forward, a unique way we&#8217;ve created to build a stronger internet presence and network throughout China.</p>
<p>Join us on our journey to give China and its people an electronic introduction to the global internet community.</p>
<p>OUR #1 GOAL IS TO BE THE TOP RANKED SITE FOR LINKS AND FAVORITES IN TECHNORATI. HELP BY CLICKING THE FAVORITES LINK AND BY GETTING OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. ALSO LINK TO US AND JOIN OUR LINK IT FORWARD CAMPAIGN. THERE IS A BADGE ON THE SIDEBAR YOU MAY DOWNLOAD AND USE ON YOUR SITE!</p>
<p>WE NEED EDITORS, PHOTO REVIEWERS, TRANSLATORS, PR HELPERS, AND LINK MASTERS. IF YOU  ARE INTERESTED LEAVE A COMMENT. IT WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED, BUT WE WILL CONTACT YOU!</p>

<p>This link is now on the front page&#8230;.Leave your comments there please!</p>
<p>One of the goals of the China Dreamblogue is to create a strong, pro-China internet presence on the Internet. To do this, we need your help. And as we create our China friendly network, we would also like to help the people who help us get to the top of the rankigs.  The process is simple and powerful.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve created an idea called Link it Forward, similar to <a href="http://www.virtual-china.org/2006/08/and_now_a_meme_.html">internet memes</a>.  &#8220;Link it Forward&#8221; will travel rapidly through pro-China blogs. In addition, this idea will help to create links&#8211;potentially thousands&#8211;to your website.</p>
<p>There are six simple steps:</p>
<ol>
<li> Take the two lists of blogs below these instructions and put them in a post on your blog.  The first list of three blogs, <a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a>, <a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a>, and <a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a>, should always remain on the list.</li>
<li>On the second list, put a link to <strong>your</strong> blog at number 1.</li>
<li>Move each of the other links down one step on the list.  The first blog becomes second, the second becomes third, etc.</li>
<li>This means the number 5 link has successfully completed its cycle.</li>
<li>Send your updated list to at least five other people and as many as you want.  The more people you send to, the more links you will get.  If you have a hundred people you want to send this to, go ahead!</li>
<li>If you want, create a new list of five blogs you think deserve some links. Be kind and include the permanent list as well.</li>
</ol>
<p>Remember, please don&#8217;t change the permanent links or add a number six link.  Also, all of the advertising money generated from the permanent links goes to charity.  You are free to do as you will with the money you earn from Link It Forward. We will list some places you can go to monetize your site.</p>
<p>Permanent List:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://blogofdreams.com"></a></p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/"></a></p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The Moveable list:</p>
<blockquote><p>Your blog</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>four of your friends&#8217; blogs</p></blockquote>
<p>The numbers work out well for you.  You will have approximately five rounds on the list.</p>
<blockquote><p>On the first round, you&#8217;ll get five links.</p>
<p>On the second, you&#8217;ll get 25 (each of the five people you sent the list to will get five more people to put your link on their site).</p>
<p>The third round nets you 125, the fourth 625, and the fifth 3,125.</p></blockquote>
<p>Your grand total (should everyone follow Link it Forward) will be 3,905 links. And if you get linked to again by another blog, you can start the process all over again to earn another 3,000 links. With a few thousand links, you can begin to generate money from your site via Google Adwords. Go to Google Adwords button at the bottom of this site now to begin to monetize your site.</p>
<p>This is for fun. This is to promote positive value for pro-China blogs in Western search engines, to raise money for China charities and needy people on the three permanent blogs (they donate their ad monies to charity) and to make China blogs more popular all over the Internet.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s link it forward!</p>
<p>To monetize your site click on the links provided on the front page of <a href="http://blogofdreams.com">Blog of Dreams</a></p>

<p id="yiv1652477724">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">China Dreamblogue的其中一个目标是在因特网上创建一个强大的，支持中国的互联网。实现这个目标，我们需要你的帮助。在我们建造我们中国的友好互联网的同时，我们将会帮助那些支持我们的人，把他们的博客推到网络排名的最前列。这个过程既简单又有效。</p>
<p align="center">我们已经有一个构想，称为“链接在一起”（Link it Forward），与“网络媒母”（internet memes）相类似。“Link it Forward”（ 链接在一起）会以很快的速度在支持中国的博客上移动。另外，这个构想可以使你的网站的链接数量增加几千个以上。</p>
<p align="center">以下是六个简单的步骤：</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>按照以下的说明列两组博客的目录然后放到您的博客上。第一组名单是三个固定的博客：Onemanbandwidth, The China Dreamblogue, 和Sinotrading。这三个博客的连接必须永远的保留和不可改变。</li>
<li>在第二组上，把您自己的博客连接放在目录的第一位上。</li>
<li>把所有在第二组目录上的连接排名依次向下移动一位。即排第一的移到第二位，排第二的移到第三位等等（第五位的移到第一位）。</li>
<li>这就是说排第五的应该要完成一个循坏回到第五的位置上。</li>
<li>将你的更新了的列表发给至少5个其他博客。您发的越多，您就能获得更多的链接。如果您有一百个人，那就快点去做吧。</li>
<li>如果您想的话，还可以另外创建一个您认为有价值的列表。请也同样包括那个不变名单（即onemanbandwidth, china dreamblogue 和 sinotrading）</li>
</ol>
<p align="center">请记住，不要改动或者改变第一组名单和不要在第二组名单上加上第六个链接。同样，通过第一组名单所得到的广告收益将用作慈善用途。而从第二组“link it forward”上所得的收益将有您自己支配。我们会为您列举一些能够推算您自己网站价值的地方。</p>
<p align="center">第一组（长期不变得目录）：</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Onemanbandwidth</u></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://blogofdreams.com//" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>The China Dreamblogue</u></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Sinotrading</u></a></p>
<p align="center">第二组（可更新的目录）：</p>
<p>                              您的博客</p>
<p align="center">您朋友的博客</p>
<p align="center">如果理想的话，您大约会有比从前翻5倍的链接量。</p>
<p align="center">第一个循环，您会得到5个链接。</p>
<p align="center">第二个循环您会得到25个链接（跟您建立链接的那5个人每人会给您带来5个新的链接）</p>
<p align="center">第三个循环您会有125个链接，第四个有625，第五个有3，125个。</p>
<p align="center">如果每个人都按照Link it Forward的方法，您最后会得到3，905个链接。如果您同时又跟其他博客建立同种方法的链接，您将会得到另外3，000多个的链接。有了这上千个的 连接，您就能从Google Adwords（Google搜索引擎营销）那里得到相应的收益了。现在就请按本页底部的Google Adwords按钮来看一下您的网站的价值吧。</p>
<p align="center">这是为了兴趣；这是为了提高中国博客在西方搜索引擎的排名；这更是为了中国的慈善事业出一分力（因为限定组中的3个博客将会把全部广告收益捐献给中国的慈善机构）；同样也能增加中国博客在互联网上的知名度。</p>
<p align="center">让我们一起link it forward(链接在一起)吧！</p>

<p>This link is now on the front page&#8230;.Leave your comments there please!</p>
<p>One of the goals of the China Dreamblogue is to create a strong, pro-China internet presence on the Internet. To do this, we need your help. And as we create our China friendly network, we would also like to help the people who help us get to the top of the rankigs.  The process is simple and powerful.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve created an idea called Link it Forward, similar to <a href="http://www.virtual-china.org/2006/08/and_now_a_meme_.html">internet memes</a>.  &#8220;Link it Forward&#8221; will travel rapidly through pro-China blogs. In addition, this idea will help to create links&#8211;potentially thousands&#8211;to your website.</p>
<p>There are six simple steps:</p>
<ol>
<li> Take the two lists of blogs below these instructions and put them in a post on your blog.  The first list of three blogs, <a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a>, <a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a>, and <a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a>, should always remain on the list.</li>
<li>On the second list, put a link to <strong>your</strong> blog at number 1.</li>
<li>Move each of the other links down one step on the list.  The first blog becomes second, the second becomes third, etc.</li>
<li>This means the number 5 link has successfully completed its cycle.</li>
<li>Send your updated list to at least five other people and as many as you want.  The more people you send to, the more links you will get.  If you have a hundred people you want to send this to, go ahead!</li>
<li>If you want, create a new list of five blogs you think deserve some links. Be kind and include the permanent list as well.</li>
</ol>
<p>Remember, please don&#8217;t change the permanent links or add a number six link.  Also, all of the advertising money generated from the permanent links goes to charity.  You are free to do as you will with the money you earn from Link It Forward. We will list some places you can go to monetize your site.</p>
<p>Permanent List:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://blogofdreams.com"></a></p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/"></a></p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The Moveable list:</p>
<blockquote><p>Your blog</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>four of your friends&#8217; blogs</p></blockquote>
<p>The numbers work out well for you.  You will have approximately five rounds on the list.</p>
<blockquote><p>On the first round, you&#8217;ll get five links.</p>
<p>On the second, you&#8217;ll get 25 (each of the five people you sent the list to will get five more people to put your link on their site).</p>
<p>The third round nets you 125, the fourth 625, and the fifth 3,125.</p></blockquote>
<p>Your grand total (should everyone follow Link it Forward) will be 3,905 links. And if you get linked to again by another blog, you can start the process all over again to earn another 3,000 links. With a few thousand links, you can begin to generate money from your site via Google Adwords. Go to Google Adwords button at the bottom of this site now to begin to monetize your site.</p>
<p>This is for fun. This is to promote positive value for pro-China blogs in Western search engines, to raise money for China charities and needy people on the three permanent blogs (they donate their ad monies to charity) and to make China blogs more popular all over the Internet.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s link it forward!</p>
<p>To monetize your site click on the links provided on the front page of <a href="http://blogofdreams.com">Blog of Dreams</a></p>

<p align="center">China Dreamblogue的其中一个目标是在因特网上创建一个强大的，支持中国的互联网。实现这个目标，我们需要你的帮助。在我们建造我们中国的友好互联网的同时，我们将会帮助那些支持我们的人，把他们的博客推到网络排名的最前列。这个过程既简单又有效。</p>
<p align="center">我们已经有一个构想，称为“链接在一起”（Link it Forward），与“网络媒母”（internet memes）相类似。“Link it Forward”（ 链接在一起）会以很快的速度在支持中国的博客上移动。另外，这个构想可以使你的网站的链接数量增加几千个以上。</p>
<p align="center">以下是六个简单的步骤：</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>按照以下的说明列两组博客的目录然后放到您的博客上。第一组名单是三个固定的博客：Onemanbandwidth, The China Dreamblogue, 和Sinotrading。这三个博客的连接必须永远的保留和不可改变。</li>
<li>在第二组上，把您自己的博客连接放在目录的第一位上。</li>
<li>把所有在第二组目录上的连接排名依次向下移动一位。即排第一的移到第二位，排第二的移到第三位等等（第五位的移到第一位）。</li>
<li>这就是说排第五的应该要完成一个循坏回到第五的位置上。</li>
<li>将你的更新了的列表发给至少5个其他博客。您发的越多，您就能获得更多的链接。如果您有一百个人，那就快点去做吧。</li>
<li>如果您想的话，还可以另外创建一个您认为有价值的列表。请也同样包括那个不变名单（即onemanbandwidth, china dreamblogue 和 sinotrading）</li>
</ol>
<p align="center">请记住，不要改动或者改变第一组名单和不要在第二组名单上加上第六个链接。同样，通过第一组名单所得到的广告收益将用作慈善用途。而从第二组“link it forward”上所得的收益将有您自己支配。我们会为您列举一些能够推算您自己网站价值的地方。</p>
<p align="center">第一组（长期不变得目录）：</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Onemanbandwidth</u></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://blogofdreams.com//" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>The China Dreamblogue</u></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Sinotrading</u></a></p>
<p align="center">第二组（可更新的目录）：</p>
<p>                              您的博客</p>
<p align="center">您朋友的博客</p>
<p align="center">如果理想的话，您大约会有比从前翻5倍的链接量。</p>
<p align="center">第一个循环，您会得到5个链接。</p>
<p align="center">第二个循环您会得到25个链接（跟您建立链接的那5个人每人会给您带来5个新的链接）</p>
<p align="center">第三个循环您会有125个链接，第四个有625，第五个有3，125个。</p>
<p align="center">如果每个人都按照Link it Forward的方法，您最后会得到3，905个链接。如果您同时又跟其他博客建立同种方法的链接，您将会得到另外3，000多个的链接。有了这上千个的 连接，您就能从Google Adwords（Google搜索引擎营销）那里得到相应的收益了。现在就请按本页底部的Google Adwords按钮来看一下您的网站的价值吧。</p>
<p align="center">这是为了兴趣；这是为了提高中国博客在西方搜索引擎的排名；这更是为了中国的慈善事业出一分力（因为限定组中的3个博客将会把全部广告收益捐献给中国的慈善机构）；同样也能增加中国博客在互联网上的知名度。</p>
<p align="center">让我们一起link it forward(链接在一起)吧！</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;In China many families live in extreme poverty.          This is especially true of the mountain villages of the Guilin/Yangshuo          area of Guangxi Province where many farm families live a meager existence          on a bit of land. They struggle to pay the school fees for their children          to go to the local elementary school.&#8221;</p>
<p align="right">&#8211;from the <a href="http://www.vet-china.org">Volunteer English Teaching Program</a></p>
<p align="right">&nbsp;</p>
<p>China teems with travel wonders and   woes.  I had made plans with friends to head to Vietnam for the Chinese New Year and ended up, because of visa troubles, in Yangshuo, Guanxi province, home of the <a href="http://yangshuomountainretreat.com">Yangshuo Mountain Retreat</a> and the unbreakable <a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/?p=146">Chun Li</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://yangshuomountainretreat.com/gallery/waterpool.jpg" title="Yangshuo" alt="Yangshuo" height="434" width="327" /></p>
<p>While the trip was a cascade of logistic mishap after mishap, the beauty of the karsts and the uniqueness of the people I met&#8211;from a Guangzhou leather factory owner to a crew of Dutch HKU students&#8211;all gave me reason to be thankful for my fiasco.</p>
<p>During my stay in Yangshuo, I had the good fortune to meet Laurie Mackenzie, a man who, like me, is an accidental expat:  he decided to come to China on little more than a whim.  A retired professor and former officer in the Canadian army, he&#8217;s been here for five years building a network of schools and volunteers to help poor villagers and children learn English skills.  But he is not on a mission of religion, Americanization, or exploitation&#8211;he is on a mission of heart.</p>
<p><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/6.gif" title="Laurie MacKenzie"><img src="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/6.gif" alt="Laurie MacKenzie" height="150" width="200" /></a></p>
<p>Yangshuo is dense with tourists almost year-round, and its offers of spectacular scenery, excellent mountain climbing and hiking trails, and good-quality, inexpensive food and lodging draw tourists not just from China but all over the world.  By offering economically disadvantaged children and families English lessons and opportunities for sometimes-shy Chinese children and adults to interact with foreigners, MacKenzie opens up economic possibilities for these families and children.  MacKenzie also works tirelessly to secure donations that allow for these students to purchase the basic resources they need for school&#8211;pens, paper, books, and other supplies.  &#8220;Poor schools do not have resource materials,&#8221; says MacKenzie on the <a href="http://www.guilin-yangshuo.com/VET/faqs.htm"> Volunteer English Teachers</a> website.  &#8220;Classroom equipment is a sheet of plywood painted black and some coloured            chalk. It is often impossible for parents to buy the note books, pencils            etc. that every pupil needs.&#8221;  MacKenzie, his wife, and his volunteer staff of Anglophones from around the world do everything they can to help these motivated children realize their potential.</p>
<p><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/the_choir.jpg" title="VET Chinese Child Choir"><img src="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/the_choir.jpg" alt="VET Chinese Child Choir" height="150" width="200" /></a></p>
<p>Children at the VET schools learn oral English through games, songs, and activities like choirs (as seen above).  I end this article with  some words from MacKenzie about why he chose to begin this work and why he continues:</p>
<p>&#8220;The cycle of poverty can only be broken through education. Poor peasant            farmers struggle to pay the annual school fees for their children to            go to primary school but very, very few can afford the higher costs            of sending the children to Junior Middle School or beyond. We know that            if the children can learn to be comfortable with foreign visitors and            speak some English they will be able to get work. Volunteer English            Teachers are committed to helping these children realize a better future. &#8220;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>The China Dreamblogue is a project undertaken by two American teachers to provide educational opportunities for people in China. We are doing this because we want to help people to achieve the dreams that they haven&#8217;t been able to. Hence our name is The China Dreamblogue.</p>
<p>中国载梦博客是由两位美国教师组建，为了给中国学生提供教育机会的一个计划。我们这样做是为了帮助人们实现他们如今还没有实现的愿望。因此我们的名字叫中国载梦博客</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left" align="left"> <img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/cdbstampbig.jpg" alt="Travel China Blog for Charity and Understanding" height="199" width="241" /></p>
<p>Our project has 4 major parts:<br />
我们的计划由几个主要部分组成：</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Traveling</strong>: First, Yanzhi Liu and I will be traveling to the 22 provinces of mainland China over the course of the next 12-16 months. We will visit and interview at least one person from every ethnic group and from every province to find out about their lifestyle, their beliefs, and their hopes and ambitions for themselves and others. We will post these interviews on the Dreamblogue for you to read.</li>
<li><strong>Free Scholarships: </strong>Yanzhi and I are giving away scholarships that will allow students to study abroad in the UK and the US.</li>
<li><strong>China information: </strong>Yanzhi and I will be posting regular information about China on this blog. Yanzhi and I have found that Westerners&#8217; understanding of China is often darkened by news reports that focus on the negative parts of China. We will be putting up information here on the blog that seeks to find the interesting, curious, good parts of Chinese culture and highlight them here.</li>
<li><strong>Money for Charity: </strong>Yanzhi and I are raising money for two charities, Thomas Stader&#8217;s <a href="http://www.library-project.org">Library Project</a> and Terry Dougherty&#8217;s <a href="http://www.thereadingtub.com">Reading Tub</a>. We will be raising money by selling advertising on the Blog of Dreams and giving away the advertising money to Thomas and Terry directly through a Feedburner account. Yanzhi and I will never touch the money.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>行程：</strong>在接下来的12-16个月中<strong>，</strong> 刘彦志和我将会游历中国大陆22个省份。在去到每一个民族的地区的时候我们将会采访该民族的人，了解他们的生活方式、信仰、愿望、理想等等。我们将会将这些采访刊登在“载梦博客”上供大家阅读参考。</li>
<li><strong>免费奖学金：</strong>彦志和我将会发放奖学金供同学们去英国和美国留学。</li>
<li><strong>中国信息：</strong>彦志和我将会定期发布关于中国的信息在这个网站上。我们发现西方人对中国的理解经常遭到新闻报纸的误导，因为它们专注于报导中国消极方面的信息。我们将会把中国有趣的、奇特的事物、事件或中国文化积极的方面和它们最精彩的方面放上这个博客。</li>
<li><strong>慈善基金：</strong>我们将为两个慈善机构筹集基金：Thomas Stader的图书馆计划和Terry Dougherty的读书俱乐部筹集善款。我们将把载梦博客的广告收入通过账户直接捐给Thomas和Terry.</li>
</ol>
<p>How you can help (and don&#8217;t worry, none of these cost you a dime):<br />
你们怎样帮助我们呢？（放心，不需花费你们分钱）</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Blog your dreams</strong>. It&#8217;s simple. Go the form the the bottom of this page (and at the end of most posts, and fill out your dream. You can send your dream as a photo, video, text, or any other medium you can imagine. It can be a big dream or a small one. We are currently looking for sponsors who will be able to help fund your dream.</li>
<li><strong>Visit the site often.</strong> The more people visit, the more hits and pageviews the site gets, and the more money we can charge advertisers. More money will go to charity. We&#8217;ll be sure to have fresh content for you to come back to every day.</li>
<li><strong>Send us your photos.</strong> Over the course of the Dreamblogue journey, we&#8217;ll be sponsoring a photo contest for both professionals and amateurs, with prizes for the photos who get the most votes.</li>
<li><strong>Favorite us on Technorati. </strong>There is a little green button you can click on that says, &#8220;fave this blog technorati.&#8221; We are trying to generate publicity for our project by becoming the most favorited blog in the world on Technorati. Click on the button, register as a member (don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s free and spam-free), and click on the button one more time on our site to move us one step closer to our goal.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: SimSun"></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: left" align="left"><a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;add=http://blogofdreams.com"><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/btn-fave2.png" alt="Favorite the China Dreamblogue on Technorati" height="15" width="80" /></a><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: SimSun"></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: left" align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The China Dreamblogue is a project undertaken by two American teachers to provide educational opportunities for people in China. We are doing this because we want to help people to achieve the dreams that they haven&#8217;t been able to. Hence our name is The China Dreamblogue.</p>
<p>中国载梦博客是由两位美国教师组建，为了给中国学生提供教育机会的一个计划。我们这样做是为了帮助人们实现他们如今还没有实现的愿望。因此我们的名字叫中国载梦博客</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left" align="left"> <img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/cdbstampbig.jpg" alt="Travel China Blog for Charity and Understanding" height="199" width="241" /></p>
<p>Our project has 4 major parts:<br />
我们的计划由几个主要部分组成：</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Traveling</strong>: First, Yanzhi Liu and I will be traveling to the 22 provinces of mainland China over the course of the next 12-16 months. We will visit and interview at least one person from every ethnic group and from every province to find out about their lifestyle, their beliefs, and their hopes and ambitions for themselves and others. We will post these interviews on the Dreamblogue for you to read.</li>
<li><strong>Free Scholarships: </strong>Yanzhi and I are giving away scholarships that will allow students to study abroad in the UK and the US.</li>
<li><strong>China information: </strong>Yanzhi and I will be posting regular information about China on this blog. Yanzhi and I have found that Westerners&#8217; understanding of China is often darkened by news reports that focus on the negative parts of China. We will be putting up information here on the blog that seeks to find the interesting, curious, good parts of Chinese culture and highlight them here.</li>
<li><strong>Money for Charity: </strong>Yanzhi and I are raising money for two charities, Thomas Stader&#8217;s <a href="http://www.library-project.org">Library Project</a> and Terry Dougherty&#8217;s <a href="http://www.thereadingtub.com">Reading Tub</a>. We will be raising money by selling advertising on the Blog of Dreams and giving away the advertising money to Thomas and Terry directly through a Feedburner account. Yanzhi and I will never touch the money.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>行程：</strong>在接下来的12-16个月中<strong>，</strong> 刘彦志和我将会游历中国大陆22个省份。在去到每一个民族的地区的时候我们将会采访该民族的人，了解他们的生活方式、信仰、愿望、理想等等。我们将会将这些采访刊登在“载梦博客”上供大家阅读参考。</li>
<li><strong>免费奖学金：</strong>彦志和我将会发放奖学金供同学们去英国和美国留学。</li>
<li><strong>中国信息：</strong>彦志和我将会定期发布关于中国的信息在这个网站上。我们发现西方人对中国的理解经常遭到新闻报纸的误导，因为它们专注于报导中国消极方面的信息。我们将会把中国有趣的、奇特的事物、事件或中国文化积极的方面和它们最精彩的方面放上这个博客。</li>
<li><strong>慈善基金：</strong>我们将为两个慈善机构筹集基金：Thomas Stader的图书馆计划和Terry Dougherty的读书俱乐部筹集善款。我们将把载梦博客的广告收入通过账户直接捐给Thomas和Terry.</li>
</ol>
<p>How you can help (and don&#8217;t worry, none of these cost you a dime):<br />
你们怎样帮助我们呢？（放心，不需花费你们分钱）</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Blog your dreams</strong>. It&#8217;s simple. Go the form the the bottom of this page (and at the end of most posts, and fill out your dream. You can send your dream as a photo, video, text, or any other medium you can imagine. It can be a big dream or a small one. We are currently looking for sponsors who will be able to help fund your dream.</li>
<li><strong>Visit the site often.</strong> The more people visit, the more hits and pageviews the site gets, and the more money we can charge advertisers. More money will go to charity. We&#8217;ll be sure to have fresh content for you to come back to every day.</li>
<li><strong>Send us your photos.</strong> Over the course of the Dreamblogue journey, we&#8217;ll be sponsoring a photo contest for both professionals and amateurs, with prizes for the photos who get the most votes.</li>
<li><strong>Favorite us on Technorati. </strong>There is a little green button you can click on that says, &#8220;fave this blog technorati.&#8221; We are trying to generate publicity for our project by becoming the most favorited blog in the world on Technorati. Click on the button, register as a member (don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s free and spam-free), and click on the button one more time on our site to move us one step closer to our goal.</li>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>One of the many goals of the China Dreamblogue is to create a strong, pro-China internet presence in the blogosphere. To do this, we need your help. And as we create our pro-China network, we would also like to help the people who want to be part of this network by giving them a way to increase their SEO power and their ability to monetize their site. Sound complicated and difficult? The process is deceptively simple and powerful.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve created an idea called link it forward. Similar to the <a href="http://www.virtual-china.org/2006/08/and_now_a_meme_.html">internet memes</a> and <a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/02/thinking-blogger-awards_11.html">the Thinking Blog tag</a> that recently moved through a number of English-language blogs about China, our idea will travel rapidly through pro-China blogs. In addition, this idea will help to create links&#8211;as many as four thousand&#8211;to your site through a trickle-down method.</p>
<p>There are five simple steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Take this list of 8 blogs and put them in a post on your blog.  The first three blogs, <a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a>, <a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a>, and <a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a>, remain on the list.</li>
<li>At the top of the moveable list, put a link to your blog.</li>
<li>Remove the link from the bottom of blog.</li>
<li>Send your updated list to at least five other people.</li>
<li>If you want, create a new moveable list of five blogs you think deserve some links. Be kind and include the permanent list as well.</li>
</ol>
<p>Perma-List:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a></li>
<li><a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a></li>
<li><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The Moveable list:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.haohaoreport.com/">The Hao Hao Report</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.zonaeuropa.com/weblog.htm">East South North West </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.calpolymbatrip.com/">The Cal Poly MBA Trip</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.chinalawblog.com/">China Law Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://china.notspecial.org/">The Opposite End of China</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The numbers work out well for you.  You will have approximately five rounds on the list.  On the first round, you&#8217;ll get five links.  On the second, you&#8217;ll get 25 (each of the five people you sent the list to will get five more people to put your link on their site).  The third round nets you 125, the fourth 525, and the fifth 2,625.  Your grand total (should everyone follow Link it Forward) will be 3,305 links.  And if you get linked to again by another blog, you can start the process all over again to earn another 3,000 links.</p>
<p>To monetize your blog or site please click on the links found on the front page of this blog.</p>

<p align="center">China Dreamblogue的其中一个目标是在因特网上创建一个强大的，支持中国的互联网。实现这个目标，我们需要你的帮助。在我们建造我们中国的友好互联网的同时，我们将会帮助那些支持我们的人，把他们的博客推到网络排名的最前列。这个过程既简单又有效。</p>
<p align="center">我们已经有一个构想，称为“链接在一起”（Link it Forward），与“网络媒母”（internet memes）相类似。“Link it Forward”（ 链接在一起）会以很快的速度在支持中国的博客上移动。另外，这个构想可以使你的网站的链接数量增加几千个以上。</p>
<p align="center">以下是六个简单的步骤：</p>
<ol type="1">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the many goals of the China Dreamblogue is to create a strong, pro-China internet presence in the blogosphere. To do this, we need your help. And as we create our pro-China network, we would also like to help the people who want to be part of this network by giving them a way to increase their SEO power and their ability to monetize their site. Sound complicated and difficult? The process is deceptively simple and powerful.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve created an idea called link it forward. Similar to the <a href="http://www.virtual-china.org/2006/08/and_now_a_meme_.html">internet memes</a> and <a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/02/thinking-blogger-awards_11.html">the Thinking Blog tag</a> that recently moved through a number of English-language blogs about China, our idea will travel rapidly through pro-China blogs. In addition, this idea will help to create links&#8211;as many as four thousand&#8211;to your site through a trickle-down method.</p>
<p>There are five simple steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Take this list of 8 blogs and put them in a post on your blog.  The first three blogs, <a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a>, <a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a>, and <a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a>, remain on the list.</li>
<li>At the top of the moveable list, put a link to your blog.</li>
<li>Remove the link from the bottom of blog.</li>
<li>Send your updated list to at least five other people.</li>
<li>If you want, create a new moveable list of five blogs you think deserve some links. Be kind and include the permanent list as well.</li>
</ol>
<p>Perma-List:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a></li>
<li><a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a></li>
<li><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The Moveable list:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.haohaoreport.com/">The Hao Hao Report</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.zonaeuropa.com/weblog.htm">East South North West </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.calpolymbatrip.com/">The Cal Poly MBA Trip</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.chinalawblog.com/">China Law Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://china.notspecial.org/">The Opposite End of China</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The numbers work out well for you.  You will have approximately five rounds on the list.  On the first round, you&#8217;ll get five links.  On the second, you&#8217;ll get 25 (each of the five people you sent the list to will get five more people to put your link on their site).  The third round nets you 125, the fourth 525, and the fifth 2,625.  Your grand total (should everyone follow Link it Forward) will be 3,305 links.  And if you get linked to again by another blog, you can start the process all over again to earn another 3,000 links.</p>
<p>To monetize your blog or site please click on the links found on the front page of this blog.</p>

<p align="center">China Dreamblogue的其中一个目标是在因特网上创建一个强大的，支持中国的互联网。实现这个目标，我们需要你的帮助。在我们建造我们中国的友好互联网的同时，我们将会帮助那些支持我们的人，把他们的博客推到网络排名的最前列。这个过程既简单又有效。</p>
<p align="center">我们已经有一个构想，称为“链接在一起”（Link it Forward），与“网络媒母”（internet memes）相类似。“Link it Forward”（ 链接在一起）会以很快的速度在支持中国的博客上移动。另外，这个构想可以使你的网站的链接数量增加几千个以上。</p>
<p align="center">以下是六个简单的步骤：</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>按照以下的说明列两组博客的目录然后放到您的博客上。第一组名单是三个固定的博客：Onemanbandwidth, The China Dreamblogue, 和Sinotrading。这三个博客的连接必须永远的保留和不可改变。</li>
<li>在第二组上，把您自己的博客连接放在目录的第一位上。</li>
<li>把所有在第二组目录上的连接排名依次向下移动一位。即排第一的移到第二位，排第二的移到第三位等等（第五位的移到第一位）。</li>
<li>这就是说排第五的应该要完成一个循坏回到第五的位置上。</li>
<li>将你的更新了的列表发给至少5个其他博客。您发的越多，您就能获得更多的链接。如果您有一百个人，那就快点去做吧。</li>
<li>如果您想的话，还可以另外创建一个您认为有价值的列表。请也同样包括那个不变名单（即onemanbandwidth, china dreamblogue 和 sinotrading）</li>
</ol>
<p align="center">请记住，不要改动或者改变第一组名单和不要在第二组名单上加上第六个链接。同样，通过第一组名单所得到的广告收益将用作慈善用途。而从第二组“link it forward”上所得的收益将有您自己支配。我们会为您列举一些能够推算您自己网站价值的地方。</p>
<p align="center">第一组（长期不变得目录）：</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Onemanbandwidth</u></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://blogofdreams.com//" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>The China Dreamblogue</u></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Sinotrading</u></a></p>

<p>                              您的博客</p>

<p align="center">如果理想的话，您大约会有比从前翻5倍的链接量。</p>

<p align="center">这是为了兴趣；这是为了提高中国博客在西方搜索引擎的排名；这更是为了中国的慈善事业出一分力（因为限定组中的3个博客将会把全部广告收益捐献给中国的慈善机构）；同样也能增加中国博客在互联网上的知名度。</p>
