Anyone know how to put a "my other blog" widget on my wordpress.com blog? hmmmm. am definitely thick?

You could use the SimplePie RSS feed widget/add-on to show your other blog within a page of your first blog.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
