Sounds great, I'm actually quite liking the idea of giving out my own address, myself. <br />I think mentioning gifts in our own thing is kind of moot, if we're not up for it. If people think of sending gifts, then they can do that, but if not then they don't.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-57974937501151234462012-05-20T16:53:34.529+01:002012-05-20T16:53:34.529+01:00I was big into letter writing for many years but f...I was big into letter writing for many years but fell away from it when I began blogging. I miss getting letters in the mail. So, I am interested! I am big on privacy and like the idea of only giving out my own address. I also like your idea of a separate blog. I would ne in it for the letters too. I am not crafty at all and sending gifts can get expensive. Maybe leave gifts as optional?Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-64995708804565903612012-05-20T16:52:25.080+01:002012-05-20T16:52:25.080+01:00That's awesome, thank you! :)That's awesome, thank you! :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-46429894489864483092012-05-20T16:47:24.281+01:002012-05-20T16:47:24.281+01:00I personally love this idea.

Maybe underneath each bio there could be an email link - "request address" with a subject for the specific blogger included, which goes straight to the person with the addresses. They'll have to confirm within that email that they're a member, and the person with the addresses will be responsible for double checking.<br /><br />OR there is no address keeper. Blogger A sends an email about writing to Blogger B that goes to whoever is upholding the blog, they then pass the email on to Blogger B, who can then check out Blogger A, and decide for themselve whether they share their address or not. If they want to, they email Blogger A themselves, if not, so there aren't any issues, they email blog upholder saying no, who emails back Blogger A to say Blogger B declined the penpal request. Does that make sense? Might be a better way to do it, only YOU decide who gets your address.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-30120731708431507572012-05-20T16:29:51.422+01:002012-05-20T16:29:51.422+01:00Definitely up for this.
