I stumbled across your site while doing research for an article on Alabama schools. I found your blogs to be very interesting and informative.
I have a website called educationbug.org where we have a lot of great information on education and we also feature each individual states school systems. The Alabama link has articles, reviews, and information on public schools, private schools, colleges, and all of the school districts.
I noticed you have a blog roll and would like to ask if you would mind putting a link to our site there.
Thanks!
