Hello,
I have built more than 30 special websites called Squidoo Lenses. These are more than just simple websites because you can add your links to them without my help or even permission. I have had them up for over a year and in some cases they rank higher than www.SpongoBongo. com or www.PersianCarpetGuide.com If you have a website visit my Squidoo Lens and link to your site. Then add a link from your site to the Lens. If you link from yours to mine and mine to yours then you will be surprised at how effective the links can be. By the way if you link to yours and do not return the link it is not nearly as effective.
Please visit: http://www.Squidoo. com/lensmasters/ JBOC
If you are interested in linking strategies let me know.
Best wishes,
Barry O'Connell

I started two new sections: Yomud Rugs, Yomud Bags, Yomud Carpets and Teke/Tekke Rugs, Tekke Bags, Tekke Carpets

God bless him Walter Denny is a good fellow. I keep writing pages on Walter and somehow I lose them. I just found this one and I thought I would post it here before I lose it again. Notes on Professor Walter Denny

I spotted some Rug Blogs that I enjoyed. let me know if you spot any good one.

One rug collector I know has a great site that features his collection of Edison Phonographs. If you dig you can find pictures of his rug collection but his main focus is the products of the Edison Speaking Phonograph Company, the Edison Phonographs and the Edison cylinders as well as the Edison Posters.

We just got some rain and we had a little flooding in front of our house. Rather than complaining about the weather or staying inside and play board games my Mickey got out and went for a bike ride. This picture made the front page of our local paper. We are getting settled into our new home and are beginning to enjoy small-town life.

Contact Information

Electronic mail address (I generally answer everyone who sends me a Telephone number. It is easier to call anywhere in the world then send email. If you want to send email then send it to Oriental Rug Questions. I hate to sound harsh but I am a poor working man with a family and three jobs. This is just a hobby so I rarely answer questions any more. If you send images I am far more likely to look if you zip them.

Send your phone number to JBOC@SpongoBongo.com .
