I made some minor changes to the template. First, I ordered the UAE blogs I link to into active and inactive. I got this idea from SecretDubai, and it is such a brillant idea I had to use it. And really, isn't stealing the sincerest form of flattery?
Second, I have (finally) added links to a couple of blogs by Emiratis. Anything Blogable! is Bu3askoor's blog. He has added to this blog with his comments on several posts. He covers a wide range of issues, you should check it out. An Emirati's Thoughts is a new blog that SecretDubai pointed out. He has a some interesting thoughts on the relationship of the UAE and the other Gulf states, as well as other things. Since all the other blogs I have linked to have been from the expat point of view, these two give a different perspective on life here in the UAE.
This blog began as a description of our life in Al Ain, UAE (United Arab Emirates). Brn worked at the UAE University Libraries Deanship for three years and Bss homeschooled our four children, D, B, P, and O. After returning to the the USA for five years, we are living in Abu Dhabi now.

I'm glad it was a useful idea!
I think the Essays guy is still blogging, but he's no longer in Dubai.
A few of us were speculating that the reason he had so many problems was reflected in his isolationist personality online: he never enabled comments or provided any email or means of contact for himself. There are quite a few people online who would have helped him out if they could have - but he never gave people the chance. It's kind of sad. I thought he might have done it when he left but he doesn't seem to have. He also never (as far as I know) commented on anyone else's blog. Strange.
