New to IndiBlogger

Greetings lads and lasses,

I am new to Indiblogger(Be Gentle :) ) though not new to blogging, having done the same for a little over 8 years now. I presently run a restaurant review/event/Travel Blog called as Grubzone and would love to meet more bloggers of the same niche around me.

P.S : The first thing I noticed was a lot of Network adds as soon as my nlog was approved? Is this normal?

Cheers,
