BLOGGERS I HAVE TAGGED:
Unfortunately I could find only five bloggers with less than 200 followers. Even now I am totally not sure; some of the blogs I have tagged may have more followers. I could have added many, many blogs to my list but most of them have 200+ followers. I guess I could dig around and find more but I am kind of running short on time here so sorry about that. Hope it’s okay.
