the blog administrator is available

I cannot join blog networks, How can I be part of it
At least for the time being We are keeping comments Section open for anyone, so you
need not necessarily have an account in the blog network to post your words in comments
section

Are you trying to say that by visiting your blog, I can learn entire Word Lists
YES & NO, as every time you post you are supposed to post ten words at a time, means
you are at least glancing at ten words
Start with the first post, read it, understand the clues, try to remember the words
Paste the words without their meanings in a Word Document or Notepad and try to
guess the meaning yourself
After every ten words revise and after every hundred words revise
Keeping returning to the Words learnt and reinforce your knowledge
In SHORT if you want you can surely take advantage of the blog

Why cannot we refer to our notes, while posting Words

some more important words arranged very well&&&post link&&&&

same notes & so that everything is in order

Can I refer any other notes too

words which you learn in this blog would help you when you are learning from any other book
