Welcome to the Complete VROC Blog List
The list of blogs in the sidebar of my personal blog was becoming just to large to load quickly so, at Tom's suggestion, I have moved it over to a separate location. If anyone knows of a VROC related blog that isn't listed here, please Email me at skid1850@gmail.com and I'll add it.
