What a strange word 'meme' is. What are its origens?
Anyway, Natalie d'Arbeloff has done it to me in her Blaugustine's Other Blog and I'm very honoured that she should use one of her seven notable sites (from her huge blogroll) to mention my embryonic one. Thank you, Natalie.
Now in turn I have to list my seven favourite things and my seven favourite blogs. Many of the blogs I like are also on Natalie's blogroll, since that is where I found them in the first place. My seven favourite things, at the moment, are:
Listening to my son play the piano
Picking a lemon fresh from the tree
Walking in the garden and smelling any fragrant herbs
Hearing my cats pur
Eating avocado and crusty brown bread
Watching rainbows chase around the room from the crystal in the window
Reading 'Pied Beauty' by Gerard Manley Hopkins

Comes from the Greek word "mimema" (something imitated, as in "mimesis", "mimetic", etc). It's use was popularised by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976) . He uses evolutionary models to explain how cultural phenomena reproduces.
I meant to write "Its use" rather than "it's use." Apologies.
Thanks for taking up the challenge, Linda, I like your list and your links.
Ernesto,
Thanks for taking the time to give the definition of meme. Linda.
