Sure.

To summarise:

1. post your contribution to your blog
2. send me the details of the contribution and I'll compile the link list
3. post the link list at the bottom of your contribution

The reason for doing it that way is because with some blogging software you 
don't know the actual URL of the post until you've posted it.

To make it easier to compile the list I'm asking everyone to send details of 
their post in this form:

NA Poster's name
BL Poster's blog name
TI Title of your post
URL Url of your post
REL Your religious background
EM Your e-mail address

If you use that format -- with the preceding tags in capital letters followed 
by a single space, and each piece of information on a separate line (it can 
word-wrap), I will be able to import it straight into a database without re-
typing, and produce a report with the HTML code for the links which can then 
be appended to your post.

I don't see why you shouldn't -- you can just add the list of links to it 
when it is updated. 

Or you could write an introductory note that points to it, and add the list 
to that. That means casual visitors to your blog will still see it -- 
otherwise they are unlikely to look for old posts. I think I'll be doing 
something like that myself, since I wrote some posts on interreligious 
dialogue about a year ago.
