My Blogroll

So, is it a sign you've made it in the blogging world when you suddenly start getting emails from folks wanting you to blogroll them? The last few weeks, I've been having that happen. For me, it's odd since I've never asked someone to link to me, and now I'm getting emails asking me to link to them. Why haven't I ever asked? I dunno, it makes me uncomfortable I guess. Like I'm being vain or immodest. I'm still boggled at how many people do link to me.

Anyway, this was supposed to be about my blogroll. My blogroll is like my bookmark list, only public. The blogs I link to are blogs I read *regularly. And I'm always adding and subtracting depending on my time and mood any given month. These days, I usually (though not always) discover new blogs either through following a link from a commenter, or a commenter on someone else's blog. If I'm not reading your blog, it isn't because I think you suck, honest. There's just so much time in day is all.

So I guess the upshot is: comment, participate, and if I find myself going over to your blog a lot, I'll end up adding you to my blogroll. The most recent example of that is Whomping Willow. She comments a lot on a couple of blogs I read regularly, and I kept finding myself clicking through to her blog from those comments pretty much every time. So on the blogroll she went.

I guess that about covers it.

* "regularly" being anywhere from every few hours to every week to ten days.
