I have been noticing blogrolls lately. I have a blogroll on our other blog, but it’s more for convenience than anything. I can just click and I am there. I know that the blogroll is supposedly so others can discover your blog. Because after all that is what you want is for others to see your blog unless of course you make it private and that is whole other story. What are the rules of a blogroll? Are there any? Do you put blogs on the roll that you like even if you don’t know the person. I am assuming, yes, because that’s what all bloggers want, right? What if you were on a blogroll, but now you are not. What happens then? If it is someone you know, do you ask them about it and say hey, what’s the deal? I found this definition on a website about blogrolls – A blogroll is a listing of websites that often appear as links on weblogs. This list of links is used to relate the site owner’s interest in or affiliation with other webloggers. That sounds simple enough. Does anybody ever feel blogroll evny? Does anybody ever keep a count? I have to admit to feeling blogroll envy every once in awhile. I look at my list and then see someone else’s and I always feel my roll is smaller than their’s. I guess it’s all relative anyway. Hmm… what about comments? I guess I will save that one for another day.
Funny! Yes, I’ve had blogroll issues!!! By the way, I got a snicker out of the name you assigned to Lincoln’s Blog . . . “Brother Stevens deployment blog” or something like that!!! IT’S OKAY!!! I just got a snicker out of it!! Isn’t it fun to do dectective work to find people’s blogs . . . today my sister found a cousin of ours and I just added her to my blog list . . . . you kind of wonder if they would mind . . .but it is the Internet, and the blog isn’t private . . . . so there really shouldn’t be problem. I hope!!
So is a blogroll kinda like all the friends one has on Facebook? Some you know and some you don’t but it’s the amount that matters? Man oh man! If that’s the case them I’m gonna be on the bottom of all numerical lists everywhere!
Hi, Jana! It’s ironic because I actually found you thanks to someone else’s blogroll–though I think you gave me your blog address awhile ago. I don’t even have my own blogroll yet because I’m still figuring out how to do all that stuff. But when I do get one, I’ll add you. Fun to read your posts.
Guilty…I am so lame but I fixed it…are we friends again?
