I’m at it again.
Don’t ask me why my blogroll has vexed me so ghoulishly these past several months, but it has. And I won’t stand for it anymore.
Lacking time now consumed greedily by my employer (and for which they pay me, so I shan’t complaint), I’ve realized I’m not keeping up with my favorite blogs as easily as I’d like. I’m still reading them all—my one rule for blogrolling, as you know, is that I won’t link to one that I don’t actually visit regularly. It’s just that I’m finding it somewhat difficult to keep up with all of them given the new demands for my precious twenty four hours.
But wait! There’s more…
I scramble about the intertubes visiting new blogs, and I do this often. Most of the new finds are those linked to by blog carnivals (e.g., Carnival of the Cats, Good Planets, Friday Ark, Carnival of the Trees, etc.). Others I find by perusing the blogrolls of sites I already enjoy (based, of course, on the premise that someone I like will undoubtedly link to someone else I’ll like). All of this discovering can be tiring. More importantly, it far too often lands me in the position of wanting to add blogs to my already bloated list.
Does blog gluttony stop me? Hell no!
Which brings me back to this undeniable capriciousness with the blogroll…
I’m in the process of adding and removing sites again. The same reasons apply now that have always applied. Some I’ve grown weary of, some no longer offer anything I want, my interests change over time, and so on and so forth and yadda yadda yadda…
So rather than bore you with speaking up each time I make changes—as though doing so requires some public announcement—I’m simply going to state now for the record that my blogroll is considered a dynamic element here. Sites will come and sites will go. I’ve imposed a virtual limit of 200 sites and am trying desperately not to approach it. If I go over it, I’ll admit myself to a rehab center.
Meanwhile, consider yourselves warned that the blogroll is now in perpetual flux and will be that way… er… uh… perpetually.
