As a side project to distract myself from all my current dramalamadingdong, I decided to freshen up my blog space this weekend. Doing so caused me to study more carefully a wide range of other blogs.
… So apparently, (and feel free to get in your time machine, go back to 2008, and correct me if I’m wrong) blogrolls aren’t a thing so much anymore. The horror, people! The horror and sadness.
(Let me get out my Pepperidge Faaaaarms milano cookies and reminisce about the times in which you could find a bunch of new and weird and counter-culture blogs just by nosing around long enough on a page of links. Do you rememba that time? Because Pepperidge Farms does.)
As such, if you 1) have a blog 2) that’s been updated in 2014 and which 3) has a blogroll somewhere on it, I will LINK YOUR ASS UP on my new retro blogroll. Offer good until I get 15 links. Then I’m shutting it down because I’m not into spending my MLK day cutting and pasting.
Show me your awesome blogs, internets.
LINK MY ASS UP for old times sake.
Me too. Here is my ass. Link it up good.
Um.
I remember blogrolls! I used to surf through them, adding RSS feeds left and right! I stopped having one when people started getting their feelings hurt if they weren’t included on it, and EMAILING ME TO ASK HOW THEY’D OFFENDED ME OMG. But I do miss them. (Blogrolls, I mean. Not the strange emails.)
I would totally have jumped at this a couple of years ago, but considering it’s been that long since I’ve posted on my blog it seems a little silly! The third kid just kicked my ass and now I barely have time to read blogs. But I’m with you–I love blogrolls and I think it is sad that people don’t have them anymore. I found many of my favorite bloggers that way, including you, from A Little Pregnant.
Ahh! at first I was all, “Hem-ly Day! Anne has updated her bloggy!” when I saw an indicator in my Bloglines feed. Then I realized that I don’t even look around any mores, so I had no idea that my mouldering URL was so passé. Then I realized, no matter how ya slice it, I don’t really blog so it doesn’t matter.
Bah!
I HAVE BLOGGED IN 2014!!!
(This is big news for me, I was teetering on the quittin’ side)
I deleted my blogroll (same as swistle) when I started getting the emails asking WHY AM I NOT ON YOUR BLOGROLL HOW DID I OFFEND??
Blogrolls are how I find this wonderful slice of the InterWebs! And then, of course, you hooked me with your candid, heartbreaking, lyrical writing. 🙂
Would feel honored if you wanted to list my blog. Bonus – I have blogged this year! I have also done laundry! So, all in all, I feel pretty on top of my ‘ish.’
Link my ass! Link it good
MEEEEEEEEEE!
I miss blogrolls. However the last time I blogged I was several months pregnant and now I have a three month old and I’m even less likely to do it again (blogging, I mean, though being pregnant again isn’t seeming too likely either).
