Holy freaking cow, I LOVE doing this. SOOO many interesting blogs, SOOO little time!! Arrgh … read on …
I’d like to take a moment to direct you to my blogroll (in sidebar, near the bottom). I just spent a significant amount of time going through the Blogger Chicks blogroll the other day and picked out close to 50 60 new blogs to add to my blogroll; I deleted the ones I had on there before.
I didn’t remove them because I was no longer interested, I’m trying to rotate links so that technorati will find them and list them. Apparently, technorati drops any links to your blog that are six months or older.
So, your rank may look great now, but if you don’t attain any new links and your old ones fall off, your rank goes down. I’ve noticed a significant drop in my rank over the past month or so. In an effort to help spread the link love, I thought clearing my blogroll and adding fresh links might benefit bloggers everywhere.
And as an added bonus, I’m discovering a ton of new blogs! I can’t tell you how much fun I have exploring dfferent voices, looks, and issues. It really feeds the writer in me.
So, my question to you is, when is the last time you updated your blogroll? Do a little housecleaning, refresh your blogroll, spread the link love.
If you’re new to the blogroll and happened to follow your links back to me, WELCOME!
HERE’S AN IDEA:
Why not share my blogroll? That way, these good bloggers will get even MORE links (if you post the blogroll code to your blog - it doesn’t have to be in your sidebar, post it on a page) and it’ll save you time from having to hunt for awesome new blogs to read. I update my blogroll every other month, so it’ll constantly change and provide you with fresh material.
If you’re interested in spreading the link love, please copy and paste this code either to your sidebar, or to a page on your blog:
(script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript” src=”http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=1e2d0793046deaa46b9935cc42dd3c2b”>(/script)
Please note: You’ll need to change the first parenthesis ( in front of script to this sign: < And replace the parenthesis around /script to these <>
I had to replace these signs in order for the code to show up. Also, wordpress.com blogs will not accept javascript (the last time I checked, anyway), so if you have a wordpress.com blog, this probably won’t work for you.
Sorry, I don’t have time to offer technical support, so if the code doesn’t work for you, thank you for trying.
To celebrate “Teen Read Week (Oct 14-20),” YALSA and Readergirlz have organized “31 Flavorite Authors for Teens,” a month-long schedule of authors available to chat with teens via Readergirlz group forum. Teens everywhere will have a chance to hobnob with the likes of Mitali Perkins (10/20), Lisa Yee (10/22), Cynthia Leitich-Smith (10/29) and many others. Something they won’t want to miss out on!
