This is a sticky post

… so it (should) stay at the top of the page for awhile. I’m still writing! Don’t be like me, looking at the sticky entry, and thinking “Gosh, this person hasn’t updated in a week!” only to discover later that you are a dink.

Anyway. This is my semi-annual call for links. No, not for you to link to me, no worries.

I’ve explained this before– I have the attention span and memory of a gnat. Therefore, remembering blogs to go to is hard for me, unless I’ve got you over on my list of links. I find most of my reads through my referrals page– if you link to me, I go and read you, and it’s fun, and then I don’t get a hit from your site for a few days, and I totally forget to read your page, and then I go through life thinking “Hmm. There was a blog I was reading. But I don’t remember what it was”. And, of course, I only remember to check my referrals page like, once a month or something.

SO! If you link to me, if you read me, and you’re not already on my links list (and I’ve noticed that I have a few on there who have stopped blogging but I so hate to take them down!) leave a comment or email me, and let me know. Then I’ll link you, and then I’ll remember to read your blog, and I won’t be driven completely insane by my own bad memory.

Thank you.

    I still check in daily. I’ve you bookmarked so I’m not sure if you’d see my blog as a referer.

    I hate taking down dead links, too. Waistdog was one of my favourite bloggers – he died last year, but I still can’t bring myself to remove his link. :(

    You’re in my RSS feed, and I’m working on my blogrolls. I hope you will return to my site. :D

    Don’t know whether this is of any help, but I have a similar attention span and memory problem. So what I’ve done is listed the URLs in Favourites (on Explorer) – all in a Folder entitled “good blogs”.

    Iggy, above, mentioned bookmarking, but … I haven’t found a way on Netscape to create a folder of similar blogs. (Dragging them together into a consecutive grouping takes too long.)

    A possible low tech solution would be to make a list of blog titles (and the reason they are interesting or what problem they address, etc.) and tape it in plain sight somewhere.

    As you already know, I’ve moved blogs. Jingles and Things is kaput. :)
