no, not what you were thinking, but just checked out every blog in my blogroll today and trimmed it quite a bit. I deleted a lot of fine blogs, but found that I seldom read them, or if I even checked, I seldom found anything of interest. As I have said time and time again, those blogs on my blogroll are the blogs I read. Of course, now that I have cleared up some of the space, I suppose there are a few I could add. I think there have been a few people who have blogrolled me over the last few days that I have not recognized, and am sure many of these will find a place on that esteemed blogroll. However, as the damn Ecosystem still seems to be fragged, I cannot find the new ones who have linked to me. If you have done so and are not blogrolled, feel free to leave a comment and let me know.
In completely other news: Hey, I need two things, deperately: First off all, does anyone have any pull with blogrolling.com? Isn't that like Dave Winer or someone. I am almost positive my readership would increase insurmountably if my blog would show as updated on people's blogrolls. Secondly, if any of you template gurus would like to assist me in redesigning to a 3 column format so that I could add a bit of stuff on the right side of the blog entries, I would appreciate it. Also, if I could get some tips on how to change my .css file so as to add some spiffy borders or something to snazz up the place, I would likewise be eternally grateful. I am thinking of a black on orange, Tiger type of motiff. Of course, I am not sure how that will play in real life, but isn't experimentation the key to happiness?
Posted by Tiger at August 9, 2003 08:19 PM | TrackBackGlad to see I'm still on there. The Ecosystem is completely "fragged" again this morning...I am showing one link, and to add insult to injury, it's the link from monkey-boy!
Posted by: Jennifer at August 10, 2003 05:56 AMHey, be thankful for that one link because it could dissappear just as easy.
...no, wait, I'd need to edit my template. That was an idle threat.
Posted by: Frank J. at August 10, 2003 11:10 AMOdd how that works. I've got two from IMAO and one from USS Clueless.
Tiger, I can send you my template and CSS files. Though you might not want to do the three columns the way I did it, 'cause now I have different stylesheets for IE and Mozilla. Bleah.
Posted by: Pixy Misa at August 10, 2003 11:15 AMDo what? You mean they still haven't gotten all the cross-platform bugs worked out? George! Tell me more.
Posted by: Tiger at August 10, 2003 11:27 AMYeah--this has nothing to do with blogrolling.com. It's a function of pinging weblogs.com.
It is helpful to show up "updated" but I'm not sure it will add *that* much to your readership. Lileks, Brad DeLong, and a lot of other big names don't do it.
If you decide not to change your index name, you can always do it manually. It's pretty damned easy--just save the link name and click the link.
clicking this updates OTB.
