Housecleaning and opening the door for the newcomers

I have sorely neglected my blogging here lately, concentrating more on promoting my book than anything else. Of course, over the last two-plus years, I have moved from trying to be a worldly news commentator to being a snarky inaniac™ to being a creative entertainer to being an author trying to get people to buy something fantastic.

I still want to urge you to buy a copy of my book. I can promise you that it is worth the money you have to pay to get your own copy and worth the time you'll spend reading it.

Now, for the reason I was writing this post. For some reason, I decided to do a bit of housecleaning in my main blogroll: 1) taking out all those Munuvians, as all are already listed in the Munuvian roll; 2) deleting all those blogs that have since gone defunct; and 3) axing any blog that has not been updated since 12/31/2004. I was sad to find so many great bloggers have gone on to greener pastures, thinking they had just moved to another location and I was too late to find the marker to tell me where to go. If you were on the roll and are no longer there, I apologize. There was no malice in my removal of anyone from the list.

Of course, having now removed a couple of dozen blogs from the roll, I would love to add a couple of dozen new ones to it. Here's the scoop. Leave a link in the comments telling me why you should be added to my blogroll. I'll check the blog of every such commenter, paying attention to the following details: how long you have been blogging, whether your posts are interesting; the topics upon which you post, and the type of blogging service you use. [All Munuvians are ineligible because they are already on the Munuvian roll, and, if you are a Texas blogger and do not currently appear on the Texas roll, you are entitled to a spot there upon request.]

Also, as I was going through the list, seeing who was still around, I found a couple of memes that I felt worthy of my participation and have included my returns on those in the extended entry.

Hmm, seems I have suspected this for a long long time:

You scored as Gunshot. Your death will be by gunshot, probably because you are some important person or whatever. Possibly a sniper, nice, quick, clean shot to the head. Just beautiful.

I have just finished reading your book. It is fantastic!!! I will be writing a review of it on the Lulu site when it is available. It seems to be down for maintenance at the moment. I will certainly be encouraging others to buy your book. Have you ever thought about turning it into a screen play? It would make a great movie!!!!
