My blogroll was long overdue for a makeover. As you all know, the rules are: comment regularly and ye shall be put on the blogroll. But oh, what a headache to keep track of all that myself! Enter a neat little piece of code that keeps track of that for me. You comment, and it automatically adds a nice little linky to you over on my sidebar. Yay!
The only problem is that I want to break my own rules. Ok, actually, I did break my own rules a little, because the Junky's Wife has been my blogging BFF since I started blogging almost two years ago, so she will always get a link even if she's too pretty to comment anymore. And also Bev, because I said way back that I'd link to her even if she didn't comment. See! I've broken the rule twice already. And I really want to break it some more times. Because some of the very wonderful relationships I've built -- and some of the blogs I stalk most relentlessly -- are not on there. And I know some people lost track of me when I moved to the new URL.
On the other hand, I don't at all want to break my own rules. I hate playing favorites. And I like having a way to reward the wonderful community of folks who write on my virtual bathroom wall, as well as a snappy response to those creepy spammers who beg me to link to them, like I'm some kind of cheap blogging one night stand. (Don't try to win my heart by commenting either, people with the virtual marketing-hair. You go straight to my spam folder.)
In the end, I've decided to let the rules stand for the time being -- no matter how hot or hilarious or real life friend (sh! don't tell) a blogger you are. Thank you all so much for being here. Enjoy the new (automated!) blogroll. I know I will!
