Link Love

If there is one thing I have heard over and over about my blog it is this:

Too many links in the blogroll!

My blogroll has grown to such crazy lengths because of several things:

1. I read a lot of blogs
2. I skim a lot of blogs
3. I have a lot of friends with blogs
4. I meet a lot of people with blogs
5. There are a lot of people at Riverview with blogs
6. I like to share what I am reading with others

Because of all of this, I am implementing a new blogroll strategy. On the sidebar, I am going to include a few blogs that fall into a tight filter:

1. Daily Reads
2. Daily Skims

I will slap this up in the next day or two and update it from time to time. This will not include a lot of my friend’s personal blogs because although I read them on a regular basis, most people don’t click on their links from my site. I still have a blogreader that I read them in.

I am also implementing two new features to my blog (we’ll see how long I keep up with them).

1. A comprehensive blogroll (including friends) on it’s own separate page. You can click here to view that blogroll. I also have a link to this on my sidebar.
2. A weekly review of a blog that I think everyone should check out. This was a common request on my last roll call, so I thought it would be worth a shot. I’ll start that in a few days, too, and I’ll link to a list of these featured blogs soon thereafter.

Let me know what you think of this new strategy or if you think I should tweak it in some way. Mostly, the inter-phase of this blog is for those who read it, not me, so I want to make sure I serve y’all well.
