Time To Clean Out The Blog Roll!
Thursday, June 4, 2009 2:54 | 169 viewsSo I believe it’s time to hammer down and get some construction going on to rebuild a new blog roll.
So all the dead links will be deleted since they don’t go any place at all except to the deep dark secrets of the inter webs, the advertisers will be deleted since there isnt any real content that is really interesting to the rest of the blogging world and myself, and I am also going to go as far as removing the NON-Commenters because if you don’t feel that commenting here is worth your time, then it’s not worth my time to blog roll you and make the time of day worth your while either.
If you want to become part of the new blog roll, then get interactive. Blog Roll me, visit often, comment often, and I’ll do the same. The way I see it is, that in the real world, If I have to site and listen to another person talk all day and not get a word in edge wise, then why am I even having the conversation with you in the first place. Communication is a Two or more way interaction. You give and you receive, and the same goes for your receive and you’ll give.
Wanna stay on the blog roll? Then stay active, don’t be a stranger, keep your site interesting and up to date so I’ll have something to read at work.
I hope it doesn’t piss people off if they find that they were removed from the blog roll. I’m just going to rip the crap out of it since there are a lot of dead links and inactive blogs, and that isn’t good as far as screen space goes. I may even consider a rewards program that rewards frequent updaters and commenters with placing their blog links in a TOP 10 blog roll. This will operate on a you comment more, you get cookie, you update your blog more, you get more cookies, rewards system.
So I guess what I’m saying is, keep your own blog up to date, and/or keep commenting here. I frequently visit the folks on my blog roll, and so far the links are disappearing fast. I need some new and fresh links. Please contribute! No commercial, or porn please. send porn URL to comment form in the contact me form err. umm yea..
I want to keep a blog roll on my side bar, it makes easy access to my friends and favorites, plus it gives readers alternate portals to get their dose of UFI!
Write more, comment more, and get rolled up into a big pile of poo and plastered all over my site!
UPDATE:
Keepers wil be… so far;

- Aussie Feral’s Blog
- Corey’s Blog
- Dragon Lady’s World
- John Raul Dot Com
- Skye`S The Limit

“I have been using my blog roll to access blogs that I like and try to visit to see what the hell is going on in different parts of the world, but what I have been finding out lately is that a lot of them on my blog roll have either died and disappeared off the face of the galaxy, or simply have chosen to go completely…”
I concur. I check every-other month or so…

@Butch – WOW! For a second there I thought you were a spammer.
I read my own thing till I saw:
.. The quick tags help.. Next time use them Butch.
They’re just highlight and click ones.
Well, anyway, keep the blog roll flowing. right? LOL

Wow – what an awesome animation! You are too good, Mac! I love it! And of course, I totally agree with you on all your points of the blogroll and that is why I changed how I do mine. Now I can see who really puts more effort into commenting at my blog. I don’t expect people to come comment every day, but to stay “active” as you said. Cool.

@teeni – I’ll probably remove the normal blog roll and just rename the Top Commenter one to be the Blog roll and display top 10 or 20. Like your I believe.

@teeni – I thought you would have gotten a kick out of how your link in the animation avoids the jack hammer and jump on top.
