About ten years ago, my mother decided to take up golf. Our family had never really been in the “golfing set”, so when she started my parents began to mix with a new crowd. At the time of her joining, my brother said something along the lines of “But golf clubs are elitist, aren’t they?”, to which I replied, in a rare moment of wit, “Yeah, but it depends who you know.”
I’m coming to the conclusion that blogs are the same. I’ve been wandering around other people’s blogs a bit over the last few days, and in their blogrolling (or whatever) section I’m seeing the same names coming up over and over again. Do these people really all read each other’s blogs, or is it some sort of mutual link-exchange which I’ve not been a party to yet? Either way, I won’t be linking to all and sundry just because everyone else is. I’m only going to link to those blogs which I read regularly, and there aren’t that many of them yet. I’ve got a few up my sleeve, and if I find myself going back to look for updates every few days, then I’ll guess they’ve got my attention, and I’ll note it here. But until then, my reading habits stay my own.
Next question…… would I read my own blog??

Some good questions there, Dan – sadly, I have no good answers! I do read all the blogs I link to, but will have to try to keep it under control, or I wont get any work done at all, especially with my online gaming/Freecell habit!

I only link to the ones I read regularly and try to cycle out the ones that I have stopped reading. The blog roll is one of those things that you see abused a lot. When I see three hundred links in a sidebar I don’t bother to click on any of them because I figure there is no editing being done on the list. And I re-read my own blog way too much. It’s pretty cool when you come across something funny that you’ve completely forgotten you posted. Makes the whole experience worthwhile.
