Okay, friends, I’m ready to put a blogroll back on my front page. Who wants in?
For a while I’ve had a modest list on a separate page, but I was never quite happy with that. Too out-of-sight, out-of-mind. Too much like banishment. I like the idea of a blogroll, and I always check out blogrolls when I visit a new blog, but I don’t care for the long list that most blogrolls become. (Gee, how many times can I say blogroll in one sentence??) Quite simply – I find them overwhelming. Who takes the time to weed through a blogroll the size of the Mississippi River?
Enter the Better Blogroll widget. Check it out – every time you refresh the page, new blogs are listed. Scanable content, baby. Sweet. With a shorter list, It’s easy to find new blogs and click through.
So, who wants to trade links? Drop a comment and I’ll add you. You can see my pretty new blogroll at the bottom right corner of this page. I’ve labeled it community, because to me that’s what a good blogroll is – a fellowship of kindred spirits that enjoy reading and discussing what we share via writings, videos and pictures.

Thanks for the HT! I’m adding you to my blogroll. I see you have CommentLuv – I do to, but since I’ve updated it, it doesn’t show up!
Thank you so much — I added you to my blogroll not too long ago. “Community” is a good name for it!

Juli (Sheep Droppings), I’m very happy to add you to my BR. I love to promote Compassion bloggers.
Hey, Monica! I could have sworn that I had already listed you but I see I didn’t. I would love to trade. How do you want to be listed?

Lavonda Pflugs last blog post..Time For A New Picture
Of course! Everyone is welcome.
Unless you have nasty p*rn, then… well, NOT!
Love that idea!! Because like you, I don’t like a super-long blogroll, but I also would love to include more blogs on my list (like yours!).
However, adding more blogs will make my list too long to be effective, as you mentioned.
Also, once you add one, it’s tricky to take it off. This solves all those problems.
I’m going to do this — sometime — although updating my sidebar always falls to the bottom of my list.
Hi Monica, I followed you over here from twitter. I am pretty new to blogging and not posting real often but I would like to be in your community. I think your writing will speak to me. I am going to give Paper Bridges a closer look when I am not at work (shhhhhhh). I will also add you to my modest blogroll later. BTW, I think you would enjoy my friend, Belinda’s blog at upsidedownbee.blogspot.com.

Hi, Candace, welcome here! Let me know when you add me to your blogroll.
Hi again. Thanks for the welcome. I have you added to my blogroll, “I linger here…”. Now I am going to poke around here a bit before I go to bed.
