It's hard not to consider it your fellow blog "friend list" but try to also keep it relevant to the readership your building. Remember, you may not be able to read them every single day (God knows I can't - gotta cycle them), but you should frequent them when you can and comment when possible. You should also review your blogroll regularly to "clean house". Yep, add the blogroll, whether it’s categorized or now.

I set up a page of links that I set up many years ago, mainly for myself, but also something that I've referred to on my blog sites in the past. Right now that page is really only used by me, so I don't promote it much. I like ideas of judiciously linking back to other blogs in blog posts. I have yet to build my blogroll on my newest blogs, for some of the same reasons you cite. I believe it's possible to build different blogrolls, with blogs in categories, based on how you see them or what they write about. As for me, I might wind up doing the separate page of links. I still haven't decided. When I first started blogging, my blogroll grew to be unwieldy.

Thanks for your comment, and your insight. Blog rolls are an good place for people to see where to connect next. I like Amanda's idea of featuring different blogs each week. What do you think of that idea? Jennifer, you are like a shining gem in the crown of our Queen City. Thanks for your comment, and your insight.

Do a better job...yeah I'm snarky, but not quite that snarky. I love the sentiment, however. We do have to challenge one another to be better. It's bloggers like you Lance, that make me want to be a better writer. Thanks. Suck it up losers? Do a better job…yeah I’m snarky, but not quite that snarky. I love the sentiment, however.

I can rotate the blogs I choose to feature based on merit and relevance. I love it, thanks for the suggestion. Amanda, now that’s a do-able idea that isn’t hard to manage.
