But I do have my 'Wall of Fame' which acts like a blogroll as well. <br /><br />I can see the top 50 as an admin so I can always click through from there, there's also the reader which is rather long. But if someone makes a comment on my blog, it's an excellent reminder to go re-visit or discover a new blog if they're new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-41851695993175711112012-05-30T04:54:18.114+10:002012-05-30T04:54:18.114+10:00@Toki - but your blogroll is not messy!@Toki - but your blogroll is not messy!Navimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504557372435466448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-7154621688504334102012-05-30T03:13:25.008+10:002012-05-30T03:13:25.008+10:00I've been meaning to organize my blogroll for ...I've been meaning to organize my blogroll for a long time now and this gave me just the incentive I needed, thanks!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746245357258596482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-53893200941347198862012-05-30T03:11:24.778+10:002012-05-30T03:11:24.778+10:00@amijade - since you have caught the eye of a lot ...@amijade - since you have caught the eye of a lot of my blog buddies those days may come sooner than you think!Navimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504557372435466448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-59430505894149987802012-05-30T02:01:36.118+10:002012-05-30T02:01:36.118+10:00Navimie,

Anyhow, every five or six months, I compare my browser bookmark folders to the blogroll on my site and see if there's anyone new I need to add, or anyone who's gone inactive that I need to either remove or recategorize to "Retired Blogs". <br /><br />I've been meaning to do a post specifically about recent additions to the "Fashion" subsection of my blogroll -- thanks for the nudge! ;)Kamaliahttp://kamaliaetalia.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-29896823585674496362012-05-28T08:24:20.446+10:002012-05-28T08:24:20.446+10:00@Cymre - Your blogroll is tidy.

Oh, and I have realised I haven't visited your site for a while, it looks completely different! Oh, and got to love trying to comment on one's phone... I find it a total nightmare! And TY for visiting Matticus, it is a great honour :)<br />@Amijade - TY for dropping by Ms Warlockery! I think for a site like yours that is specifically about Warlocks, lock links are best, but what do you do about those who add you to their blogroll?

I try to rotate out my "fave" reads (it needs to be pruned again!) and keep the more general MMO reads segregated, but otherwise, if you wanna know you've got to click. Since I update my blogroll/feedreader so frequently AND it's so huge, it was too much of a pain in the ass doing it by category.Windsoarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989501837644369050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-31629312891356768272012-05-28T03:35:53.611+10:002012-05-28T03:35:53.611+10:00WTB someone to sort out my blog roll!

If there are other blogs and websites that I think would be valuable for any readers to check out, I keep them separate by adding them as other links, and putting them into categories. I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but I think it helps organize the differences for anyone who might be stopping by and looking around.Amijade The Warlockhttp://warlockery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-1206784021518921972012-05-28T02:40:02.724+10:002012-05-28T02:40:02.724+10:00Whoops, that last ocmment was supposed to be me :\...Whoops, that last ocmment was supposed to be me :\.

These are sites that I personally vouch for and read. I feel that I have a responsibility to the reader and wouldn't feel right if I linked a site that hasn't been updated in months or if the person quit. The criteria used for links is pretty stringent and I never hesitate to revisit and axe anyone that's been inactive. In addition, I'll link to blogs relevant or similar to the stuff I write about (Raids, healing, or guild stuff). It doesn't make sense to point someone to an EVE blog when I don't have any interest in it. <br /><br />If I find a blog not updated in a month or two, I'll just cut it from the list. <br /><br />I'd suggest starting out that a links list of maybe 10 - 15 is a good start. Otherwise, readers may be "frozen" with too much selection. I forgot the name of that psychological term when people are confronted with too much choice, they tend not to make one. So keep it small for now and expand as needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-43887442042708705802012-05-28T01:03:04.066+10:002012-05-28T01:03:04.066+10:00I really need to do something about my blogroll.

However, I'm subscribed to a rather long list of feeds in my reader. My link list on the homepage is broken up into several categories so that helps somewhat with my essential list of 10 or so - everyday reads are the only ones in the social blogroll for easier loading of the page.<br /><br />The other thing I've done recently is the daily paper I publish which rounds up the latest news from Twitter, as it makes it easier to catch some of the news I miss otherwise.<br /><br />Although I find for the number of comments I leave on all the blogs doesn't really reflect what I get back in return which is a shame.<br /><br />However, I do link to others frequently which is nice in terms to pingbacks, if available on their end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
