How Much Effort Does it Take to Get on My Blog Roll?

Pussycats are taking over the Internet,

and the World,

Which is really good!

Whatever I like is added to my blog roll,
 

"Cause Pussycats are really Cool, you see.
 

I think you'd surely agree with me! ;-D

 

Good evening everyone!

I put Elvira to work, today, sorting through all my Feline Blog Links, that for years had been in nice, and tidy, blogrolls from Blogrolling.com.

Since they closed up shop last Monday everyone has had to find other ways to post their links on their blog.

The simplest is plain old HTML so I had Elvira practice her spelling, and organizing, skills, then when all was ready I put the new, updated, lists back on the blog!

The lists have grown since I took them down, and one thing has changed.

The "Rescues, Shelters, Societies, Foundations, & Assoc." List has many new additions, some from the links list on the Cat Blogosphere site, and others from  a few links I checked out.

 

My blog roll combines my personal blogroll, with some links from some of the other lists, free for the taking, at the CB, but NOT the Whopper Main CB Blogroll, with 300 or so links.

Not yet, anyway. ;-D

I had got rid off my copy of the CB Blogroll, intending to just link to the CB List Page, but discovered that that list was actually smaller than mine had been, not to mention being a list from 2007!

Eeekkk!!!! ;-D

I shouldn't have dumped my list!

Our corner of the Cat Blogging Community, alone, has come a long way in 3 years. ;-D

Way back in the Spring I'd begun to look at the links in the CB Blogroll, and found some  where the blogger had either quit completely, was now blogging infrequently, or maybe even moved the blog.

Other things happening in our lives distracted me from continuing my exploration, but now I am going to slowly go thru the list again. ;-D

I will use it, as well as all the comments left on this blog this year, to make sure I return all those who were on my first list, to this new one.

Not everyone else on the old CB List will make it on to my blog roll, or any of the other lists in my sidebar, as I go thru it (Hell, most of the bloggers, websites, and organizations, linked in my sidebars don't even know who I am, yet, or even link to me, hee, hee!) but....

If you want to add me to your own blogroll / list of links, and think I might find your website / blog / organization worth adding to one of my lists, then feel free to link to me, and send me your link in an e-mail (It's listed in the sidebar).

I have several ideas for new sections in the sidebars, but adding them will take time.

I have been blogging since 2002, alongside Daddy, and one thing we have learned is that there are plenty of bloggers, and websites, that we link to that don't link back, and visa versa, partly because of ignorance of the others existance, but sometimes out of choice.

Afterall, there is simply no way anyone can link to, or read, everything that is out there. ;-D

When it comes to links in ones sidebar each blogger has their own interests, styles, and  comfort zones in this regard.

I'm pretty sure there is nothing else quite like MY Collections! ;-D

( PS: Anyone old enough to remember the commercials, and jingles, for a certain candy, from the 1950's through the 70's, will know what I am paying tribute to with the post title, and the opening lines. ;-D )

Very informative.

I wish Blogger had an easier way to list a blog roll, when you follow hundreds the list gets mighty long..

Maintaining a blogroll is a lot of work. We haven't had a chance to put ours up yet, either.

And yes, we know the candy reference - those commercials actually lasted well into the 1980s :)
