Because No One Wants to Blog Alone

June 4, 2006

Just to show that I can be lazy on a Sunday even when I’m not actually here, I’ll eschew the usual yuks and get right to a new feature that might actually be useful for some of you.

Every so often, I scout around for the current crop of weblog resources — search engines, feed readers, directories, and the like. Partly, I like to keep up on the new features and technologies out there. And partly, I’m interested in finding new ways to discover interesting sites.

“If the ‘net were a beachcomber, I’d be the sand in its swimming trunks. That’s just how I roll.”

Mostly, of course, I just want my site’s name jammed into every conceivable nook and cranny of the interweb. If the ‘net were a beachcomber, I’d be the sand in its swimming trunks. That’s just how I roll.

Anyway, my obsessive bouts of self-promotion aside, I find it useful to know which blogging resources are currently available, and to buddy up with as many as are remotely relevant. And it occurs to me that some of you with weblogs as well might be interested in doing the same. So I thought I’d share. I’m a sweetie that way.

The rationale thusly explained, I’m happy to offer my revamped, updated, full-color, and ‘oh-so-much better than the one I used to have’ Weblog Affiliations Page. It’s not meant to be a comprehensive list; just a rundown of all the blog-related gadgets and directories that haven’t kicked me out yet.

Links are provided to sites in several categories, for those of you who are keen to explore for yourselves. Or those of you keen to get your grubby little eyeballs on every single reference to this fair weblog, no matter the seedy and disgusting places you’ll have to travel to do so. You know who you are, you filthy little monkeys.

(And so do I — we should have coffee sometime. Call me!)

Anyway, that’s all for now. Tune in tomorrow for another installment in the Vacation Week Parade o’ Feature Updates. Meanwhile, I’ll be sipping mai tais on a beach somewhere, working on my tan. Don’t hate me because I’m bronzed and tipsy, folks. It’s not often I get the pleasure.
