Nine Things About BlogRolls or TweetRolls…or is it TwitRolls?    Okie…now after reading about why people follow and unfollow on Twitter for the past 2 weeks, it’s time for me to self-analyse what and whys of my blogroll!

#1 I only add blogs (or Twitter profile pages) I really really like without expecting a link back.  Yes, part of what makes me satisfied – my blog’s WP dashboard makes me feel a lil like superwoman.  Total 100% control of my blog (well, almost)!

#2  If you did ask for a blogroll exchange, it won’t mean I won’t consider.  But it also doesn’t mean I will respond to give you a reply.   No guarantees made!

#3  I never ask for blogroll or twitroll exchange!  It’s more likely I’d ask you for a small favour….like, commenting in my blog and in exchange I visit yours to give quality comments.

#4  Similarly you have all freedom to add or not to add my blog to your blogroll or twitroll!  With or without informing me – it’s all up to you power-bloggers!

#5  Yes, I already have a few in mind blogs in mind that I’d like to add to my blogroll next week.  I only look at my blogroll weekly.  I look at my Swissroll more often though!

#6  The thought of a long blogroll that stretches to miles and miles when printed on paper – SCARES me!

#7  The thought that I’ve left out some very good blogs in my blogroll scares me too!  lol

#8  Links in blogroll may not be permanent as I remove them for my own reasons (for eg. trying not to get Google slaps again).  So don’t ask why!  It’s nothing personal.

#9  If you’ve an established and ethical site with no past criminal convictions, it’s more likely a blog stays in my blogroll (or twitroll).  [Thanks to Grundy for teaching me "Twitroll"!]

The above are not ‘rules’ but they help me to put more order to a small part of my blog.  And yeah, I actually picked up this “writing skill” from Atherton!

All who do not obey the words of the blogger will have their Heads Roll!  Just kidding!  haha
