I blush.
So I’m always on the lookout for new blogs to read. Occasionally I’ll actively go hunting for them, like a few weeks ago when I ran across the blog of a library worker and it dawned on me that there must be many library blogs out there. (Duh.) So I searched for other library work-blogs, and found a couple good ones, most notably Foxy Librarian. But going hunting like that is pretty rare for me — mostly I rely on laziness- er, serendipity to find new blogs, by just clicking on links from other blogs.
Once I find a new one that I can bear to read at all, I go through the archives. After I’ve read everything there, then if it’s entertaining and well written enough that I’m still wanting more, I put a link to the blog on my little page here. That way my brain will have a prompt to go see what’s new over there. (Because my memory? Not my friend.)
I don’t always put a link, though. Often I just continue to visit the new blog via the series of links I followed to find it in the first place. It’s only the ones I really like that get linked. Because, you know, we here are very exclusive. It’s like a resort, really.
Um.
Just the other day I found a new and interesting blog the serendipity way. It’s a people-behaving-badly blog (my favorite!), and it’s funny and well written and insightful, all in new and excellent ways. Finished up the archives quick-like and slapped that link up there with no hesitation.
Then last night, I went to check for updates there, and, omg, she linked to me! That is a first, as far as I know. A stranger has linked to me. It’s a weird feeling. It’s like some kind of signal that this page actually exists in the world, and not just in my world. So, Gamestore Girl, I thank you for the link. And to any who may find me through her, welcome! Know that I write mainly to entertain myself, but wouldn’t mind in the least if you got a little entertained too.
