a commitment to the blogroll

Filed under: Stuff

I’m feeling really guilty for not having kept my blogroll up to date this semester. With my use of Thunderbird’s feed reader, I go thru this process of subscribing to a feed in Firefox and then copying that feed info into Thunderbird. This has greatly increased the efficiency of my blog reading and commenting, but it’s also started me thinking about the purpose of the blogroll. For me, it does more than show what interests I have or what community I might be a part of. The blogroll also serves as documentation, like a Works Cited page. Those people and their work/blogging who shape my thinking should get the credit (of course, they might not want this credit).

So, I’m planning to take the time to update my blogroll over the break–even if you’d rather I not. ;)

  1. Does Adam get to stay on it even though he never posts anything? ;-)
