It’s been a long time since I have done this, but I need to update my link list over there on the right.  Yesterday I was clicking through a few of them and realized that some of them are out of date.  They are clicking to blogs that have changed or are no longer updated.  Also I have noticed several new people around here commenting who have blogs that I don’t link to.

Here’s the thing.  In the spirit of community, I want to link to you if you link to me, so I am considering this post a house cleaning post.  If you link to this blog, and I don’t link to you, let me know and I will remedy that.  Also if you have changed your blog address to something other than what I link to, let me know.

And if you haven’t yet, make sure to check out some of those links on the right.  There’s some pretty cool stuff over there.

I’ve been ‘link loved’ a lot since I started this blog and I appreciate it a lot. Today I wanted to try something in celebration of being “link loved”.  Here’s what I am thinking.  I found this little stat box in my Google Analytics.  Now these stats aren’t from the beginning of my blog, but more simply the beginning of the year.  From January 1st until now these sites are the top ten sites referring people to me.  Isn’t that sweet of them?

Here’s what I am thinking.  Somewhere in your blog stats, there is a way to find this same type of thing.  Most of you folks know how to find it.  Let’s make a linked list in the comments section of this post of your top ten referrals (excluding Google, Twitter, and other things like that), and give them a big fat “thanks for sending people my way”.  That way we can all go check out the folks that are sending people your way the most.  In my case there are only seven actual people in my top ten, but your list in the comments should look something like this:

1.RagamuffinSoul.com
2.ThisisKristin.com
3.AndriaMusic.wordpress.com
4.BrianSeay.wordpress.com  
5.DaleyHake.com 
6.AaronIvey.wordpress.com 
7.VisualComa.com 

So, that’s it.  Let’s see your top ten.  Remember, just list and link to the people in your top ten list, not Google or Twitter or anything like that.

**Just a heads up though.  Because you are putting so many links in the comments it will be sent to my spam box at first. So if you don’t see your comment right away, don’t worry, I will get it out.**

Ready?  Go.

It has recently been brought to my attention that there are several blogs out there that I am unaware of that neither link here, nor do I link to them. There are blogs from friends I didn’t even know were blogging, friends that had stopped but now started up again, and even folks that read this blog, and I have no idea you are there. Let’s fix that.

I realize my link list over there is long, and I tried to break it in half so it was more manageable, but I still think there are people out there that deserve to be on that list. And no, Bush, it will not rotate. Plus the fact that the list on the left is longer than the list on the right is weirding me out a little.

So in the spirit of building a stronger community here, let’s link up. Leave me your address and I will link to you and we will virtually sit like those white faced, round headed people up there, only not as close because I like my personal space.
