Send Me Your Blog Address for My Blogroll!

by John Shore on July 19, 2010 · 82 comments

[Update: I'll leave this post up through today--being July 20, doncha know--and then be sure to get these blogs onto my blogroll ASAP. Probably take me ... I dunno. Day, maybe. Whatever. But I'll get 'em done. Cuz you know how I do.]

The other day I finally got around to explaining why I don’t keep a blogroll. (You can see that explanatory note if you scroll down the right-hand column a bit lot.) But ever since I put that up I’ve been feeling a little weird about it, and tonight I thought, “That’s not really fair. People blogroll me. So what if some people’s blogs aren’t that great, or they stop writing them, or whatever? A lot of the blogs your readers keep are great. Just put ‘em all up, and let people poke around ‘em if the wanna.”

That’s better. So now I’m going to build a proper blogroll.

If you would like to be included on it, please send me the name of your blog, followed by its url. Put it as a comment to this post.

Except not everyone will see this post. Most people who read my blog don’t read it every day. How will I get the word to those people that I’ve done this after this post is history?

Oh, well. For now, this (I hope) will at least be a start.

Send ‘em on! I read a lot of your blogs; I might as well do what little I might to introduce them to others. Thanks!

I have recently become a fan of your blog. The next thing I write will be a big shout out for you. I really do admire your work.

A little more conversation, please

Sorry… very late to the party. I'm a Deist in Texas.

but the domain i chose from Wordpress comes from Christian scripture in which it states where one can find the Kingdom of God. I thought of using the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas-Saying 3 instead but that would have been kinda long.

And yes, sir, I’ve already blogrolled you, observing wee suggestion # 2 from today’s posting.

Mr. Shore … It is okay to not include my blog on your list…I understand. I am not a professional. I am just starting the blog, and may discontinue it. I am not up-to-date on all the latest blogging techniques,etc. Feel free to delete my posting.

I write about God, being a liberal, skirt wearing Christian in the middle of a Baptist church and general thoughts about life. Though it’s a new blog, it is a labor of love.

SoCoGal at pearloftheprairie.blogspot.com. Right now a combo of the typical rantings against neocons and Palin malapropisms, but since you posted my comment I am working on a post of my severely Baptist upbringing and my teen years as a solider in the Onward Christian cult. Stayed tuned.
Also, cats.

My blog is mostly about being a writer and all the things I do – including blogging- to keep from actually writing.

Far From This Shore
http://farfromthisshore.wordpress.com/

This blog was started today. Yep. Today. It's ostensibly about the "Noah Project" – my building a wooden kayak. But the boat is really just a metaphor and provides me with a venue to write, to wax philosophical about life, nature, learning, parenthood and anything else I need to yammer about.

It's currently "private", but will be made public once I have my first couple entries completed.

My blog is called "Faith for Thinkers": http://faithforthinkers.com/

I'm an evangelical Christian and a scientist/engineer with a PhD from Stanford who happens to think he can be uncompromisingly faithful to both those callings. The purpose of my blog is:

– To show thinkers how to explore faith issues, without having to "leave their brains at the door"

– To show believers how scientific discoveries and rational thought are an enhancement, not a threat, to faith

– To promote dialogue between the church and the educated scientific community

I’m glad you;re doing this John. I’m new to reading blogs but feel I’m becoming acquainted with your commenters and would be interested in knowing more of their thoughts.

Had mixed feelings about this since I was dormant for a while, but oh well.

It's called "Megaloi" which is Greek for "great things". Linky is on my name. Topics range all over but have focused a lot on theological issues, especially eschatology.

And the blog will always mean a lot to me because John commented on it one day a few years ago (don't know how he found it) and I've been the thorn in his flesh ever since!

hey, you can want to be fat…. second thought.

You should, however, probably like food to really get the most out of it.

Okay, brains optional too.

Well, mine is the *! Blog of http://emphaticasterisk.com which of course is one of those blogs where the blogger kind of… stops writing. Which I blame on having to work full time. Which shouldn't be a problem anymore, as I'm quitting my job and going back to writing.

Quick, someone cue the "It's the Circle of Life" music!
