To tell you the truth, which blogs are on your blogroll doesn’t matter very much to me. If you want to put SLANTblog on you list that’s your prerogative. <BR/><BR/>What I do care about -- when it comes to people seeing my work -- is that I wish I was selling more of the current stuff I put on SLANTblog. Sometimes, I notice a new link to SLANTblog on another blog, and of course, I’m pleased. But to tell you the truth it’s not much of a substitute for an email from an editor saying a publisher wants the piece I just submitted. <BR/><BR/>Of course I’ve noticed some bloggers put a lot of store in blogrolls; they see such a listing as some sort of endorsement. Then others don’t do it that way at all. Some list only fellow Democrats, or fellow Republicans. Others rank blogs like they’re college basketball teams. <BR/><BR/>While all that’s fine, to me it’s not a part of blogging that matters much. Maybe because I’m so much older than most of the political bloggers, I just don’t think much about the social aspects of blogging. Consequently, I haven’t met many bloggers. Nor do I seek to become a part of a blogging team. <BR/><BR/>Still, you asked. <BR/><BR/>So, I have to say that before you so subtly begged to be added, I’ve never thought for a second about putting your blog in SLANTblog’s blogroll. <BR/><BR/>That’s my prerogative.F.T.
