FYI, TMV uses his blogroll. In coming weeks you may see some changes. Some blogs on the blogroll, it turns out, are inactive. We see a few that had us blogrolled but we disappeared from their blogrolls (and yes we know we get both the right and left upset). If you’re a visitor to this site you know that our blogroll almost never has a blog removed if it’s not 100 percent in agreement with us — mainly since no one agrees 100 percent with us (not even our co-bloggers on this site).
We have quietly added some new blogs but we’re going to start to go through each category in the coming weeks to remove blogs that haven’t been updated, one of two blogs that never blogrolled us, or a few that seem to have dropped us. The reason is space…and the fact that the blogroll you see on this site is a WORKING blogroll that’s used in our roundups and rotated in our daily visits. We’ve had readers tell us how useful our blogroll is, since they get an interplay of ideas and lively sites. We agree.
