Blog It Forward

on: Dec/5/03 and its been viewed 700 times

Chelle taught me about Blog It Forward Day. A relatively new ‘thing’ for me - as I had never heard of such a thing before. Until “Blog It Forward”, I used to refer to it as “Shameless Link Whoring”.

Semantics, semantics.

The idea here - from what I gather, is to pick a few blogs off your blogroll and give ‘em the exposure and linkage they deserve. So here I go - - popping my “BIFD” (Blog It Foward Day) cherry :

Pinky has a great new looking blog over there in the UK. She certainly does not need my link whoring, by any means - - she’s pretty well read over there. And for good reason - - she’s one snarky Brit who is sexier than hell. Fancy that!

I’ve been a quiet reader of Infinite Pink for over a year, now and am always entertained by her wit and wisdoms. Plus, her “Home Alone” post is worth a wild chuckle, or two.

Wander over and read Susan at Lilac Rose - - she makes me laugh and smile with many of her postings. She’s definitely a daily read.

Kate over at Electric Venom is the Madame of the Link-Whore-House. I love her blog - you should to. Get over there and read!

The newest addition to my blogroll is Uptown Girl. Smart and sassy with a brand new blog in place that is just too cool!

I should be listing a snippet about all my favorite blogs today - - but I’m not going to until someone, somewhere tells me how to make all the targets for my links within a MT post default to “_blank” without me having to go in and manually insert them!!!

If you’re on my blogroll - - know that I read you at least weekly - - if not daily! Thank you all for all that you do in the way of keeping me entertained and informed!

    go change edit_entry.tmpl in your mt\templ\cms directory and add target=”_blank” in the linky template on line 129. well, at least that worked for me.
