Blog Roll and Blog of the Month

I've been doing some organizing here. Apparently it's easier for me to clean up the blog than it is to clean up my house. What am I saying, "apparently" ? OF COURSE it's easier.

I've created a new page up at the top, for my blog roll (are you supposed to capitalize those words? Blog Roll? Or is it Blog Role and we've all just been getting it wrong all these years?). The sidebar was getting pretty long and I wasn't adding anybody new to it because it was too messy, and so.... voilà! A new page! (When you look at the wiki page for the word voilà you will read "here's the cheese," but in French).

So, if you guys wouldn't mind popping yourselves over my Blog (Crescent) Roll page, see if I've put you in the correct category and also tell me if you're not on there and you should be. If so, PLEASE EMAIL ME at jillsmo at gmail.com. PLEASE do not leave it in the comments here, because your blog will probably not get added that way. I'm telling you... it's all about organization. I use my inbox as my to-do list (I have three completely separate to-do lists, by the way) and if I don't see your request in my inbox, your request will be inadvertently advertently on purpose accidentally completely ignored. Is advertently a word? Blogger thinks it's not, it's got that obnoxious red underline.

Anyway, like I say on the Blog Cinnamon Roll page, I took everybody's buttons out of my sidebar, but I don't mean to cut you all off or anything. So, I've decided, in true blogger-egomaniacal fashion, that once a month I will "feature" one of you in my sidebar. See, apparently I think I'm cool enough that me featuring you will make the world a better place, or something. But, I mean... I get a small around of traffic (at least on the days when I post something *rimshot*) so I figure... why not? (I really didn't need to mention the amount of traffic I get, I really just wanted to use the word "rimshot" in some context). Let's let you guys get something out of that, too! Not that I actually get anything out of it. But that's not important right now.

And so, without further adieu (when you go to the Wiki page for the word "adieu," you learn nothing of interest), this month's Featured Blog/Blogger is ....


and here's why....

I've known Tina for years; long before either of us were bloggers, and. I. love. her. And that boy of hers? Well, I never use the word "miracle" in any context other than to talk about free concert tickets, but that boy of hers is a miracle, and. I. love. him.

So, for the month of August, please visit Tina's blog. I put her actual button in my sidebar, even though I really prefer the button she uses on her Facebook page. I think the reasons for that should be rather obvious.....



In case you're wondering, I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to pick blogs from month to month. So.... yeah.

Yay Tina! And that is such a beautiful picture.

Ah, good system! I like organization.
My recent post Ted: A Theater Experience
You inspire me with your organization. I can't even be bothered to post Facebook updates lately. I've got the summer slumps.
My recent post Foggy Mountain (Mental) Breakdown
Yay! Way to share the love :)
My recent post Summer Update
I got all worried when I saw you mention the Crescent Roll because I really wanted you to say Cinnamon Roll. And then you DID!!!!! You are fucking psychic. And the next time a JW shows up to share a tract with you, it might just be me! *hint* the flipflops in place of shiny shoes will be the giveaway... ;-)

The first thing I'll do is look down
The great thing is that I actually do look like the picture Jill drew. I am thinking I should have it on my id badge at work.

And Jill, I would totally make out with you if you didn't live in a completely different state from me! Just sayin'.
My recent post Days of the Dinos
Well done! I think you may have just inspired me to create a separate blog role page!

P.S. I LOVE the featured blogger idea. That is brilliant!
My recent post Nearly Wordless Wednesday: The House of Horny Pets
I like it! And I have a blog roll page but it's not in any order. Hmmmm.... maybe I will change that. You are such an inspiration to us lowlier bloggers! :)

And now I will go meet Tina.
**yay** I love the blog of the month idea!! I need to clean up my blog roll too... At some point....
My recent post Heroes
I love this! A lot of bloggers I'm seeing now want me to pay to be their eFriend. Like $1-3 "swap" badges or something along those lines. I don't want to make blog money. I don't want crowded sidebars. I want everyone's buttons to be the exact same size. I just want to talk about things and people read them and reply. I forgot my point.
Yay blog crescent rolls!

OH. MY. GOD.

Are you telling me I could be getting paid for this shit???????????????
CAN YOU! I went to a book signing for Jenny, the Bloggess. She charges $250 a pop to get on her blogroll for a month. Non-famous, non book writing bloggers are all "hey want to be on my sidebar? $30 for a big ass square, $5 for a tiny square". pimpalicious.

$250?? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????
Alright, we need to get on it and make a blog roll. Especially if it involves cinnamon. Ellen
