Have you felt like things have been a little high-strung in the blogosphere lately? I know I was beyond edgy myself until just recently – I know it was a combination of the holidays & the job situation (more about the latest debates on that tomorrow.) So I think Robyn’s hit on a great idea when she declared tomorrow, January 14, 2003, the Bloggin’ Lovefest day.

“Devote one post to a blogger you love (and you can’t pick Robyn) — and tell everyone why in 1500 words or less. Let your readers know how that blog has changed either your day — or blogging — for the better. Even if that’s just because it’s damn silly and makes you smile. Then go tell that blogger you’ve written about them. After that, ping me or post it in the comments so everyone can see what you’ve had to say.”

I’m temped to write about more than one person. I’m a Libra, I can’t make decisions. I’ll wait and see though what happens by the end of the day.

Come on – spread the love. It’s time to make the blog world a better place.

By the way, if you have access to the restricted post and you wondered why I set it up as a post with an extended entry, that’s because Bloglet doesn’t realize I restrict some of my posts – so it will send the whole thing through! It only sends the main portion of the entry though, not the extended entry portion – so I split it up intentionally. I also did this so I can hide it from RSS and XML feeds.

If you don’t have access but you are sending the e-mail to get access, please tell me something about yourself – I prefer to know where your website is if you have one or where you are located at if you don’t. I know some people read this blog and don’t leave comments and don’t have blogs themselves – I don’t want to shut you out. However, I do want to make sure that you aren’t one of the small handful I want to keep out, so if you don’t say anything expect an e-mail back from me asking who you are!

In case you didn’t request access to the restricted posts but you have recently left a comment and I know who you are, I’m going through and granting access to people. In reality, there are very few people that I don’t want to see those posts. so this just makes sense for me. Plus it is helping ward off the spork sensation that I was having yesterday.

Yo, word to the spork posse.

It’s time for another round … Blogwhore 2: Revenge of Blogwhore is here! You want to play? Are you down with your blog? Are you the biggest whore of them all? Then head on over to Shel’s place and enter! And like Shel points out – the last game had new & established bloggers, which made it even more fun! I made a lot of wonderful, wonderful friends – both in the game and in the peanut gallery. So what are you waiting for? Sign up! You too can be a Blogwhore just like me!

As I’m cleaning up things around my blog, I realized I should add a link to subscribe to my site via Bloglet to my sidebar. In the meantime, if you want …

And if you have Bloglet enabled on your site – or if you add it – let me know so I can subscribe to your site too! Thanks to Christine for the post about hers – sparking me to remind everyone about mine!
