I decided to join Blog Explosion a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to explore some new blogs. I've found some real gems and feel that this has been time well spent. I don't care about the 30 second thing. If a blog looks interesting to me, I'll read it for quite a while, comment and rate it, and then I'll bookmark it and go back for more when I'm looking for things to read. If I REALLY like it, I'll blogroll it on my site. If it's boring or [[OUCH!]] hard on the eyes, I'll move on. Quickly. No comment, no rating, no 30 second wait. I just move as quickly as I can.

The last SIX blogs that popped up are knitting and crafting blogs. SIX in a row. One more time for emphasis: Six...knitting...blogs...in...a...row. What the hell? Did all of the knitters band together and decide to join at the same time? Did Blog Explosion turn into TiVo gone horribly wrong? You TiVo folks know what I mean... Did Blog Explosion notice I paused for a while on a knitting site and then determine that I have a yarn fetish?

I would REALLY like it if I could click buttons next to the types of things you like to read. I'd like humor and blogs about the daily lives of interesting people, thank you. I would not be clicking the button next to political, rehashing of news, crafting, or anything having to do with promoting a business. Please do not take offense if you write those sorts of things. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who love reading your blogs. Just like I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't like to read the inane drivel I tend to write. No worries, it's all good.

Oh, since I'm on the topic of the annoying side of blogs. Read this by ASB. I'm just going to save myself some typing and say, "Me Too."

Thank you, and have a nice day.
