Why I do not put a blogroll in this weblog?
I got some request for a link exchange in my weblog. Some people asked me to put a link in my weblogs. Since I do not have a section called “blogroll”, I can’t do that. I have some reasons not to put a blogroll-like in my weblogs:
- There are too many blogs. It might be different in 2002. At that time, Indonesian bloggers were not as many as we have now.
- I can’t guarantee that all links are valid. Some bloggers change their web addresses.
Those are my main reasons. It does not mean that I do not visit other blogs. In fact, I read many blogs. I have hundreds of feeds in my RSS reader. I read aggregators. I am a blogger. I am a blog reader.
at least you have a commenting system available :)
Completely in agreement with you here, nowadays with so much friends we’ve made on Indonesian blogosphere, blogroll management is something that’s becoming way too much time-consuming.
I was deliberating for quite a while on this, before finally deleting my whole blogroll.
To honor my friends, then I decided to install DoFollow plugin – which will disable WordPress’ nofollow tag.
same as with me, Now and future may be I wont to place another blog link to my page.
But if sometimes the money is on my mouth, may be I will do it.
Of course with stylish mode is ON
I don’t have it in my blog since I started it :)
Reason? Just like sufehmi said, it’s very time-consuming
I also remove links section for similar reason
i do have link page, but it never updated since there are too many new blogs. i will start thinking to get rid of that page now, hehe…
i have it on my blog
but never really use it :P
i was thinking about erasing it since there are so many new blogs i found. they’re all good, but if i put all of them on my blogroll, then my sidebar will be very very long :D
Yes, the main reason is that it there are to many blogs. I just do not want to answer this kind of questions, “Can you put my blog into your blogroll?”. I just can’t imagine how my site will look like if I put 100 links in my sidebar.
It does not mean that I do not respect other bloggers… it’s just too many.
hehe blog is completely personal thing, belongs to a person or individual which is nothing to do with somebody else like, say, institution. so, any decision on one’s blog is completely personal. either agree or disagree with link-or-not-to-link stuff it should be respected. including, in this case, your decision to do so. :)
