I'm closing the blogroll

I haven't had the time to devote to the blogroll and I doubt that this fall will be any different so I have decided to stop updating it. I will not be deleting the blogroll so if you want to keep it on your blog, it will be available.

Happy Mother's Day!

I've finally updated the Metablog to Blogger Beta!

They'll be other changes to the blogroll as well. I'm going to randomize the blogroll. If you like going through the blogs in alphabetic order you can go here for an alphabetic listing of the blogroll. Randomizing the list will let me know when I have dead links and will increase the traffic for blogs that update often.

As you may notice I've installed the blogroll on its own page and then I've linked to the page in the sidebar, this is how I suggest everyone install the blogroll. It's getting big and it takes awhile to load but if you have it on it's own page, that won't be a problem.

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Well, I only received three Carnival entries! Here they are:

Share Christmas wishes with CyberCelt on Texas RV Travel blog and Advertising for Success blog.

Angela: "This is just a rant about being late with my holiday cards"

I guess we're done with Carnivals. I have an idea for blog promotion that shouldn't be too hard for me to do. More about that after the New Year.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I will be adding new members soon and will be giving this blog an overhaul. I haven't abandoned Blogging Chicks and won't. I remain committed to promoting the blogs of women :-)

I'm Back!!!

Yes, I didn't abandon the blogroll! If you want to be part of a Christmas carnival, email me your link and a one or two line description of your post by Sunday morning. I will be posting what I receive by Sunday night.

No Carnivals Until December

Since interest in the Carnivals has wained and I'm only getting a trickle, I'm going to suspend doing Carnivals until Christmas. I thought we could do a Christmas Carnival on Dec. 23.

Since it's time to write my exegesis paper, my church history paper (on the Greek apologists) and preparing for finals, I won't be adding to the blogroll until after Dec. 16. Please email me if you need to change something or want to be added but I won't reply for awhile.

If I get a chance during breaks, I'll try to get to some of my email. I certainly don't want to be overwhelmed by it when I'm done with classes :-)

No Carnival today

As you might have guessed there is no carnival today. I only received 1 entry. I will save it for next week.

I'll be putting up the Carnival tonight and if you're having problems with the blogroll

Please don't dump it. I'm going through the blogroll and am deleting those who don't have the blogroll on their blog. If it's hanging up your blog, then publish it on a post (as if you were blogging about something) and then put a link to that page in the sidebar. If you have any problems with it, email me and I'll try to help.

Carnival Tomorrow

Here's your reminder :-)

Carnival of the Blogging Chicks #52

The Carnival is meant to showcase the blogs, you don't have to send in something that's profound. In fact, it's better to send in something that reflects your blogging style so that potential readers get a feel for what type of a blogger you are. Who knows? They might just think you've got something.

There will be a Carnival next week. Send in whatever is indicative of your blogging style or a post that you want more people to read.
