Many of you will be happy to see that Christian Ruzich finally taught my techno-illiterate unfrozen caveman self to do the links on the side, like every good blog has. I was being contrary and retro for a while, but that's just an excuse for not knowing how to do something. Kind of like algebra.
But they're there. It's FAR, FAR, FAR from complete and I doubt it ever will be. There's always more sites worth linking to and far better ways to find them. I'll have things on there that I read regularly and when I find something new, I'll likely link to it in the blog, like I did with this blog when it did something interesting. Who knows, it could become a regular.
Blogs come and go, like relievers. What's good is consistency. The ones I read regularly are the ones that give me a good voice, interesting information, and are there. No one can do this every day forever - or very few. There's very few people that can write in an interesting fashion more than once or twice a week. Very few. If you think differently, try it yourself.
I also do something that is different. I don't like names of blogs and seldom use them. To me, the writer is the important thing. I don't read "Bronx Banter", but I do read Alex Belth. That's how I think of it, so that's how I'll list them.
Anyway, feel free to point out good links, but don't beg, please. I get too much of that already. Do good work and you'll get recognized, trust me. Being a link on this blog is no award and gives you no slack. My regulars now are different than my regulars at the start of the season.
