So I finally decided to add a Blogroll to my sidebar.  Mainly, this will make it easier for me to check blogs at work.  Wait, did I actually type that?  Obviously, this does not happen often…I actually work very hard during work hours…

I’m debating about which links to actually include on this page.  The easy choices are the ones that are currently on my page- these are blogs that belong to people that I actually know outside of the blog-world.  Posting the links to these pages doesn’t feel weird to me at all.  But I read several blogs of people that I do not actually know, and I have mixed feelings about including these in a blogroll.

One one hand, it makes me feel like a stalker.  Lurking is one thing, advertising for a stranger is another.

One the other hand, I’ve seen other blog writers do this, and I realize that this may be a commonly accepted form of blog-flattery.  In that case, I’m happy to do what I can to increase traffic to blogs that I think are entertaining or interesting.

Thoughts?
