Facibus On Blogging

Ian left the following comment on my Blogrolling post yesterday:

I use my blogroll to show the blogs I am keeping tabs on regularly. Thus it gets added to when I see one I like, and cleaned up occasionally when a blog goes stale from my perspective.

As for self-listing in the blogroll, I don’t. I think that linking to my own blogs sort of comes across as a bit wanker-ish.

This got me thinking about how I do link to my own posts to promote them - either from within my own blogs (when writing sneezy yarns) or on social bookmark sharing services (like coRank and bloggerati.com.au).

I started The Blog Link a few months back as a Drupal community site. While it did receive some attention from spammers, it didn’t really grow into a community as such. I’ve spent part of today installing and fine-tuning Pligg (a ranking platform similar to Digg, coRank and bloggerati.com.au) so that I could, at least, have a place that I owned to throw links in for my own  favourite metablogging posts (whether I wrote them or not).
