Neat way to handle your, umm, blogroll. You enter the sites you want listed, and Blogrolling spits out a tiny little javascript to place in your sidebar. This is really handy for group blogrolls, because when the owner updates it, it updates for everyone. There’s a caution with this though: if you are using blogrolls to give backlinks, google does not see the links for PR purposes. If you want to give a site google juice, you will still need to hard code the link.
A few days ago, I blogged about the do follow plugin I had installed on this blog. Since that time, and time is speedy in the internet world), I’ve been listed on the D List, by my friend Retta. The DList is a list of blogs who follow their comments, giving back links to the folks who stop by with something to say.
Here’s how it works:
***Begin to copy here***
1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.
2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.
3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.
4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW us using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!
5. Leave relevant comments on the blogs listed and get a link back to your site thanks to Do Follow!

***Quit Copying Here***
And after this, I’ll be quiet about myself for a bit. I have just one thing more to tell you about, and it’s a fun and easy meme that I am hosting on DigiCass. It’s called Self-Portrait Sunday, and it’s just that: snap a photo of yourself, and post it. Link back with the button. Leave a comment, too, so others know you are playing and can come see you 
I’m just full of myself this week. Bear with me. LOL! I do truly think these are neat things, or I’d be hiding them under a bushel basket, right?
Today’s spotlight is on the Carnival of the Redeemed. This weekly carnival and it will be posted on Cass’s Midlife Musings. The dealine is Sunday evening for the issue that comes out the following Tuesday. I surely hope to see you there!
I’m not just talking about chicken here! I am hosting a blog carnival for Southerners. You know who you are, and I’d like to hear from you. You a can find more information at Southern Fried Carnival. The first submissions are due tonight, so hurry up! This is a weekly carnival so if you can’t make it today, don’t fret. I’ll leave the light on for ya!
I still like this site. You can choose categories of memes. If you go to the page today, a Tuesday, it automatically shows you the Tuesday memes. There are memes for every day of the week, monthly, anyday, one time, photo, writing, and even lost memes. I’ll be picking some of the photo ones for Digi-Cass. I’ll probably start using some of the other ones for my other blogs, because I like themes. The Daily Meme is a neat site for any blogger.
Today’s neat thing is a wordpress plug-in. It’s called Photopress, and this thing is sweet. I’ve been playing with it for a couple of hours, and it is finally tweaked to my standards over at CassKnits! I did have a bit of trouble at first getting it to put the photos in a location where they could be found easily, but because the thing is infinitely customizable, I was able to look at my directory and file structure and make the needed changes.
If you have a Wordpress blog, this plugin is phantastical. If you don’t, you should get one just to use this plugin!
Based on what you all have said, and my own feelings, I am cutting back. We’ll have 6 neat things per week, and I’ll do a better job of writing them up. This will also mean that I have time to play on the sites I am recommending to you.
I’ll probably start Monday, and I’ll begin by going back over some of the sites I’ve already recommended.
Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it. I was going to email you all, but I can’t do that, the emails come from yourname@noreply.blogger.com, and when I try to reply, I just get them back.
I’m off to change a few settings, now. See you Monday!
