September Edition: Blogroll Schmogroll
Welcome to the second installment of Blogroll Schmogroll.
The good news (or bad news, if you hate this feature) – Blogroll Schmogroll has the potential to be the world’s longest running feature. There’s a never ending supply of fun reads from which to choose. I have a very, very long master list of blogs that will occupy this space at some point in the future.
That leads me to a few pieces of business before we get to the fun stuff:
1. If you want to be featured here, please let me know.
2. Several people have mentioned that they are struggling with how to manage their blogrolls. Would you be interested in doing your own Blogroll Schmogroll and linking up for a monthly blog hop? If there’s enough interest, I’ll put a link up next month. Let me know if you would participate.
3. A little preview for next month: I’ll be featuring Austin-area bloggers. I don’t want to miss anyone! If you are an Austin-area blogger, or if you know of one you love, please send me a link. Thanks!
And with that, here are some blogs you should visit. First, a few new friends. I just (virtually) met these bloggers, and think you should get to know them, too. Rather than tell you why to visit, I’m asking you to take my word for it (would I mislead you?). Click, read, follow:
This next group is not getting its first Wonder, Friend shout out. Chances are you have seen them referenced here recently when I wrote my Word Up YO! posts, but I’m giving you the links one more time just in case you missed them before. The women behind these three blogs are the brains behind Word Up YO!:

I can genuinely say I love every one of those blogs…although I don’t get to one of them as often as I should.
Thanks for the shout!
KLZ´s last [type] ..Cant Help That Day have I already used this post title
@KLZ, You are welcome! Taming Insanity is so good – everyone should read it.
Well, I’m in great company with those fantastic blogs! Thank you for the shout out!!
Natalie´s last [type] ..A Really Bad Combo
@Natalie, You are so welcome!
I think this is a great idea, Missy. I think I fall into the category you mentioned in your previous Blogroll Schmogroll post: created a blogroll ages ago and never update it. Your idea keeps things fresh and points readers to new picks. Fun!
Kristen @ Motherese´s last [type] ..What’s Your Book Rejection Policy
@Kristen @ Motherese, Well at least you created one. I created a Blogroll page and then put nothing on it.
I’m on Blogroll Schmogroll? This is big. I mean, really big. THANK YOU! And I love Common Sense, Dancing. Must check out Laundry Hurts My Feelings – love the name. And you’re in Austin? I didn’t know that! Went to high school there, the parents reside there, etc. Fun place.
Thanks again!
@The Flying Chalupa, Where did you go to high school? And when? Send me an email! Do you ever visit the family?
Definitely visit Joann over at Laundry Hurts My Feelings – You will not be disappointed.
I must echo the Lovely Chalupa — Blogroll Schmogroll? This is turning into the greatest Wednesday ever! (And praise the little 8lb 8 oz Baby Jesus, it’s FINALLY quiet around here so I can get some feeder reading done!!)
Thanks so much for the love. It really does mean a lot to me….I think I’m beginning to find My Tribe. (Not to be confused with the great album In My Tribe, by 10,000 Maniacs, because I know exactly where that is. It’s an oldie but goodie.)
Ahem. Thank you thank you thank you.
Alyson: Common Sense, Dancing´s last [type] ..Shhhhh
@Alyson: Common Sense, Dancing, We had roofers next door today – I feel the pain on your noise issue. I’m glad I could help make your Wednesday!
I agree on the tribe thing, both counts. Now I am digging out my 10,000 maniacs CD’s.
Uh, meek hand being raised, I would like to be featured next month, please? That is all.
Christina´s last [type] ..Reboost
@Christina, Of course! You’re an Austin girl.
I may need your help making a comprehensive list… I’m terrified I’m going to leave out someone by accident.
Some great blogs listed there and a few new ones I didn’t know about. Yay!
Melissa {adventuroo}´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday- Then & Now
@Melissa {adventuroo}, Hope you find a new blog addiction. These are all great ones!
alright, you are awesome and i can’t wait to meet you. but it’s not because you called me a schmog, er something.
i truly love all those blogs, and wish joann would get her patootie on twitter.
liz´s last [type] ..MomFail
@liz, Wouldn’t Joann be hysterical on Twitter? But I think she’s a pretty committed non-tweeter, and I understand… mostly.
Can’t wait to meet you, either!
I love Blogroll Shmogroll!! I didn’t spell that right, did I? I still feel very grateful for being featured on yours last month. I think it’s a great idea! I’d be interested in the blog hop or linky thing you were talking about. Also, I didn’t realize “The Flying Chalupa” was an Austin area blogger. I wonder if she is going to BBC?? I am actually going to be there after all. You are, too, right??
Kelley´s last [type] ..This cheerleading boy makes me LOL
@Kelley, I will be at BBC! So glad you were able to get a ticket!! I don’t think the Chalupa is here – just her family – so we probably won’t get to see her.
I’ll let you know if I get it together and do a blog hop next month!
First congrats on your ‘spot’!
Love that Heather girl, isn’t she something!
Thanx for the blogroll info, love being able to go thro other people’s rolls and picking out the one’s I love, the follow me, follow you becomes a bit of a dud when you have not a nary single thing in common … and who has the time!
So will be checking out your fav’s today and you too of course, (thats means I wonder if we will be friends?)
Just kidding – HI, happy to be here
By Word of Mouth´s last [type] ..Its National Coffee Day- it really has its own day!
@By Word of Mouth, So glad you came by! Hope you found some new blog addictions!
Found some new sites to follow. Thanks!

OKAY!!! So, I can properly thank you, now that I have my eyes back. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I read those other blogs up there and I am honored to even be mentioned in their stellar company. You are a love my dear and I love reading you and now that I can see, I will be doing much more of that.
