Sorry for the alliteration, but I was trying to think of a way to introduce myself to more blogs that I would not be able to find through normal surfing and blog reading. My blog roll has turned into a sort of "who's who" in the parenting world of blogs. I have a smattering of pagans, a few singles, and a kid or two. I would like to branch out and experience perhaps some new groups out there in blog land. So I came up with this idea for a meme. A Monday Morning Meandering Meme. We can then benefit all week from our efforts, by being able to experience some new blogs, and meet new people. Here is how we play:
Everyone begins on their blogroll or links. Pick a blog at random, go to their site and read an entry. Then choose a link that they have on their blog roll or list of links, and from that blog go to another blog, and so on. Then begin to meander throughout the blogosphere on a walkabout of sort. Then record each link as you go, and at the end of your journey, record your path and finally, where your journey stopped.
If you don't want to spend too much time, although you are bloggers so I know this is an easy assignment, you must have a miminum of 5 links. Then you post all five with links on your blog and trackback to my post so that we can visit each of your adventures!
If you go to a site without a link page or blogroll page, back up and try a different one. In the end we may all find some hidden Gens, erm I mean gems that we would be missing out on otherwise.
Anyone knows how to make me a button for this it would be great. A techie I am not!
This will expose us all to a new set of blogs to read or visit, and at the same time, it will drive the linking trackers crazy trying to keep up with our links!
With literally millions of blogs out there for us to see, I'm sure we wont have a difficult time with this assignment. Try to at least keep it Rated R, I'd hate to have to tell your Mom about all those porn sites you visited.
Here is my walkabout!
fasteddiesbullet already we are on the other side of the planet!
Now from his blog roll it found this!
Then on to.....
Number 4 went to....
and finally I ended up at....
Here Comes Trouble and I had a chuckle about 4 different kind of drunks. Of course I could not associate myself with any of them!
Enjoy your trek. An don't forget to track back here so I can go visit your sites as well. Maybe we can make some new friends and meet some new people. Jay, I do not want to see your site 5 times on your list!
I did it! :)
Of course, every single site was by bloggers with children? Am I really the minority in this? Where are all of childless writers?
see I do that on a regular basis...but then I find some one's blog that really intreagues(sp?) me and I end up reading all their old stuff for the next three days...happens everytime i try to do a walkabout :-)
I did it! But I'm a dingbat and don't know how to do trackbacks... I found a really cool photo blog though. Great idea, Genuine!
Katie,
If you're using Haloscan at your blog go to their site and visit "manage trackbacks" and then click "send a trackback."
You need to have the URL at your site (permanent link) and the trackback URL from Genuine's site (click on trackback to get that) and you should be all set.
If I figured it out, you can too!
Thanks so much Ben, with your help I did my first trackback! I feel like we should share a bottle of wine now. lol
Just trying this to see if it works! http://www.the4morses.com/public_html/images/MonWalk.gif
Don't know if that works or not...give it a try!
LOL. Jay is already on my blogroll. Neat meme though.
