It has nothing to do with the sites that appeared there, as I would still recommend each and every one of them to anybody. They are all excellent blogs that I hope others continue to visit. I of course will still show up there frequently as always, commenting and taking away from the content you provide.
These links/blogrolls may appear back in the future, as for now this is an experiment that I want to follow up with. If I am going to have a mentor then I need to take that persons suggestions.
I do have a question for you. Do you know if any visits to your blog or site came from here on occasion or do you even check your stats to see? I do look at the stats to see but not as often as I may need to. It's like anything else that I do, I try not to get too wrapped up in this and take away from the reason I started blogging. For fun and anything there after is a plus. There are only so many steps we can take regularly that keeps us from not getting away from the passion of blogging.
There are so many things from social media promotion, such as tweeting and stumbling to facebook and so on, that if I get all caught up in the seriousness of telling myself I have to do this or I have to do that then there goes all the fun and of course my content suffers. Keywords, backlinks, dofollow, Seo... Yeah this is important to me but not near as important as keeping it real.
Sometimes I have to tell myself, "Whoa Big Red Truck". Then get back to the basics of having fun. So before I get too far off track here, just remember I still love your site and I'll still stumble it, tweet it and most of all visit and compliment your post or constructively criticize it what ever it takes to let you know I'm still here.
On a side note, how do you like my new header? I spent some time today playing around with it. I found this cool site that you can check out here. It's called Cool Text: Logo and Graphics generator. It's free and I like free stuff everybody already knows that, but most of all it's new to me and fun to play with. So if you see some more changes soon you'll know I'm playing with a new toy I found. Blogger Beware!
