I get consistent emails from various unknown folks asking me to add their blog to my blogroll. I’m never sure what to do as these emails come out of the blue. I hate saying no and I’m always honored when other bloggers add me to their blogrolls. This usually happens after multiple comments or email conversations between two parties, somewhat of a “blog-friendship” is developed or I actually know the person in real life-another words they added me and I did not beg them.
Anyhow, for you other creepy bloggers who are highly seeking your next Technorati breakthrough do all of us a favor and stop pimping your blog to total strangers. Please try and build some sort of friendship and reader loyalty before you send the random email that goes like this:
“Hey I read your blog today, cool stuff…I have a blog also, here is the address: http://creepyblogger.wordpress.com. Do you mind linking me to your blog, that would be great.”
What do you say to that?
Of course for those of you who for some reason read my blog and deal with the 4th grade grammar and crappy spelling let me say a big “thanks” to all of you. If your interested in a friendship and you want me to add you to my blogroll I would gladly do that, just let me know.
I RSS most of my readers so I can keep up with their story, pray for them, root for them and maybe someday we will meet and be able to do cool things for God and our world or at least “virtually” encourage each others journey. These are the folks that go on the blogroll which I will update in the next week or two.
I would hate to see the emails that the big boy bloggers get like (Carlos, Swerve & TSK )
Again thanks for reading and from now on I can refer to this post when the creepy blogger emails come into the inbox 
Man, that was a cool post. Add me. Just kidding! BTW, I type this on my new mac book. It’s good to be here Chris, it’s good to be part of the family.
Seriously, that post made me laugh and I totally agree about building online “blog” friendships. I’ve made a couple of those the past few months, and have really enjoyed them. I always look forward hoping to meet up and have a chance to have discussion or even serve together. That’d be pretty sweet.
