Well, with the election over and the evil menace of insurection past, it's time to do a little blog-cleaning and pull some of the old campaign stuff down. Oh, of course they'll be packed away until such time as they're needed, in the hall closet with the Christmas decorations and the old Easter baskets. Can't bear to part with them completely.
So if things look a little different around here for a while, that's what's going on in the Rumpus Room. And be sure to take a gander at the links. I've found a few great new blogs that I will be adding as well. Read a few bloggers you haven't read before and expand your horizons a bit. You'll be glad you did.
Update: Well, if you peruse the blogroll over on the right, you will find about a dozen new bloggers I found had linked me but that I had never reciprocated. Damn, I hate it when I miss linkage like that.
Right now, they're in the section "Folks That Make Me Think" but as soon as I find out where they really belong, they'll be moved.

Click around and leave a "Hello" on these new additions to the blogroll. And be sure to support them by perhaps adding them to your own. Linky-Lovin's are a wonderful thing.
Oh, and another thing. If you're not looking at your Tehnorati link list once in a while, you really should. You'd be amazed at what you'll find. I find folks there who have linked to a post or have put me in their blogrolls, and if not for that site I'd have never known. You don't have to sign-up or pay for the service. Just enter your full URL and let it search. It's a great tool for bloggers interested in maintaining a good, full blogroll that includes the good folks who have them linked.
Thank you for two things, 1) for blogrolling me and 2) for reminding me to go to Technorati. I hadn't been in a week and realize I need to check more frequently. I too have just had to update my blogroll!
I am hoping your daughter had a most wonderful birthday???

Posted by: Jack at November 8, 2004 11:20 AMThanks for blogrolling me! When I figure out how to put up one of my own, you'll be at the top of the list! (Yep. I admit it. I'm a dork when it comes to the complicated side of blogging.)
BTW -- How was Anna's birthday? And send her more greetings from her Birthday Fairy Blogmother!
