Recently, I managed to lose all the blogs I follow. So I have tried to reconstruct my list from the page of blogs I follow on Word Press, and from links that I am following like a hound dog. And I’ve put them onto a separate page so that the next time Word Press plays with the format, I won’t lose my bloggin’ buddies.
I’ve done this really quickly, AND I am an oblivious sort. So if I left you off, please shout! Let me know! Don’t let me hurt you! I want you on my list. Really.

Thanks, but it is very old. Many of these bloggers have vanished.

I’ve been finding a lot of good ones on Jenny Lawson’s page. I think I saw a comment just above mine that was a new blogger. I can’t remember anymore but I knew you had been around for a bit because you have so much content! Thanks for the tips and well wishes!

I’m a new blogger, too! There are so many great blogs out there, I’m having a ball checking them out. I never really read a blog until I found The Bloggess. Now, I can’t get enough!

Welcome, Marcie!
Actually, I’ve been blogging for several years. The ‘sphere is filled with a lot of thoughtful, fun, funny, wonderful people and a few assholes. Hope you find few of the latter! (That’s been my experience.)
Many of the blogs on this page are no longer current — although some of the best ones are still ongoing. The best way to find new blogs is via comments on ones you already know and like. When someone leaves a clever comment, you can be reasonably sure that their blog is going to be clever too!

Elyse,
I would be honored if you would consider adding my blog to your list. Stop by and check it out. If you like it, you can add me. If you don’t my feelings won’t be hurt 🙂 I know my ramblings aren’t for everyone.
Regards,

Welcome Lea. This is an old list and not everybody still posts. But the ones that do are really good!

Leah,
I (stupidly) responded to your comment on my phone, not remembering who is listed on that page of fun blogs. At least half of them are no longer posting.
I found/still find blogs I like by reading the comments in other people’s blogs and going back to see the stuff written by people who leave fun comments. Or people that the blogger responds to with affection (because nobody writes fun/funny/awesome comments all the time!). That’s how you build your own base of bloggin’ buddies! But it takes time.
Good luck!

Elyse. I just noticed that you listed me as one of your fun blogs to read. I am so appalled that I just discovered this. Thank you so much for your graciousness. I am really touched. Take care.

You’re welcome. But I actually did that page when I screwed up with WP and couldn’t find all the blogs I followed. So I decided to keep it so that I wouldn’t lose my buddies. That was a year and a half ago. It needs a bit of updating as some people have vanished, others have come by.
But you’ll be there as long as you wanna be!

Hi, FiftyFourAndAHalf 🙂
I think it’s lovely how you made that list, and of course I’m honoured to be on it! I actually like looking at blog rolls. When I visit a page I find interesting, I tend to then check out the comments & if the comment is interesting I check out the commenter… & then I check out the blog roll. It’s a great way to get around, on the track of your own interests.
You must have a busy time reading, is all I can say. I find I only get about one or two days a week – such as today, Saturday, when I can actually indulge in some reads. There truly is some choice blogs out there.
Cheers & thank you !

You’re welcome! I put this together when all of the blogs I follow ended up in my Spam folder (which is hard to find on Gmail) and I had to reconstruct my list. I used other “Blog lists” to reconstruct mine because my WordPress list seemed woefully incomplete.

Thank you for the nod. I do like it when we can subscribe and then I can check out my “Read Blogs” list. That keeps me on autopilot until I get side tracked meeting someone new.
