A Blogroll Question

Speakin of blorolls...which I did several posts down.

Annie from One Thin I HATE About Today recently asked her readers:

How do YOU decide if and when to link to someones blo?"

It is an interestin question and she kindly ranted me permission to borrow it. Yes, I am returnin the question at the end of the day. How do you decide when and if to include someone on your bloroll. Do you link to someone only if they link to you?  Do you have multiple blorolls?

Do you ever wish you could invite everyone on your bloroll over for a roup hu, or is that  somethin unique to me?

An An open Letter to My Blogfriends...

In honour of Visitor Appreciation Day.

Dear You,

Many weeks ao someone wrote to me and explained that she was somewhat confused about why  so many people  thouht micheleanew.com was so fabulous. She didn't et it.

Well, let me tell you why I think my blo is fabulous:
The people who visit it.

I am lucky to have a somewhat lare roup of reular and somewhat reular visitors who are thouhtful, creative, amusin, insihtful, kind, and above all else respectful of each other. This makes it a fun and safe place to comment. 

Someone else once told me that my blo  would be more interestin if it  were more controversial or substantial. Well, I like my blo just how it is, thankyouverymuch, and it seems so do a few others. Yes, I know it is liht. Yes, I know it is often silly. It is meant to be.

One of the thins I love about micheleanew.com is the sense of  community and willinness  to spread  what I like to call comment cheer.  I thank each and every one of you for continuin to make  others feel  special by visitin their blos and sayin Hello, Michele sent me.

I will continue  to point out the sites of my blo-friends and hihliht thins that miht be of interest to you. So please keep them comin. I will also continue to be rateful to each one  of you who pauses lon enouh to say hello.

Thank you so very much for bein so fabulous.  

With Love
Me.

Update: I wrote this post to thank you. However, the comment section became a ift to me. That was not my intent but I am so very rateful for your kind words. Each of you made me smile. Thank you so very much.

A Papal Request

Imaine this:

The Vatican has just contacted you and has requested that you offer advise to Pope Benedict XVI. They have also asked you not to be rude in doin so.  I have assured them that my visitors are not rude or disrespectful.

Well, o ahead and offer.... 

The I Spy Game

It's a repeat of a ame that was played three months ao.....

Accordin to some people I make up silly ames. Keep this in mind as I suest the followin:

The person above you has the maic ability to look throuh your computer monitor and see you and your surroundins. Don't be frihtened they are just here for the ame and they will leave in a moment. Just before they disappear they play the I Spy ame. Yes, you know which ame I am talkin about, the anti-boredom road-trip ame that requires you to uess what the other person has spied based on a one word clue.

So, tell us what your thru-the-monitor visitor miht have spied based on their clue. Also do not foret that after you have answered the person above you it is your turn to look throuh the monitor of the next person and tell them what you spied. Sound fun?  Of course it does. If it does not sound fun then I spy a party-pooper.   

Now let me bein by lookin throuh the monitor of the first person:

I spy with my little eye somethin that is soft.
