One of the things I truly suck with is maintaining my blog - in terms of widgets, badges, buttons and general maintenance and upkeep. Part of the problem is that I don't know how to program, with even the simplest of HTML coding. Part of the problem is also Typepad. Apparently I have an advanced template (whatever that means) and unless I'm mistaken or just ignorant, the user interface for tech neanderthals like myself is neither intuitive or easy to navigate.
I'm trying to change that though...starting with my archaic blogroll.
Since I kicked things off, here's the sum total of my blogroll:
- Third Way Blog
- Ad Jab
- Adverblog
- Micro Persuasion
- MarketingVOX
- Wonkette
- The Media Drop
- Adrants
- Searchblog
- BuzzMachine
For starters, AdJab (sob) doesn't even exist anymore. MicroPersuasion, Buzzmachine, Wonkette and Searchblog don't even carry blogrolls anymore. Is this a sign of status or just the fact blogrolls are sooooooo 2006? In fact, only Adverblog, Adrants and Third Way Blog carry blogrolls, of which the latter two i.e. Adrants and Third Way Blog have reciprocal links back to Jaffe Juice.
I guess my first question is whether a Blogroll even matters anymore. What do you think?
In the interim, I'm going to purge my blogroll and depending on your response as to whether a blogroll even matters anymore, I'll do this permanently or rebuild it.
