		<description>Of course, I couldn't read all the way through this post without checking to see if I was still in.

Otherwise, I'd have to go back and re-design my masthead. ;)

I like this post....there's an element of the blogosphere that is definitely schoolyard. Links get traded with all the fever of my second grader exchanging game cards. I'm trying to stay out of it. I decided recently that I want my blogrolls to reflect what I honestly read. With the caveat that that often changes faster than I can get around to updating my template.

The reciprocal links are the hardest. Sometimes I am linked somewhere and I am thrilled and honored, but that site just isn't a regular read for me, for reasons that don't usually have anything to do with quality or affection. I feel guilty for not linking back to them, but I don't want to start linking just to "be nice" either. 

I like the delicious linkroll b/c it changes with me. It's a pretty fluid thing. I would hate for anyone to get their feelings hurt if they dropped off it. I mean there are always new and wonderful blogs out there, and only so much time to read them.</description>
